In the Absence of Post Cold War Political Philosophy

In the post cold-war world the change of political polities, political leadership and business, economic and military did not allow for much time for new political philosophies to emerge that would exist alongside the usual social criticisms of in the free west that influenced government policy formation to a certain extent. Instead the ‘new world order’ ideas of President George H.W. Bush (41) described the advantage certain global businesses would have in interacting with the security of American military insurance policies of constructive engagement with the communist entity in China and with the moderated chaos in the former Soviet Union. In time the political philosophy of corporatism united with a Chinese socialist move toward corporatist business would dominate de facto along with all the negative consequences that implies.

Globalists attempting to dominate world politics by design and corporatists seeking to compile political power and influence simultaneously with market domination may attack nationalism and democracy as obstacles to the eradication of democratic nationalism rooted within proprietary borders. Corporatists and authoritarians of all sorts prefer a global polity without real local self-determination or capacity to resist their will to absolute power.

In the modern world ad hoc global networks replace any need for the elimination of the security of local national political control. Global ad hoc networks assure that human and civil rights violations will be discovered and opposed by the global majority that in theory would still have some independence from corporatist, socialist, authoritarian or fascist global powers.
