As both sides of the narrowing and perpetually right-moving political
dynamic in the United States continue to blindly and self-righteously
proclaim their
side as the side of liberty, the move toward the
obliteration of social service and justice for the benefit of large
multinational corporations has been progressing steadfastly as the
divisions expand while the two political parties meld into one before
our blind eyes. As rhetoric and reaction defines the political landscape
and limited ideological schema of the populace devoid of historical
perspective and reality, the move to the far right is already complete
as every government protection granted us through our unique system of
representative democracy is eroding away before our eyes, yet we
continue to consume the hollow and hypocritical rhetoric by politicians
and mass media who are nothing but puppets for the institutions that
control the world’s wealth and resources. As rhetorical dissonance rules
the airwaves and cyberspace, the perpetuation of our dwindling freedoms
and liberty are a result of our own ignorance and self-fulfilling
propaganda that we cling to with dear life.
To say there is no more Left and no more Right
might be a bit of an over simplification of a complex dynamic of
political economy, but nonetheless is an accurate one given the utter
and total takeover of government by moneyed, corporate interests. This
modern corporatism has created a democratic system that serves only to
divide and conquer. Rather than taking constructive and historically
realistic views of the state of the two party system, the two camps, Liberal
and Conservative (Democrat & Republican), are
engaged in a constant reactionary state, disregarding material reality
in order to claim the rightness of their actions and engage in a type
of verbal and intellectual warfare that lacks any depth or understanding
of the past thirty years of American political and economic history,
but merely repeats and regurgitates the rhetoric that they have
unknowingly been programmed to believe.
