Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva under fire
Filed Under Philosophical, Politics | Leave a Comment
In some blatantly slick advertisement the Sandorian Grove tells us about the Brazilian Prisidente, a man of the people, and how he is attacked by the ruling elite and how the latest attempt badly back fired.
I could not help teasing my good friend Max there with my remark about his blatant advertisement and started to write a comment pitching in my ideas about rulers in general. Half through that I realized that this subject would make a good post all by itself and so I copied all that here and just left a link at the Grove.
Here is what I had to say…
… I get an opportunity to spread the word of anarchy (not in the meaning of chaos but in the simple definition of stateless society): In our last election here in the US I actually did something very out-of-character – I campaigned. For Ron Paul, obviously. It was only later that I understood than there might well be a rule of the few over the many that is less burdensome or more just than another, but it is still the rule of the few over the many. All these will eventually end up being tyranny.
So, yes, I can see that it seems encouraging if an outsider beats the current ruling class, but eventually we will end up with the same whoever the ruler is initially. Here in the US we are the example standing it right in front of our eyes. Some 200+ years ago a group of renegades threw out the ruling class and established a new rule based on personal freedom. Yeah right! Now we know, at least those who can still look, that we just replaced the royal family with the wannabes that call themselves sometimes Esquire (doesn’t that sound like nobility?)
It is just amazing how the new ruling class modeled it’s system after the old – in scientology terms a dramatization.
- King v. Supreme Court Justice (they even kept the word ‘court’!)
- Barons v. Appeal’s Court Justices
and all the way down the the - Lords v. Small Claims Court Judges
And fear stayed the same as well – have you ever been served with a complaint by a member of the current ruling class? The same as being summoned by your Lord.
I don’t want to bitch about kings and justices, lawyers and Lords, though. I just want to turn your attention to the fact that any rule over the many by the few is the wrong path. What needs to be taught is that only voluntary interaction can lead to a free society – if you still want to call it that way. Know that you own yourself and don’t make any compromises in that department. Anybody who wants to tell you how to live your life is a suspect.
