The Oligarchy Is Specifically Oligarchical Collectivism
It’s been determined through an extensive study conducted by Princeton University that the United States is an oligarchy. In fact, the United States is more accurately oligarchical collectivist. The United States and most of the world’s institutuions for that matter, are all oligarchical collectvist. A series of oligarchies formed in collectvist fashion, like a pyramid system so as to make gain and maintain control of their oligarchy within the status quo of the oligarchical collectivsm, the pyramid system.
Throughout recorded time, and probably since the beginning of the Neolithic Age, there have been four kinds of people in the world, the idiots, zealots, elitists and patriots. They have been subdivided in many ways, they have borne countless different names and their relative numbers, as well as their attitude toward one another, have varied slightly from age to age, but the essential structure of society has never altered. Even after enormous upheavals and irrevocable changes, the same pattern has always reasserted itself, just as gravity sets equilibrium, however pushed one way or another.
The aims of the four groups are entirely reconcilable. Their behaviors are dissimilar, but their differences fit together. Idiots refuse information, zealots refute information, elitists misuse information and patriots distribute information. Despite dramatic alterations in the world and occasional fluctuations of people from one group to another, the shape of society, the formation of the groups remains the same, just as planetary gravity shapes globes.
Idiots avoid all new pertinent information in order to maintain perspective. Zealots ask certain questions of certain information, ignoring unaligned information in order to maintain perspective. Elitists question information in order to manipulate and reap gains off of those without information. Patriots question information to educate themselves and share it with others in order to progress.
The characterizations are general, but ancient and accurate as well. All people, in all of history and today can be fairly understood according to how they interact with information. The way in which people react to new information is the primal and realistically only legitimate guideline to understanding people. Any other labeling of people is at best secondary and often inaccurate or completely absurd. Historically people have been labeled and judged based on various descriptions and assumptions and rarely according to how they think.
History contains important information, recent and ancient events contain valuable perspectives. Despite countless paradigms between a given event and the present, history provides insight and lesson. It is tremendously important to dig around established facts, to seek new information, as in archeology, in order to better understand the past and present. It is equally important not to take theory as fact and to question the delivery of said facts. The distant past is always more difficult to decipher and more easily mixed up than recent occurrences.
The events of September 11, 2001 inspired him to write his first book, The Complete Patriot’s Guide to Oligarchical Collectivism, an insightful exploration of history, philosophy and contemporary politics. It is currently on sale as ebook. Please support independent art and journalism.
