Democracy Vs. Theocracy
I am a man ripped and torn in many directions. My thoughts are not the greater thoughts. My thoughts are thought through yet I have no answer. Liberty and freedom has a price.
Liberty creates and environment a structure a culture. The adhering glue of that being the state that runs under sometimes defined and sometimes undefined democracies.
Once in place the state in control is given the positioning of protector of those under that democracy or liberty.
The state protects those where liberty is in place. Sometimes this fails, most of the time if succeeds. Remove the liberty, remove the protections, remove the state ony to open the doors to forces that can be as secret as a mouse or as clear as a giant. Both are destroyers, self-driven by their internal perceptions of what is right and then once they have their right everything else is wrong.
Once the state is removed a gap remains. The laws of nature tell us all gaps will be filled. Once liberty, democracy even under a despotic libertarian system is removed the gap appears. Democracy is replaced by theocracy – in god we trust!
Yet the theocrats are not sure what they are. All they really know is what they believe. Mostly they advocate Gods ways yet do not know the ways of God. The modern liberal culture is happy to slowly chip away at the liberty state without any real thought or understanding. Slowly one piece at a time they remove one bit and then another bit until the time comes when the gap is so large it is large enough to be filled by something else. Or it simply falls apart.
They believe everyman should have his choice regardless of the outcome. Hasn’t history shown us time and times over that man rarely knows what is best for himself? The few are given priority despite the state being there for the mass. Once the few are given the way the mass are fed a feed of endless mind-changing thoughts until they accept the few as the new mass.
This is the gap. This is the space. This is danger. Remove state controls – democracy it will be replaced back to a natural or unnatural, fair or unfair, extreme, fundamentalist or balance theocracy.
It is rarely balanced until time erases the extremist. Raw theocracy believes it is right by it’s godly nature of belief. They also believe everyone else is wrong. Those that refuse to flow will face it’s wrath. Once this takes place it can be an awakening time for liberty, the state the democrats that create peace and safety for the masses.
It can also signal an end for the state if the liberals claim control. So last night the United Kingdom voted to bomb, kill or protect and preserve? Either way it is a mess. The USA wants Assad and his despotic democracy out. The Russians want Assad and his despotic democracy to survive. The rebels are fighting Assad. Assad is fighting the rebels. The USA and partners are fighting Assad. The Russians are fighting the rebels.
In the meantime a huge gap appears. This huge gap is filled by ISIS. They are not fighting anyone. They want to destroy all the players and fill the gap with extremist theocracy. They kill and destroy anyone in their way because they know what they want. They feel God drives them. They feel they are part of an apocalyptic times that is being fulfilled through their actions.
They are driven and single minded. They want extreme theocracy. The west claims democracy but has allowed liberality to remove the foundations one stone at a time until huge gaps appear. The destruction of state is clearly easy yet is the rebuilding and repairing of a destroyed state also easy?
History even in recent times has already told the story. History reveals the start of the story, the middle of the story and the outcome of the story. Does Iraq look a better place today? Was the despotic democracy safer than the theocratic anarchist states that remain after those wars? Yet this doesn’t change the reality of ISIS. They are strong and absolutely underestimated in their strength. They are the end of the state. They are the end of the democracy. They want all state ownership to end in all of the Earth. The state is the protector of democracy.
Democracy is a manufactured happiness where the majority wants to live. Liberalism was a state by has now become an excuse to break tear down the walls. The difference is ISIS know what they want while the west still isn’t that sure. ISIS wants to be friends with no one while the west wants to be friends with everyone.
I want to commit to a solution yet right now I can’t see one. Bombing more ISIS recruits alongside helpless un-empowered civilians certain for the slaughter. Yet when I see what takes place in places like Paris I am also distressed like any mortal man at such death dealing scenes.
This though is different. I think we know its different yet we are not sure how to deal with different. Dropping bombs is an option yet it isn’t a solution to anything. Discussions aren’t an option because they want to discuss nothing with no one.
These are critical times hard to deal with. This feels like last days but last days of what? Using words like this will only inspire the theocrats into action yet history also tells us about many theocracies. It’s a mess. It’s a shambles. It’s utter confusion and mental absolution without any kind of salvation yet it is the outcome of mankind’s endless interference on issues and problems that never concerned them in the first place.
What’s next?
Today’s democracies are not peaceful. They are war economies. Yet there are democracies that have passed through war economies to live as peaceful nations. History gives us the solutions yet the man that lives always feels superior to the man that sleeps in death. Yet even in death his legacy of his lessons are great. I am not sure where this is all going.
If history is a word of truth ISIS will eventually fall yet if history is a truth that could take a very very long time. If history is still a truth those that claim democracy not only will fall but also are falling. Their account of life and their ways has written their future for them. It’s a mess but it isn’t anything new.
Right now we have a pressing problem. All rot starts with a single organism. If that organism isn’t treated fast the whole infected area spreads until it infects the mass. There is a solution. I am not sure what. The war makers cannot be peacemakers. The destroyers cannot be peacemakers. The gap is here right now and the battle to fill it is taking place right now. There can only be one winner.
There are never any winners.
