Autocracy, Idiocracy, Kleptocracy and Bureaucracy

We now live under Kleptocracy , Autocracy, Beauracracy, and Idiocracy.

'Autocracy' is a form of government by dictorships or oligarchies with excessive control, manipulation, propaganda and is well illustrated by George Orwell's book '1984'. If you do not have a basic understanding of that book, this blog won't make much sense. If you do understand '1984' then you should be able to easily find the connections with propaganda relating to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which replaced the 1990's era 'war on drugs', which followed the 'Cold War' era which ended in the 1980's, begging the question why our propaganda driven society seems focused on the perpetuation of a constant state of war, as if our nation would become unfrayed by peace.

Parents face a similar version of autocratic tyranny in the form of flippant government intrusion into the care and custody of our children. The corrupt and incompetant family courts distort thier destruction of the family, by rewarding and fueling high conflict custody litigations and sole custody decisions is somehow in the 'best interests' of the child, when in reality all they are doing is pilaging the family's savings, harming the child's future, and engaging in the deliberate, methodical emotional abuse of the child, thru parental aleination, violent parental detachment, and other means.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself and in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.

Thus we see the natural progession of child care in a Bureaaucratic process will seize control from those seeking to help children, ie: parents, to give power and control to those seeking to enhance the beaucracy, ie: the courts, lawyers, experts, etc.

The following video clips provide a quick overview of the basic Orwellian themes:

The overt fraud, corruption, and bungling incompetance of beauracracies, is illustrated by Kafka's nightmarish story 'The Trial'. Overt government corruption and greed describes the Kleptocracy government model, or rule by thieves. Kafka correctly identifies the incompetance and absurdity that often follows Kleptocracy in a form of beauracracy that can be described as Idiocracy. [form of government in which a country is run by fools]. The following video do not really capture the essence of 'Kafka', so you may need to watch the entire movie, either the old version with Anthony Hopkins and Orson Wells, or the newer remake. The book is very difficult to comprehend, and 'Kafka' is confusing. An important concept to grasp from 'The Trial' is that it warns of the coming tyranny of fascism, being written in 1925 Germany. More importantly it illustrates the corruption, incompetance, greed, and absurdly irrational nature of beauracracies that comprise the unjust and oppressive state of tyranny.

Orwell's '1984' envisions a Autocracy that is a brilliant conspiracy of a few genious arch villians controlling the ignorant masses. Kafka nails it better by illustrating the petty, greedy, incompetant, stupidity at the lowest levels on up that engage in beauracratic rituals aimed at strenghening thier own positions within the abusrd and corrput machine. The satirical Idiocracy described by Kafka makes no sense, which is exactly the point, and his works are often described to be more like an abstract nightmare for this reason.

When Kleptocracy and Idiocracy themes merge together, we have a lucid explanation of what is happening in America today, including the criminalization of America:

      The "War on Drugs" is still going on, and it was started by Nixon in the early 1970's. It overlapped with the Cold War.

      Also, the War on Drugs, like the War on Poverty, the War on Cancer, the War on Terror, the War on Crime, etc. these are all just policies, respectively. In these cases, the term 'war' is used as a metaphor. The metaphor is meant to reflect the priority of the issue. "War as metaphor" has been so widely used for so long that it even has a Wikipedia page, for whatever that's worth. lol

      Afghanistan and Iraq aren't metaphors of war; those are actual wars. There are a million issues that can be argued about those wars, but the reality of their existence isn't one. In order to understand politics, you have to understand the language of politics, which can be quite difficult because it rarely makes any sense.

      Aside from that, though, I like the rant. Kafka and Orwell are two of my favorites.

      Good against evil.....which resides in each of us.
      Religion tries to explain it...albeit in cryptic form....but then, in the end, religion, which tries to control the masses, becomes it's own evil as does government.

      Fred, Fred.....you make me THINK!

      Sometimes I feel like we're a small band of warriors for right, surrounded by evil! Get ready for the battle!!!
