Kings In Rags

The shepherds must be the purest of his kind, the sieve of the sublime touchstone will find the noblest, selfless, humble, ascetic wise men among the common mortals; the assemblage of these made up the Utopian Pantheon. Authority should be only given to people who are there to give service, assistance, hope and compassion, not command and display of control.

Capitalism must not condone unchecked, inordinate avarice, and hoarding of resources. Socialism must not condone unchecked, inordinate despotism, and rigidity of resource manipulation. We should not confuse capitalism with democracy, nor communism with autocracy. Have not the capitalists contain autocratic influence, or has there been no altruistic, and catholic communists?

Pharisaical democrats may not be less atheistic and animalistic as the ungodly communists, as the reverent and catholic may be as willing to share and care as the communists, with abhorrence against corrupted autocracy.

Some justify predatory capitalism as “free market”, the everlasting evolutionary law of survival of the fittest. In this present age of economic race on a pathologic pursuit for power and profit, we are revering raw, crude industrial powers. Corporation has become a symbol and value where such worship needs no further explanation or justification, not to mention a sense of shame to hide. It is blatantly a glorious and heroic thing to do. Whoever feed this economy well gets fed first, and who ever give a damn to those who dies or those who cries. Greed (kerdomeletia, plutomania: preoccupation with material wealth) has driven us senselessly and shamelessly insane.

The men who holds political titles in this great civilization, claims this empire as their own, and they made sure of that because it is their ego at stake. Politics of our current day knows no humanity in their governance.

All those seated in those pretentious conventions to do good for mankind, these men hoard power and authority, hide their incompetence within inflated speeches, ravage their own land. They are ever ready to flee in their family jets when the country is reduced to a dump. Where do our “noble” leaders place their dedication? In their over-paid and coveted multi-million-dollar salary! Not in welfare and mental soundness or happiness, or proper education of their own people; they fear the day they learn too much about the science of governance and got to smart to start questioning the state of affairs! But no, they don’t have to worry, today, they got you opiate in obscurantism, so much so that you can’t tell a difference between the democracy, autocracy, communism and socialism.

Equality will be most effectual when the rich are morally inhibited over the acquisition of material comforts and display of wealth, channeling these resources to the preservation of ecology and the elevation of human civilization. The poor should pledge their fealty to wise leadership and be stirred into improving the state of destitute, and the Argus-eyed watch over the realms against treacherous corruption.

We must listen to the thoughts of the wise, and feelings of the poor.

Predatory capitalism can degrade itself to a new form of despotism where corporations are the new high priests. - 2005-09.06

I guess .... if I want a civilization .... I have to build it myself. - 2012-12.27

Design yourself for the mission of peace, you may be instrumental to the realization of Utopia by starting with that. - 2007-08.26
