I'd reference the "brown shirts" of the third reich.olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-61818926055230019312014-06-27T12:30:48.168-04:002014-06-27T12:30:48.168-04:00With the understanding that history repeats, every...With the understanding that history repeats, every attempt at democracy always ended with the upper class, the 1%, plundering the public coffers, followed by a dictator to clean up the mess. Two hundred years is an average for a republic as best i can recall, so this might be considered on schedule. <br /><br />At some point an elected official will be begged to take complete power to deal with some horrific event or condition. The Homeland Security Acts, three or more of them i think, have put the legal machinery in place for this. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see if the event that prompts this will be the war on terror, climate change, or the destruction of the dollar. An eco-fascist seems as likely as anything else on the horizon. <br /><br />Of course this "hero of the people" will restructure everything and pick his own successor who will continue the program more despotically. And this despot will do more of the same, each succeeding generation becoming less effective and less devoted to public welfare. A revolution to start it all over will eventually follow, but these phases of history last significantly longer than republics, three times longer being common. <br /><br />Will technology speed it up or change this cycle? We can't even be sure that technology will survive. These despots historically turn to oppressive religions that oppress any effort at science. And if the event this all turns on this time should be economic or ecological, tech will be an early casualty. <br /><br />Technology isn't cheap, and requires a lot of people manning a lot of different industries and resource acquisition. And any of the looming events will likely results in more than a decimation of human population. <br /><br />Has humanity evolved in some reasoning fashion that might prevent this repetition of history? Not in my opinion.olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
