Another critique of the existing order.
Is the U.S.A arriving at a: revolutionary situation? Rumors of war, martial law, and economic collapse abound. It’s seems I heard this all before. When was that? Ah yes, 1973, when Nixon was president. All the apocalyptic predictions never materialized. Now it is the Patriot act, yesterday it was Senate Bill 1.
Now you must choose between optimism, pessimism or objectivity. I am drawn to objectivity, which does not make me superior to anybody. Yeah, I do have a tendency to look at the dark side, however a perfect survival mechanism is to be sane and objectivity is that sanity.
Is the American corporate structure at the top have any sociological awareness or that delegated to some think tank? Is American Capitalism just driven by irrational greed or is it all well calculated? The answer to that question varies. Some multinational corporations has adopted the Neo-Liberal agenda other wise known to in the USA as Neo-Conservatism other Corporations such as the food industry, or clothing industry are owned by traditional WASP families which the only objective is profit, it is mainly economic. The same goes for the other industries such as the entertainment industry, which is owned by non-WASP owners. They believe in the classic cooperative capitalism in which the owners are benevolent to their work force and their customer base. They want to maintain the status quo of, “Boss & worker” but they see them selves as the stern but nice elitist. Then there are the oil companies along with the energy industries with the defense industries that believe in war and Neo-Feudalism. So what drives them? Totalitarian ideology, White supremacy, irrational greed, or a secret agenda for a new world order? To answer that question you must look at the sociology of their inner-circle. President Kennedy once remarked in a interview that during the Great Depression that his within the isolation of his wealthy family that he had no idea about the struggles of the common U.S American. So here lies the problem of the ruling elite, they are isolated from reality. They are reliant on reports from their underlings about the plight of the unwashed masses. Some tycoons are so consumed by their life style of debauchery and hedonism that let others do the political strategy for them. Then you have corporate magnets that are ideologically driven who run their empires by social engineering. They admire stories about American organized crime bosses and try to emulate them. They hide behind crooked lawyers and think tanks with funny names to manipulate society. Are these type of tycoon’s evil geniuses or just following their animal instincts? In my opinion, it could be both but I think they underestimate the power of the masses. Isolation for centuries did kings and queens in. When the peasants where at their door with pitchforks and insane anger, it was too late. The first question that pops in their heads is: Why wasn’t I told about this? The Czar of Russia realized this before the Red Army killed him and his family, but alas, it was too late.
With this last year of the Bush administration, the American left wonders if Bush would be audacious enough to suspend the Constitution and declare Martial law? In my opinion, that would not happen because the enormity of that task. One thing nobody is focusing on is the loyalty of his military. Most of the brass does support their commander in chief. They would most likely turn the guns around and side with the people. Bushes private Army is minuscule in membership and could not fight a civil war in the USA. Most of the rich do not want a police state. They intern would finance the American resistance.
Now the biggest task for the Neo-Fascists in power, could they fight a foreign war while trying to suppress their own people? Never in history that worked, that is why the Red Army won the revolution in Czars Russia. While the Czar was trying to conquer foreign lands the streets of Russia were rivers of blood and rock throwing peasants.
So will the rouge element of the CIA stage another fake terrorist attack? If they did, they would be under heavy suspicion. Bush would be discredit as the protector of the USA. It would be pure political suicide. They got away with 9-11 because of the element of surprise. If they did do this, the rage would not be aimed at the terrorists who did the deed, but at the government. It would be bold if they did it again.
Their own Conservative and right wing Christian base are now challenging neo-Con propaganda. They see the through the, “Spreading Democracy” rhetoric and it realize it not Democracy their spreading but good old fashion imperialism. They realize you can’t spread Democracy when you eliminated at home. The American right would unite with the American left temporarily in street to fight the Bush regime. This happened in World War 2 with the Chinese revolution. The right wing Nationalist Chinese army suspended their war against the Chinese red army and united with them to fight against the Japanese. When the war was over, they resume fighting again.
It will be interesting to see what the Bush crime family does now that their backs are up against the wall. So to my U.S American comrades, I don’t think a Revolution Situation is at hand but I would’t bet on it. The forces of nature are unpredictable, and the same nature of a insane president would be ego maniacal enough to pull a stunt like martial law. Even the Neo-Cons are backing away from the Bush crime family. Bush will leave the country as a failed dictator and grow a bread and become reclusive. This is going to be quite a year.
