If as I have suggested, institutions and government
and society and political systems and economic
systems are feed by like a car, like a human being, then
what is this magical food/energy source?
these institutions are fed by the energy, effort,
time, money we put into these systems…
at one time, belief in certain religious systems were prevalent in
the world… for example, certain parts of the ancient world,
believe in Apollo and Aphrodite and Ares and Zeus and Hera
were the religious icons of the Greek world…But ask yourself,
what happened to these gods and goddess?
they died from a lack of energy… they were no longer being fed
by the energy, passion, time, effort and money of the people…
they died an entropic death from a lack of energy…
for a belief system to maintain its coherence, it must have a certain
amount of energy going into it… without that energy going into every
system, it eventual dies… the Roman and Greek and Egyptian belief
systems all died an entropic death by losing too much energy…
not enough people believed in and support those belief systems to
allow them to survive…
belief systems like cars and people require energy to maintain itself…
government is no different, if we deprive government its energy, it
dies…if we take away our allegiance from government and take
away our energy and time, money, passion and our involvement
in government, it dies… simple as that…
why is American government in so much trouble today?
enough people have taken their energy, time, money and effort
and put it elsewhere…not into government, but into something else…
take the cult of trump… that energy, time, money and effort
put into the Cult of trump has damaged America…
I would call the cult of trump a energy vampire… it takes real energy
and effort and time and money and sinks it into something wasteful
and worthless… it takes energy away from the important matter like America
and it fuels trump/IQ45… which is a waste of energy…because it doesn’t
help our government or our society or our state or our political or economic
systems…that is where our energy, time, money, effort, should be…
we can save that in which we put our energy, time, money effort into…
so if we put our energy into democracy and freedom, that is what we can save
and promote and it becomes “the value system” by which we decide all other values…
Nazi’s rose because people put their energy, time, money, passion and effort
into the Nazi’s… if the people had put their effort, time, money, passion into
the government it would have survived and flourished and become the government
that people need and want…the energy you put into something helps
decides if that something lives or dies… so by participating in our capitalistic
system, by putting energy into capitalism, it survive and flourishes…
take energy away from capitalism and it dies………I must admit, taking
away energy from a political or economic system isn’t very flashy or
dramatic or even very radical… killing a political system slowly or
a economic system slowly is the best way to go about it though…
because that slow death allows a new system to form and become
our new reality…a new reality we support by energy, time, money,
effort, passion…it is a quiet, merciful death that I want for the
tyranny of economics in America… the full on tyranny of capitalism
and the corporation that dominates and compromises America to
the point of extinction…
in order to save ourselves and we must, must kill capitalism…the
sooner, the better…
one only needs eyes to see, to see what a complete and total disaster
capitalism has been to the natural world. we have driven entire
species to extinction in order to fulfill our need for wealth and material
goods…we have brought upon ourselves climate change to have
a nicer car or a bigger TV set or a slightly longer couch…
what we have done to the environment to further our economic
system is something that future generations will hate us for…….
we have sacrificed the future to fulfill our present needs of money, profits,
material goods… and I was going to write a “dam shame” but that isn’t
violent enough to condemn what have done to our one and only planet…
our greed and lust and ego have conspired to severely damage the world…
our values, our negative values has done this…
our negative values put into our political and economic
systems has done irreversible damage to the world…
one the animals are gone, we are gone…
one might say, Kropotkin, you are being overly melodramatic…
I say, you haven’t faced the truth… you are willfully ignorant
of the plight we have put ourselves in…
let us imagine two possible situations…
let us say, I am right… then we must do everything
we can to mitigate our current damage to the world…
if I am right, we don’t have much time…
let us say, you are right… then we aren’t pressed for time…
we don’t have to act right now……
the problem is if we don’t act, we are doomed…
we must act as if we don’t have any more time…
not only to save planet earth, but to save ourselves…
recall our work on systems… that which survives is the
system in which we have put our energy, time, money,
effort and passion into…… we, ourselves, determines
which systems survive and which systems die… by
the placement of our energy, time, money, effort
and passion…
and that is why we must, all of us, become involved into
our systems… the more people who engage in our
political and economic systems, the more likely our
economic and political systems survive…
so, you are important, you do have choice, you can decide the fate
of the America society and the fate of the world by your decision
of which political and economic and social system you care to put
your time, money, effort and passion into…….
the average citizen becomes relevant again…
by their choice of which political and economic
and social system we choose to live by…
