Post-Malthusian and Marxist publicly-permitted thinking incorporates three seldom-recognised misconceptions.
The first is the Elite-derived version of democracy; that is, that electing somebody else to represent us within a rigidly controlled chamber and infrastructure, constitutes democracy. It is not.
The last notable person to define democracy was Abe Lincoln, with his lyrical and concise "Government of the people, by the people and for the people." In contemporary terms, this means that the community, at all levels of size, formulates all policy; then to be implemented by the public service (administration/executive).
Note that this excludes: parliaments, politicians, representatives, voting, majorities, campaigns, policies, political parties, and so on. Ergo, the Elite are entirely cut out of the equation and thereby lose control.
No wonder they killed Lincoln.
The second miscomprehended element is 'capitalism'. Free trade is exploitative capitalism, "free" to repress and manipulate at will. But this is always said in an accent that implies 'private enterprise'.
In point of fact, in a genuine DEMOCRATIC MERITOCRACY, private enterprise can flourish, with only unacceptable impositions on the community prevented by government, whose actions are clearly mandated by the people through, not elections, but consensus protocols.
It is an actively hidden fact that humans are hard-wired to agree (watch them smile), and when everybody has access to the same information, consensus is invariably in the vicinity of 97%. Had we access to government policy, none of the evils plaguing humanity would have been permitted.
The third unrecognised element is 'population growth'. It is not "1,2,4". Human environments expert Buckminster Fuller dismantled this cherished belief back in the early 1960s. But the Australian demographic experience of 1949 to 1973 demonstrated the reality in real life.
Thanks to the intervention of trade unions, (aided also by building societies, veteran organisations, and the Churches... according to Donald Horne's 1964 "The Lucky Country"), every Australian worker had access to well-paid full-time jobs, paid annual leave, and paid sick leave. Every family had access to a new car and was able to purchase a family home, if they so chose.
Measurable poverty in Australia had to include seasonal workers, who invariably owned their own homes, to actually present a technical poverty sector on the vast famous Australian middle class bell curve.
Meanwhile, it was soon globally-recognised that when nations adopted an age pension, population growth went into reverse within 20 years. Insecurity is the driver of population growth. The Rothschilds and Rockefellers reject this because it renders their cherished return to medieval feudalism unnecessary and, in fact, psychotic.
Australia's (and NZ's) egalitarian prosperity could not be tolerated and, in 1975, the "democratically elected Whitlam Government" was sacked by the CIA and MI6 and Australia has been run by the City of London and the Rockefeller Trilateral Commission ever since, with the catastrophic outcome the world now gazes at with horror. Unemployment is now 60% (as measured universally since 1893).
Both Marx and Malthus were wrong because they attempted to insert fond beliefs into the 'evidence plus evidence' equation. 'Beliefs' are the adoption of attitudes and positions DESPITE the evidence; a process we might better equate with insanity.
I'm impressed, Ken. Very well written..
