Having
learned classical and symbolic logic before continuing on to read
analytic philosophy and the philosophy of logic my point of view of
social political class consciousness issues tends I hope toward the
objective. If the point of democratic politics is to assure equal
protection of the law and the social and legal equality of all
citizens within secure borders then objective use of linguistic
criteria for class social references should be uninhibited by biases
of political correctness for or against particular social classes.
It
cannot be just the media and government that are free to liberally
employ racial class designators in political polls, census
demographics, various recruitment quotas and so forth. Ordinary
people and academics also need be free to be realistic in addressing
political class differentia if democracy is to defend the rights of
the citizens and fundamental rights of citizenship. If Muslim
terrorists target Germans or fellow Africans in death distribution
sprees for political and sectarian purposes for example, the racial
class object of wrath is meaningful to recognize for security
purposes.
If
objective political analysis is to function well to serve social
reality and purposes for equal protection of the law then racial
class consciousness terminology when used should be nondiscriminatory
regarding preferential treatment for any given class. Like Venn
diagrams with given set members that might be placed in any valid
position the world of political discourse will not be able to find
true analysis nor serve all citizens equally well if particular set
member terms are banned from use. If black class consciousness in
political movements like the 'black lives matter' movement of the
Obama administration are valid and socially acceptable then so must
'white history month' or 'news for Chinese people'.
These
terms must be regarded as valid class designators employed
phenomenally to advance the interests of members on given issues
comparable to set membership in a class action lawsuit rather than as
bigoted organization that should be repressed. The mildly editorial
and somewhat anonymous power of political correctness that suppresses
universal fair logical terminology for select social classes works
against the existence of an objective and even scientifically
rigorous political lexicon that can objectively consider the validity
of all social and political claims, assertions and expressions
without fear. In such a globally information rich era the failure to
be free to employ class designators objectively would create notable
gaps in efficient social analysis not to mention liberty.
Philosophy
as an objective social science employing logical parameters for
political analysis would create a modal Universe wherein all class
assertions might be quantified after expression in logical terms.
Claims of white class interest or black, brown or red could be placed
within nation-class boundaries as well as international boundaries
comprising classes for comparative and quantified analysis with a
variety of potential sub-class and macro-class elements added. Like
various sorts of physics and chemistry formulas that may while
remaining consistent with empirical rules creatively express new
propositions, social consciousness and socially unconscious class
values may be formalized for the purpose of discovering truth
regarding political power and the effectiveness of state intervention
to promote a fair and just social equilibrium.
The
citizens of a democracy in the modern world exist within a social
stasis with innumerable interactive 'future shock' factors of
communication. The expressions of power in the polity through mass
communications and indirectly through surveillance support the
usurpation of political power from the people unto concentrated and
faceless power. A partial antidote to that would be a return to the
strength of democracy in free speech without fear of being labeled a
user of hate speech or bigot for considering racial class and
directing news to particular targeted audiences objectively when it
is useful to do so. White Americans have as much natural right to
defend their class interests as blacks, browns and yellow Americans.
It is in the obscurantism through repression of class rights that
corruption cinches up gains of power and wealth from the masses. It
is in the failure to objectively consider real social and political
states of affairs that corrupt power redistributes wealth and power
toward imperial and global sinkholes.
A
healthy democracy defends in own borders more readily and well than
it pursues imperial global interests and supports conflicts abroad
with military and financial support for regime changes. It balances
its budget, has little or no public debt, supports a minimum income
for all citizens, health coverage for all without distributing
personal information abroad and is cognizant that the economy needs
to be adapted to be consistent with existential mass social well
being within a recovering ecosphere rich with wildlife and wild
regions. Objective political and social class analysis and free
expression cannot be restricted from objective use of real social
designators and classes when the real interests of the citizens are
quantitatively considered. People should not be frightened of the
truth, instead they should be informed bite it.
