Ever
notice how you will be thinking of something, and then your best friend
or your Aunt or your neighbor ---completely out of the blue---comes up
talking about the same thing? That happened to me today. I was
thinking about the “-isms”----- imperialism, feudalism, communism,
socialism and fascism.
Those
of you who have been following along will remember my Dad’s explanation
of communism and fascism to me circa age five: “The Communists steal
everything and pay for everything. The Fascists steal everything and
then make you pay for everything, too.”
This
naturally gives the Fascists a substantial material advantage over the
Communists, which the Communists lament on moral grounds.
Imagine
two bands of thieves arguing over who has the moral high ground? The
Communists saying, “Yeah, we are thieves, but at least we are honest
thieves and pay for the upkeep of what we stole.” And then the Fascists
answering, “Yeah, but you are still thieves and too stupid to take full
advantage of it.”
This ridiculous bickering goes on and on and the rhetoric never changes.
The
comparatively panty-waist white collar crooks known as Socialists then
start waving their handkerchiefs and saying, “Gentlemen! Gentlemen! We
all want a better world…..”
To which the Communists and Fascists both roar, “Go soak your heads! And keep your hands out of the cash box!”
Nobody
ever stands up and says, “Hey, you guys, ---all of you---go earn an
honest living! This world has outgrown any need for gangs of thieves
setting themselves up as governments!” ---mostly because we are in fact
too busy earning an honest living to pay any attention to the flag ends
of the political spectrum.
At
a certain point Socialism, Communism and Fascism fade together into one
big pile of oppression called “the State”, also known as “the Monarch”.
Which brings us to the other, older “isms”----- feudalism nee imperialism.
Feudalism depended on certain men backed by certain armies having the gall to claim that they are kings by “Divine Right”.
This amounts to saying, I can beat you up, so God sides with me. The end.
Faced
with five thousand armed and armored knights on war horses, who was
going to say anything otherwise? Only another king with ten thousand
armed and armored knights on war horses.
So
around and around it went, with this king beating up that king, one
gang against another, year after bloody year, disaster after disaster.
I
was just reading about how the bodies of the 50,000 dead soldiers at
Waterloo were plundered for their teeth, which were pulled on the
battlefield and used to make false teeth known as “Waterloo Dentures”.
The British Crown made the profit on that venture.
They went home smiling. Everyone else got buried in a trench.
This
system of things carried right on through the Second World War, but by
that time we were no longer dealing with this king versus that king; no,
by then, vast alliances of kings and potentates had formed, all lined
up on two sides, pushing and shoving.
And
for the last 72 years the threat of an all-out nuclear war has kept a
simmering lid on things, because even madmen have sense enough to know
that if they destroy all life on this planet there will be nothing left
for them to rule over.
Instead,
we have entered an era of what I shall call “commercial feudalism”
where the same Bad Actors play out their war games on a different
stage--- undermining each other’s economies and currencies by securities
fraud and counterfeiting and other white collar crime gambits to
continue robbing innocent people.
When
you stand back at a distance, the only difference between a king and a
Communist or Fascist dictator or Socialist Prime Minister or President
of the United States (Inc.) is the verbiage behind the oppression and
the excuses used to justify it. It all boils down to self-interested
gangs of armed thieves setting themselves up as governments to rule over
the rest of us, and despite all the permutations and rhetoric the end
result is pathetically similar.
Would
you like raspberry flavored feces? Or chocolate? Maybe gumdrop? How
about some key lime poop with a sprinkling of sugar on top?
How long
must we suffer this weird insanity before we all embrace and declare
the Kingdom of Heaven, where every man is a king and every woman is a
queen? Where each home is an inviolate palace, and everyone has their
own good Earth to tend and no need of war or plunder? Come home, to the
only true Republic and the simple Laws of Heaven: peace, free will, and
equal consideration.
Getting
back to my starting comment, about the odd and yet familiar common
theme appearing at the same time for no rhyme or reason, just as I was
musing about these topics today---look at what came over my desk?

“isms” are all about from fifty years ago, with my thanks to Tarrin
