Maybe one should ask what 'saving the world' means in a given context. If the wicked want to victimize others, and the saved have no interest in victimizing anyone then it is plain that the meek need go to heaven and the wicked someplace else such as eternal hell. The people in hell would victimize each other in hell and may hate those in heaven yearning to victimize them. Further, the 'world' someplace in the Universe far from the exact center may be depleted of life because of mass extinctions and global warming and is empty, while some capitalists in hell want to spend the world ransoming it to get themselves bailed out of hell. Maybe some communists believe saving the world would mean enslaving everyone or like the Khymer Rouge deleting intellectuals. and that it is necessary that everyone must get stoned.
I like Hegel quite a lot. The 'Realms of Absolute Spirit' if I recall correctly is a kind of summary of the 'Phenomenology of Mind'. Some might like the idea of the Spirit coming to evolve itself to realization in history, yet the notion of a two-part dialectical evolution seems rather quaint today with quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. I.M.O. God or Spirit is eternal rather than temporal. He issues the Higgs Field rather than becoming created himself within it.
Wave-particle duality hasn't much to do with Hegel I think. It is possible to regard Spirit as the Author of the Higgs Field of course. GWF Hegel is somewhat removed from that context however. The Higgs Field has two-dimensional energy that can be phenomenally entangled so it appears to slow down to sub-light speed and have mass. One might consider Hegel's paradigm with Plotinus and the Intelligence though (from the Enneads or 54 Tractates) in that neo-Platonist paradigm.
There are many interesting historical researches going on
today in addition to cosmology that provide much
information to consider for Christian philosophers and the thoughtful. I think
it is the case that some established church authorities have sought to freeze
various structures in place because the contemporary dogmatics support the
economic positions of the authorities and that can lead to schisms and reform
such as that Protestants established in the 1500s.
There is repression of Christians in China.It may be possible that Chinese authorities may be concerned with pre-trib eschatology as well as social and economic power. Pre-tribbers believe the world is approaching doom and they will be raptured out of it, while post-tribbers such as myself tend to believe the apocalypse of the New Testament occurred in the first century A.D. culminating in the fall of Jerusalem and the Temple and that this is an era to build up the Kingdom of God.
Secular authorities including communists always want to build up their own power about as far as they can. One need be inventive to liberate oneself and society generally from repressive ruling power when it is not useful for social progress. I believe a Priesthood of Believers reform is necessary to maximize evangelical and ecclesiastical benefit from the New Testament. During the pre-literate, feudal era a more commercial or pro-priestly class of superior Christians was perhaps necessary to let the peasants learn the gospel, yet that is quite ineffective and almost counterproductive today with mass literacy and mass communication. Commercial priests tend to resemble small business guys primarily interested in their own economic situation receiving tithes. I think a Priesthood of Believers church structure were all share small-group liturgical roles would benefit western Christians and be non-threatening to communist authorities too.
Chinese rulers are probably mindful of the Taiping Rebellion led by a Christian who believed he literally was Christ's brother. Ten million were killed in the Taiping Rebellion. Poor theological understanding can lead to conflict. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-19977188
I took a philosophy course or two from a fellow who had a degree in anthropology too. His desk for years had a copy of Barret's book 'Irrational Man' on it. There are other contexts for rationality than the standard apparently at least in regard to social structure. If one reads Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason' one may discover that it is possible to view social behavior something like ant hive behavior. Then the question arises do the ants think about what they are doing as a species applying mass production where it ought to be limited and selected more carefully, really (e.g. mass species extinction, global warming, mobile wheelchair fossil fuel engine society)? https://www.secondsale.com/i/irrational-man-a-study-in-existential-philosophy/9780385031387?gclid=CjwKCAiArIH_BRB2EiwALfbH1DS3ExaMd9xuyqazDYXhEp3lXZK_VvgXvyn3MEZ_sP0W8ql6jGzEUhoCUKEQAvD_BwE
I have learned more about the history of the first
civilization over time in Summer (southern Mesopotamia). Abraham was from the
city of Ur. Summer was established circa 5400 b.c. so it was an old
civilization by the time he got the call from God to exodus about 2100 b.c.
That was a period when Summer-Akkad was in the final throes of its span and a
good time for Abraham to leave.
Abraham and family journeyed northwest Syria and over to Israel or Canaan. That region was between the two great early
civilization of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Learning that some of the information
Abraham brought to Israel with him from Ur where he probably worked as a scribe
has similar paradigmatic concurrence with ancient Sumerian data such as the
flood during the end of the Wisconsin ice age should not be troubling to
Christians. Instead they should be thankful that Abraham brought the truth with
him.
Maybe the new vaccine will
defeat the new strain of the Covid 19 virus. One hopes so. The new British
version of Covid 19 (is it Covid 20) that is easier to catch has appeared with
a terrorists timing just after the start of vaccines against Covid 19. Like a
terrorist that bombs someplace saving a second device to use when first
responders arrive, the new version of Covid 19 has appeared after a year
developing a vaccine for the virus that has killed about 320 million Americans. If new lethal versions of the bat shit virus appear as commonly as common colds it may require so sort of new protocol to adapt human life and economic procedures.
The Trump administration set
a precedent for dealing with the virus that should not be followed by future
administrations. It fundamentally let the virus rage and citizens die while
waiting for a vaccine to develop. What was needed was an effort to let the
economy work and people stay alive together while vaccines were developed
though innovation. At the least some sort of infection preventing head gear
should have been invented and distributed.
A policy to just let people
die while waiting for a vaccine to develop isn’t something to emulate
politically. If a more lethal disease ever arrives the lack of capacity for the
nation to survive seems substantial. In an era with vast biological and
computational research that would support production of criminal synthesis of
designer weaponized viruses political players should have more realistic plans
for national defense to viral vectors of biological death.
Since the
discovery in 2012 of the Higgs boson and confirmation of the existence of the
Higgs field a lot of work has gone into producing popular explanations of what
the Higgs Field is and how it supports the existence of the mass. Metaphysics
could be said to be the physics that one doesn’t know. For me the Higgs Field
and the way it supports the apparent existence of mass was and remains mostly
metaphysics while for some physicists it is less so. There is a video a couple
minutes in length that summarizes how the Higgs Field works to produce the
appearance that mass exists.
Photons and
other particles of a class called bosons are massless. Photons are the force
carrying particles of the electro-magnetic field. There is a duality of
articles as waves. A particle might be said to be like the peak of a wave where
strength is greatest when observed. Sub-atomic particles acquire mass and
existence simply through bouncing around or being slowed down in the Higgs Field
from a massless speed of light condition to a slower than light condition with
mass created with the acquisition of a third dimension from relativistic
effects instead of thetwo-dimensional
condition of massless particle-waves.
Mass is an
apparent state of massless particleslocked into a steady state of slower-than light being observed by
sentient beings like humans embedded in the somewhat illusory or virtual mass
of the Higgs Field. I have wondered why gravity also travels at the speed of
light- it is the standard speed or normal condition of massless particles, and
the answer may be that gravity attracting mass is also an illusory or secondary
characteristic of mass existing as a secondary or contingent element within the
Higgs Field and that also raises the question of the curvature of space with
mass as in the general theory of relativity.
It is likely
that several very complex cosmology issues have very simple explanations when
they understood.One might ask what
came first; the Higgs Field or the Universe? Since the Universe is simply mass
that seems to exist in the Higgs Field and the Higgs Field encompasses all of
known space the Higgs Field seems primary with all of its contingent and
secondary apparent qualities of mass, space and time occurring within it.
What is the
Higgs Field in-itself? Field theories account for things like the
electro-magnetic field, what empowers the Higgs? The Higgs could exist like a
dendrite with information in it between two neurons of God; it really is metaphysics
to me. Creating a virtual Universe with
virtual space, virtual gravity, virtual mass and virtual time (itself within
relativistic criteria) within a Higgs Field possibly of two dimensional energy
seems greater than just adding water to a packet of instanverse. The Higgs
energy and energy for-itself are just about imponderable. One may discern the
effects yet not the energy-as-itself. That may be the prime mover as it were.
In human
history there is a story of Sargon being found as an infant floating in a reed
basket and taken to the Akkadian court where he was raised andbecame the greatest warrior and king of the
bronze age debatably.He unified the
Summerian-Akkadian civilization under the rule of the Akkadians for a change.
Moses arrived in a similar way and nearly ruled Egypt as a prince before
leading the Israelis from captivity in a similar fashion. The boy in a basket
story may be something like the stork method of accounting for arrival for
superior warrior-political leaders in ancient history- a simple yet effective
lead-in to the salient facts. The apparent characteristics of mass, gravity and
space-time observed from within may eventually have simple explanations when
another Einstein rolls down the river of time.
The U.S. Government doesn't 'hack' into telephonic communications anywhere without a good reason, and the American broadcast media never listens in to cell phone communications. Neither has Facebook or Google ever rigged or hacked emails or chatrooms nor have their employees ever rigged search results or skimmed earnings from bloggers. Unlike the Russian Government the U.S.A. only does defensive hacking for self-defense purposes; never anything offensive or splicing like in to trans-Atlantic broadband cables under the oceans or elsewhere. Apparently the U.S. DOD Cyber Warfare team may have planted malware in the Russia electrical grid yet if they did that was probably a charitable effort to increase its efficiency and was misunderstood by nandering naybobs of negativism.
Dick Durbin has expressed a broad Wall- Street sentiment to marginalize Russia even before the new, honest Biden administration takes office. The President elect has explained convincingly that his brilliant son Hunter is a victim of political opponents trying to get to him. There obviously was no chance that Ukrainian entrepreneurs were trying to get to him for influence and military supplies to war eastward on traditional Russian lands. The $400,000 of undeclared income from Burisma in Ukraine for expert advice from someone without any experience might have put President's Trump 2016 campaign designer Paul Manafort in jail perhaps, yet Manafort was guilty of packaging Mr. Trump properly to win, unlike 2020 when he was finally nabbed by the Mueller Investigation.
Plainly Republicans may seek their own Jerry Nadler to nail President Biden with high crimes and misdemeanors if they can win the House in 2022. In my opinion what is obvious- even more than a Pompeo win over President Biden in 2024, is the problem of Americans seeking antipathetic relations with Russia for short-term Wall Street proplits presenting great long-term externalities of lost opportunities to the United States. Seeking amicable relations requires intellect Democrats lack. With a strong Russian integration into western economies defense costs and threats to the United States will be far less than with Russia forced to ally itself more with China and various anti-American global alternative actors. China requires U.S. investors to surrender to Chinese owners 51% of the stock of any corporation doing business there. Russians may offer a better deal for U.S. investors. Its good to get in on the ground floor sometimes.
There are some that feel Capitalism unto enslavement of the masses for their own good is the only alternative to socialism and communist dystopia. Actually there is democracy and egalitarian free enterprise with intelligent ecological economic political economics as a middle ground that is more feasible for human survival on Earth- if that is a concern to some.
Someone wrote that U.S. politics has become dominated by emotion instead of reason and that plainly seems true i.m.o. Best one can hope for is a Pompeo vs Biden 2024 race and Biden loses, then in 2028 it will be Pompeo vs. Harris and the latter may win. I would like a candidate with a degree in Ecological Economics with a semblance of classical political pragmatism regarding a democracy, yet that is as unlikely to happen as a million dollar per citizen stimulus check. I ran across a good quote in a book I read recently; "The truth is treason in an empire of lies".
Is the ocean one thing or a word describing countless (though finite in number) molecules of H2O? The question of monism and pluralism is fundamental concerning everything that exists, and of events and processes, therefore it was a common concern of pre-Socratic philosophers not simply because they might have shared the issue once it was thought of by a single individual. Parmenides and Heraclitus approached the problem of monism and pluralism from different yet not antipathetic points of view. In that regard they share a concern that hasn't been terminated as worthy of inquiry from fields as diverse as quantum mechanics, Multiverse theory and perception. Compound objects composed of numerous parts in solid objects and sub-atomic particles entangled in three dimensions with the Higgs field reflect the one and the issue as do organic beings.
One might wonder what logic is and how it exists in relation to epistemology. It is also possible to ask if logic is static or if it is subject to relativity (as reshaped by spatial deformation vis Einstein's General Theory for example). If logic is recognition of relationships among objects or ideas as objects then it could be that logic is a kind of pattern recognition with which one may process information and make extrapolations from a given position concerning a series as in math theory or mathematical metaphysics.- If one is looking for a consistence in logic, that would be a necessary consistence of relations and patterns, shapes and occurrences that would comprise a system of logic. It is therefor challenging to say that logic is inflexible or must be regarding certain relations that must transcend particular logical systems and need be present in every logic system.-Because the issue becomes a little obtuse I shall leave it here for the present with the observation or agreement with a point made above concerning the utility of valid logic within a given system of logic rather than considering a Universal logic, though the Universe itself materially as particles embedded in a Higgs Field apparently seems to have a logical structure for everything in it at the quantum level.
One may have classical logic-Aristotelian logic and move through history to Leibnitz's mathematical logic, Frege and modern symbolic logic and onward to deontic , modal and other new logic systems. Maybe the proliferation of systems of logic supports the concept of logic as a formal system for representing abstract relations of fact and fiction useful for inductive as well as deductive reasoning.
When the Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to Barrack Obama people were surprised since he hadn't done anything yet besides being black and elected. It turned out during his terms of office that he would have better deserved a Nobel War Prize that even his speech acknowledged. Donald Trump actually deserves a Peace Prize for his excellence at bringing four Arab nations to sign off with diplomatic relations with Israel. What is inexplicable is how someone able to bring off a diplomatic coup that wasn't accomplished since Egypt did in return for the Sinai acts like a spoilt punky billionaire following his re-election defeat. To this time he is still in denial claiming he was cheated.
President-elect Biden is a threat to turn back salutary Middle East developments and that should be a concern for national politics. He may also return to stepped up hostility with Russia in order to make Hunter Biden's Ukrainian pay-masters happy and persuaded that their real estate interests are swelling. president Trump should be awarded a Nobel for his Middle East work next year even if the Biden administration is more to Sweden's liking politically.
The Republican Party may have a problem former President trying to be in the spotlight for a few years more as a kind of never-goes-away Clintonesque figure. He is the best chance the Biden administration has for winning re-election in 2024. If Sect. Pompeo or some other fellow with capability is the party nominee Republicans might actually retake the White House.
Special interests have taken over the U.S.A. and
government of the nation. A special interest in regard to the founding
parameters of the United States could be regarded as an interest or organization limited to just some of the citizens
all of the time. Today virtually any corporation, church denomination, civic
and social organization, fort profit and non-profit business could rightly be
considered to be a special interest in regard to federal legislation. The
federal stimulus conundrum that cannot get passed because of partisan wrangling
about special interests rather than those of all U.S. citizens this year drew
my attention.
Free federal dollars flow to special interest citizens and aliens rather than to all citizens equally- that helps establish corporatism and its socialist junior partner.
Today is Sunday so I will write something
concerning church structure as an upgradable special interest (that doesn’t
require federal bail-outs). When the U.S.A. was founded there were no
corporations in the nation and far fewer special interests seeking to benefit
from preferred federal legislation transferring money to them. The Hudson Bay
Company and East India Company were the two entities that most closely
resembled corporations in North America and India respectively. The Catholic
Church in the U.S.A. might be thought of as the largest corporate structure in the
U.S.A. of that era. Church structures might be thought of as having ossified in
forms created during or before the reformation era circa 1500-1600 with church
pastors of Protestant churches shepherding ecclesiastic formations adapted to
village life of illiterate peasants. In the United States presently there
actually are few places like that. Another reform to place Christians on a
level ground sharing liturgical tasks in small groups within a Priesthood of
Believers would be more appropriate. A national work-credit and job bank with
attendance and participation records, referrals and sharing could keep all
Christians active, evangelical and free of certain emergency medical and
financial troubles.
Special
interest legislation and/or end-times theology along with anachronistic
clerical forms can take Christians fairly from meaningful participation in
Democracy and accurate Biblical hermeneutics. A wrong understanding of the
constitution of the U.S.A. and founding democratic principles can lead
politicians to seek legislation that benefits corporations and busy-ness as a
special interest prioritized above that of common citizens of the United
States. Legislators wrangle over how to benefit people that own corporations
and other busy-ness activity instead of all of the people of the United States
during the pandemic. Real shareholders own corporations hence the U.S.
Government has no legitimate right to transfer wealth to them instead of every
citizen of the United States equally if it chooses to give away money normally
or during an emergency for relief. Competition in a free enterprise environment
isn’t supposed to end when it becomes tough for the established whereat the
government will bail out the prosperous and/or filthy rich. Corporations are
special interests that politically incompetent legislators have learned to
worship. Actually citizen busyness and free enterprise could develop in
innumerable other forms; it wasn’t necessary to evolve Wall Street monopoly of
busyness and over government.
In Washington D.C. politicians and pundits
generally have forgotten that the people of the nation who own the nation
politically in a manner of speaking are everyone rather than special interests
named corporations. To send federal money as grants or loans to special
collectives of people; to favor select persons as special interests of congress
above that of the people of the United States is to support and ossify a
particular non-democratic approach to governance that does in effect changes
democracy into corporatism, oligarchy or plutonomy. Some socialist like the
corporate approach because it does annihilate the principle of individual
sovereignty and free enterprise in favor of corporate enterprise and other
forms of mass collective business that readily morphs into socialism through a
number of means. There is a false dialectic emitted from each side that has
corporatism vs. socialism rather than corporatism and socialism as collective
entities versus democracy, individualism and national sovereignty with secure
borders. Corporatists and socialists are globalists that run roughshod over national
boundaries.
In the
Internet era corporate hegemony allows self-tightening consolidation of wealth
and power to plutocrat-led corporations. Every written communication can be
scanned by insiders and a percent or all financial value harvested/skimmed from
the work of everyone utilizing the ubiquitous corporate internet sites. With
the U.S. Government ordinarily transferring wealth to large banks with zero or
very low interest loans that lets those banks owned by Plutocrats
electronically mint five times the amount loaned to loan out or invest
themselves ordinary citizen free enterprise become as laughably non-competitive
as laborers are to international dope traffickers who can afford to buy the
business they labor for. The sole advantage of under-the-table illegal alien
labor is that they can at least find work outside direct corporate employment
yet. Corporate networks can ban any individual inconvenient from their optimal
profit narratives they choose to.
Corporations
as special interests and their CEO’s attract a common kind of individual
worker-tool seeking money and power. Like herbivores attracted by thirst to a
water-hole along their own route, corporate leadership share the same goals and
exploit similar methods to subjugate and harvest profit from every empirical
facticity within their power- hence they expand their power and wealth with
insatiable drive. That has a very dampening effect upon individual citizen free
enterprise and liberty to express dissenting personal opinions on-line without
reprisal.
The U.S. Senate is letting
the 2nd Covid emergency relief bill die for partisan reasons. The
Senate leaders seek partisan advantages and cannot agree to let that go and
simply pass a plain cash stimulus check to Americans to use presently.
Senator McConnell wants to
give blanket immunity too corporations from Covid 19 lawsuits. Instead of concern
for cash-strapped citizens that need cash today he cares about corporations and
corporate profits next year.
Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi care more
for funding their vast left-wing state governments and funding deficits than for
ordinary citizens of the U.S.A. even in their own states. The best simple
compromise is to pass immediate $2400 cash relief stimulus checks for all
Americans let Senate and House leaders clash over their special interests with
mace, swords and shields of rhetoric after Christmas. A third Wilder-Fury fight
or a Joshua-Fury or Wilder-Fury battle have been put off; what should not be
put off is immediate cash relief for the poor and middle class that need pay
rent, pay for classes or fund tooth extractions. I recently heard an elder
gentleman trying to get a loan to pay for an elder brother’s covid 19
hospitalization; apparently he lacked free Bethesda hospitalization.
What should matter now are
the people of the United States. It’s their federal government; special
interests can wait. New York can freeze rent payments for police and firemen.
California can ditto that. State employees then can work for half-pay.
Corporations can suck an egg on immunity from criminal action during the Covid
19 crisis...
Basically there are two kinds
of people in the world; those that want power over others and those that don’t.
Politicians tend to want power and reform is an issue that puts them in the
spotlight for a term or two without actually needing to get anything meaningfully
done. Police reform to protect the public from police as well as criminalsis growingin popularity since the tradition of urban riots by blacks whose lives
matter have discovered the police seem to serve the non-blackpopulation moreso than themselves. Defunding police has been
held to be an effective way to halt police interference with black sin cities,
some of who are alleged to perpetrate crimes.
I believe there are numerous ways to regard and interpret history. Historical analysis that is accurate and useful as well as comprehensive is requisite for determining how to correctly address an issue and act upon it to bring it toward a desirable state of affairs. There is a fundamentally correct comprehensive analysis and several proprietary and fragmented and possible true perspectives that are insufficiently comprehensive for basic application to correct an issue. Police it should be noted
worked with some harshness in some cities before the era of large scale black
neo-integration in schools and so forth. In somewhat segregated areas crimes
did apparently exist that stimulated the non-black public desire for effective
police. Police corruption in those circumstances tended to revolve around
insider economic crimes when they occurred.
It does seem that there is a
conflation of race identity politics and economic concerns with police acting
for-themselves inappropriately. Police force is regarded by some apparently as
a de facto segregation mechanism and by others as a defense line of protection
from young savage hordes. Obviously police have a civil function that has
awkwardly discovered itself in the midst of historically evolving racial
demographics and economics politics on the front line as it were. What can be
done to allow traditional civil police functions to continue in cities where
contentious political restiveness makes them appear as a political antagonist?
Traditionally analysts have
espoused racial integration of police as a remedy to racial enmity.
Realistically though with the breakdown in trust in police and politics and
rise of communication I would guess that technology and privatization
augmenting police law enforcement as well as integration of internet broadband
communication and public participation is likely to develop slowly. That is,
drones, robots and public participatory oversight of police work will grow to
enhancement and follow police tracking of criminal and suspected criminal
activity.
I am not saying that
contracts to the Interrogation and Death Corporation robotic division will
clear the streets with Robocop; simply that Sally’s On-Line Security service
will field insect drones to buzz around police cars and hives and follow
criminals about dark city streets and into dens of iniquity when the lawful
need arises. Something like that will comprise police reform as public
participation in police work and evidence gathering in non-traditional
technological ways arises.
Some will be concerned about corporate
takeover of law enforcement and the nation, and that is well taken. If the
Department of Dense has a Four-star General who can upgrade to Dictator for a
Year should need arise as did Roman Empire Consuls during time of war, who is
able to return fire for fire and Sarin-dippitze foe nerve agent communicators,
that would be keeping in line with the trend toward national corporatist
governance aided and abetted by communist collectivist leadership and 1%
plutocrats in the U.S.A. and ironically, in China. Godless atheist leadership
in crowded demographics leads to certain forms of social interaction that are
more or less problematic when people are unintellectual worker sex-tools and drones
bereft of nuclear families developmentally speaking. Scientists at some point
tend to find the one degree of elimination of surplus undesirable population
for scientific reasons so the world may be saved. Less than a cuddly scenario
of course, so Democrats may seek some other Draconian and repressive way to
bring utopia to the world during the Anthropocene mass extinction phenomenon.
Hell wasn’t built in a day, so effectively stupid governance takes many
generations of politicians and broadcast slut-media-sewers to fructify hell on
Earth before survivors can flee to Mars and elsewhere.
There are innumerable
political viewpoints in the U.S.A. today without comprehensiveness that are
often in contradiction or conflict with others. Maybe 3% of political
world-views are valid and would be effective if promoted, and the rest are
simply varying degrees of incorrectness. Luckily for Americans political
grading is done on the curve so even failing ideas and work can rise to the top
as major party content platforms as they have with bi-partisan success. Police
reform ineffectiveness is just one of many planks of contemporary political
platforms with a good rate of disfunction.
Two models and goals for
police structure seem to exist in the present context of reformed structure and
traditional structure. ‘The Art of War’, I believe it was if I recall the book
I read decades ago, mentions interior and exterior lines for attackers and
defenders. ‘The Art of Reasoning’ informs us about classical and symbolic
logic. Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ might have suggested, if the modern political
environment and broadcast media had existed in his day, of the logical value of
fast transition of exterior and exterior lines reversing roles of attackers and
defenders, The reformed model of the Democrat Party and non-white ideal would
end the perceived defense of white people as a majority party by police
departments. Policing could be flip-flopped to change their role from one
defending white controllers on interior lines to one of attacking dwindling
whites from exterior lines of black and minority based community policing.
A new reformed law enforcement agency would be
community-based while the existing police departments would be defunded and
eliminated largely. A similar paradigm for reform existed in pre-war nazifying
Germany when under Hitler’s leadership the brown shirts of the national
socialist party took over society. Local police department constables at some
stage needed to stand aside to let the new political and social facticty of
change take charge. Brown shirts or storm troopers could enforce the political
will and decide in a fresh paradigm who the real public enemies are. The
broadcast media would easily inform the public of what worked and what did not.
The broadcast media has great offensive and defensive political power and
returns periodically or partially to its role of enforcing political will to
power.
Eliminating police
departments in the United States so a more Democrat Party led law enforcement
structure can take control would not exactly duplicate Hitler’s model although
there are obvious similarities. Community based police models could include
mafiosa enforcement agents and mass public disarmament to render political
opponents easier to subjugate. As in the former Soviet Union criminal activity
by non-state actors would be very low. The public internal security forces
strengthen to such an extreme that dissent becomes unfeasible.
If two models for police
structure exist in the United States today- traditional and Nazi, they would
require a segregated civil structure if each were to exist simultaneously with
traditionalists in white communities and tribal mafiosa-goon Democrat thugs
under bosses innon-white communities.
Unfortunately, or luckily as one may regard it, the economy of the United
States is not designed to be racially segregated. It is somewhat amusing to
consider the impracticalities of segregating products and services along racial
lines in America with Wal-mart using different personnel to deliver black soap
to black neighborhoods and white soap to white neighborhood etc. Amazon could
use drones to deliver to all areas of course since machines are racial only in
a nuts and bolts sort of way, and it might be possible to stop taxing products
purchased from the internet so local manufacture of high-tech products in rural
Alaska for example won’t face unfair competition from products made in China or
white neighborhood colleges like M.I.T. Basketball and football would require
separate leagues and audiences only of appropriate race with television
commercials directed to appropriate viewers. Federal oversight of Wall- Street
would require special black and white law enforcement with community police
mafia on one side and traditional law enforcement structure on the other with
each working only to secure corporate behavior of the apposite race. It seems
rather expensive and corrupt actually.
President Lincoln didn't include Maryland and other border states in his Emancipation proclamation. It took a third Maryland constitution years later to free the slaves. That interesting fact is useful here because it is part of the problem of displaced former slaves after the war thrown into homelessness en mass usually without a legal right to inhabit their former plantations. As a northerner during school before college long ago learning technical details of mass black homelessness after the civil war didn't occur. There were few blacks in the Pacific Northwest until the Second World War. School kids learned generalities of U.S. history and state history (Washington state for my experience). I took a world civilization course too. Three history course at a high school level is pretty shallow actually.
William Grose was the first black businessman in Seattle. Yet it wasn't until the federal government needed military support personnel in the war with Japan that many blacks moved to the Pacific Northwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Grose_(black_Seattle_pioneer)
The two small cities I grew up in had no blacks not because of segregation-simply because none had moved in large numbers that far from the south, and race riots didn't exist even until after the Vietnam War by which time there was a substantial black population in large cities. Researching the black city migrations and rioting development as a topic would need to wait until opportunity arose for graduate research.
Since I am dead reckoning history here I will say that I am interested in the mass relocation of former slaves after the war. It is well known that many went on an exodus to northern cities creating the problem persisting to this time of mostly black urban ghettos and/or aka challenged neighborhoods and educational facilities, and in some a legacy of neo-apartheid with legally segregated housing such as in Baltimore that persisted for some time.
In my opinion the entire phenomenon could have been nipped in the bud immediately after the war if the vast plantations that formerly sheltered black slaves were cut up into chunks of a few acres and redistributed to the former slaves who certainly had a fair claim to own the land rather than their former masters- or at least equally. It is one of the sad missed opportunities of history that many slaves after the war were legally landless people. Homelessness can be very challenging to get out of.
Apparently some plantation owners did give some land to the former slaves. Some of that was sharecropping that wasn't too far removed from slavery. Yet much land did remain with the families of plantation slavers; and that stimulated movements such as the clan seeking to perpetuate race-based economic advantages across the south with logical inertia.
If all of the former slaves were given 5 acres of real estate to own at the in 1866 it is possible that development and race relations of the United States would have been quite different.
