Times are scarey.  Halloween will be light divergence from this slow trudge towards tyranny.

Little ol' me is here by myself observing the show.  We have five major forces at play today.  The conventional wisdom says there is always two at play.  Democrat or Republican.  Liberal or Conservative.  Good or Evil.  Bah.  It is part of the theatre..  Many have found that the best way to reduce competition for power is to reduce the number of competitors.  It is best to keep the competitive ideas away from the stage.

There are five major forces in politics.

1) The Corporatists.  People believe that the best way to run the country is through supporting big business.  The bigger the better.  We need to give advantages to this segment of society as they are important.  Big dollars for political campaigns come from here.  They are the wealthy of our society, our royalty.  This group is protected.   Some think this is the free market.  Not hardly.  Corporatists are dominating politics.

2) The Socialists.  These are the people who do not like corporatists.  They mistakenly think corporatism and the free market are one and the same.  They think that the lowest level of economic standing should be getting the advantages and freebies instead of big business.  This group has an increasing influence on our politics.  Many are turning towards this as a means to get their share of the dominant big government.

3)The Theocrats. These people think we have gone all wrong because we are not following their religion's morals. This basic theocratic ideology is mixed with corporatism or socialism as long as it incorporates their religious agendas. 4)The Apathetic. The common trait of this group is that they pay no to little attention to the political process. They do not know that there are issues. At best they have a superficial knowledge of issues. They choose to not vote, vote based on main stream media advertising or main street media news, vote for one party, vote for personality, vote for race, vote for sex, or vote for the incumbent. This is a massive force in politics. The one issue this group responses to is when they are told they are going to get free stuff. This group also includes those who know that current dominant forces of government are bad but have given up on changing the status quo.

5)The last group are the Lovers of Freedom and Liberty. They are politically active but smaller in numbers than the other four groups. They do not want any advantage for themselves or anyone. They want a free market. They want equal opportunity to compete. They do not want others telling them what to do. They value individuals.

Corporatists, socialists, and theocrats want tyranny. They all want a strong central government. Corporatists and socialists want big government. They believe  the best society is a top down society which results in much bureaucracy. A limited few know the best answers. Such people know what it better for people than people know for themselves. Do not let a person decide for themselves what someone else can decide for them better. It is more cost effective to manage people as groups.

Theocrates do not necessarily want big government. Government only needs to be big enough to enforce their personal beliefs upon others. If there is a controversial issue, do not let people choose for themselves. Theocrates want their personal opinions to be law. This group is the most easily fooled by politicians.

I am little ol' me watching the show. Politicians are prospering with the increasing tyranny. Government is becoming more and more fascist. A larger more powerful central government is the goal. Corporatism mixed with socialism or words of theocracy are capturing much support. I am an individual. I am a lover of liberty and freedom. Others such as myself are being squeezed by the other four forces into a small corner. The two dominate forces of corporatism and socialism are getting all of the substantial exposure in media. They make sure they are the only two on the stage. Theocrats give support to the corporatists with the hope for inclusion of some theocratic governance.  Some theocrats attach themselves to other forces hoping to rise to power.

Little ol' me is alone. Alone? Not really. We are many.  We are one of the five major forces of politics. Can a bunch of individualists actually form a group? For sure. Not a group in the sense of the corporatists nor the socialists or the theocrats. We are not a group looking for special advantages for ourselves. We are a group looking for no advantages. We are a group desiring freedom and liberty as individuals. Do not hinder us, nor anyone, in the pursuit of happiness!  We must value the individual, not the group.

It is a scarey time. The ills of our bad government based upon corporatism and socialism is building. It is about to cascade. What will rise from the rubble? The other four forces are all against us. They greatly outnumber us. How can we succeed with such opposition? We can because freedom and liberty works. It maximizes the pursuit of happiness.

To succeed there is a path towards change.  We must educate the segments of the apathetic who are fallen into this group because of despair. We must educate the naive followers of corporatist and socialist who do not know what a free market is. We must educate as to the role of government in regards of the need to regulate in order to protect competition in a free market. We need not regulations but just regulation.  Just regulation will give no advantages to any and will discipline those who seek advantage via monopolistic practice or coercion.

We must convince those seeking self serving favor from government that no special advantages for anyone will result in their own best advantage.

Knowing what needs to be done means it is possible we can do it. Daunting and scarey as it is, what is a better choice for our individual lives than to make the world a better place? Liberty and freedom will take my fear away.
