RE: Fascism

"We have to hope more people understand what is happening in our country and more people want to prevent this from going further."

I recommend taking a bird's eye view of the world, because what is happening here is not happening in isolation. IMHO a global technocratic totalitarian tyranny is being imposed today. There are voluminous sources in which this globalist venture is advocated and supported by members of the various institutions (the WEF, UN, EU, Trilateral Commission, CFR, Bilderberg, Club of Rome, BRICs, ASEAN, OAS, etc.) that are working towards that goal. There are also a variety of secret societies, or those with obfuscated agendae, such as Skull and Bones, Masons, Rosicrucians, and many more, which all seem to be also intent on such development, from such historical record and whistleblowers as are available.

The extant polities of the world each have a unique set of features, strengths, and weaknesses that must be reckoned by them intent on incorporating all jurisdictions into their empire. Each polity is therefore being affected differently, in order to coordinate temporally in all of them the required conditions for incorporation within the whole. When these polities crash early, the risk of fresh, new institutions arising without the mature infestation of corruption that is the covert hand of the globalists, creates regional islands of resistance to the global conquest, and too many of them will prevent it from succeeding.

I completely agree with your appreciation for facts as opposed to opinions. Everyone forms their opinions, but few drill down to the factual foundation in order to form them. My grasp of Fascism exemplifies this, as my familiarity with Gentile was minimal, and my entire understanding, my opinion, was based on the one fact I knew, and the supporting opinions I read.

I have the opinion that a particular fact I am aware of is central to your expressed interest and concern. It is the lifespan of political institutions. Sir John Bagot Glubb wrote The Fate of Empire and Search for Survival ~20 pages discussing his research across 5000 years of history that revealed polities endure ~250 years. Imperial polities, at least. Historical evidence of lesser jurisdictions isn't well preserved over such scales. We may agree that the USA is an empire, and that it is today 249 years old.

The historical record suggests that the reason for the lifespan of polities is both ubiquitous and inexorable. Regardless of the form of institution government takes, regardless of the brilliance of it's statesmen or their courage and ambition, all senesce and die in about 10 generations.

Because of this I suspect there isn't much point in attempting to prevent it. But, that means there is enormous potential and reason to shape what comes after it. I personally understand the Lockean basis for human rights and how that pertains to political organization and power, which opposes me viscerally to tyranny. Further, additional research into imperial collapse and it's consequences in the Americas suggests that there is an inverse relationship to institutional political power and societal comity.

"Thos. Jefferson said 'It is the polity of the Indians [Native Americans] I admire most, because there is the least of it.' Centuries before Jefferson cut his milk teeth complex civilization with vast imperial polities had collapsed across the Americas. ~1000 AD all the civil societies of the Americas are shown by the archaeological record to have suffered sudden decline and population collapse, exactly the worst consequences of the senescence of empire that has become the central power of a civil society upon which persistence of the blessings of civilization has become wholly dependent. 5 centuries later, the civil societies that emerged after that apocalypse were subjected to serial plagues introduced by European conquistadors and soldiers of fortune, and this decimated the surviving societies across the Americas, reducing their population by >98%, all but eradicating their histories, cultures, and traditions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Amazon to Alaska.

"What remained of Native American empires were free men that had little political power, and suffered almost no institutional controls, in societies that had been reduced to the most primitive Stone age technology dependent on manual labor, without beasts of burden or sophisticated agriculture, the knowledge of which had died with their forebears.

"This is the fruit a global technocratic totalitarian tyranny, now being imposed by Machiavellian narcissistic psychopaths on the world, will sow."

Because we have almost no historical record from American civilization, we have acquired such information via the archaeological record, which unlike history is factually demonstrable.

Polities are created to defend civilization, to support a given culture and people whose enjoyment of civil society is challenged by intrasocietal and intersocietal competition, amongst other things. My observation is that relatively egalitarian cultures in which political institutions are less consequential, such as the Scythians, endure and maintain civil society best, while the more powerful political institutions become, the weaker and less durable civil society is, such that collapse of great empires is occasioned by genocidal population decline and loss of culture.

Because I also observe the sudden emergence of decentralization of means of production as the cutting edge of tech advance across every field of industry, I see that humanity is transcending a clinal boundary that deprecates centralization, and will eschew powerful institutions as a result. By preventing the successful imposition of a global technocratic totalitarian tyranny, I believe we will avoid centuries of suffering and create a free society of inconceivable prosperity with a decentralized economy with the most advanced technology.

This is what I seek to enable my local community to do, and what preventing America from being incorporated into, or incorporating, a global tyranny also will do. But simply preventing a global tyranny will not enable civil society to enjoy prosperity and endure, if communities are overpowered by institutions and polities. That requires employing decentralized means of production and decentralizing economic power, supporting merit and avoiding dependence on centralized institutions. Dark triad Machiavellian ambition requires powerful centralized institutions, while preventing subjugation to overlords will best be achieved by decentralization and production of the blessings of civilization such as food, fuel, power, and comms locally so that famine and shortages can't extort populations. Robust civil society must decentralize economic power, so it is dispersed and not concentrated in institutions that aggrandize ambition.
