In recent times the cry for “Dose
of authoritarianism” has been growing loud and collective. The deliberative
character of representative democracies have been criticised as being dilatory
and wasteful of time. Local aspirations are brushed aside in favour of
allegedly “larger” cause of national goals and aspirations. All actions of
governments and corporates are directed to undermine and sabotage the local
aspirations and patronize violent majoritarian groups and overlook or
condescend the weaker majoritarian and minoritarian communities in world
communities.
At international stage
“multi-lateralism” or “bilateral-lateralism” is upheld either to weaken
consensus or integration (Mary P Follet’s Integration). Force weak institutions
which only cause to weaken the larger cause of humanism and undermine the
security of humanity. Folks across the world are caught, in between, tussle
fought in their name but for cause of corporates and vested political groups.
While emerging nations and the emergent nations are openly appreciated they are
resisted and made to ‘pay’ through means of coercion and ‘soft’ persuasion.
World markets and International regulators are made to dance to the tune of
large conglomerates which neither have will nor the inclination to work for the
larger collective and cause of Humanism and Individual freedom. Large amounts
of accumulated wealth from rich and elites are constantly allowed into
countries with weak domestic markets and international liquidity is placed in
constant flux, endangering the safety and stability of domestic markets. The
market sentiment is thus highlighted as a logic for “accountable” fiscal and
monetary policies. A Democratic Government has to be accountable to her
citizens and voters, not to foreign investors and international organizations
with hidden agendas of minimalist states. The mobilization and academic mafia
which justify this nonsense logic have been indulging in economic hooliganism
costing citizens around the world a lot of hard – earned earnings and destroyed
more homes than criminals and terrorists combined. Governments should stop this
clamouring for minimalism; Economic affairs are intricately linked to
livelihood and should not be left to crazy “scientific and objective” groups. Instead
under the name of individualism we are forced to subject ourselves to selfish
and greed of vested groups and conservative, paranoid ruling sections. This
will undermine and has the potential to unleash misery on the world…
The Climate Governance talks
between countries are an example of how groups of nations go ahead and sabotage
talks through judicious use of obduracy, recalcitrance and silly argumentative
stances on issues of vital importance for Human existence. Developed countries
with their judgmental assertions and economic arguments of economic emergence
see a pretext or another to slip away from mandatory climate change targets.
USA, UK, EU are assured off their
survival in worst of crisis by a presumption by these nations, that somehow,
the seeds and grain storage in Greenland apocalyptic warehouses will keep their
progenies alive to procreate and survive if a massive scale of famine and
drought is to ensue in the world. On the other hand the developing countries,
especially the emergent economies use accusatory arguments on their neighbours
to push for differential responsibility. The argument most untenable is their
allegedly ‘Zero’ role in industrial revolution. It should be reminded to the
developing countries that it was immigrant population which either by coercion
or voluntarily left their nations and crossed to distant dreamland to establish
their families and make money to survive and prosper. The time of 19th
Century and 20th Century is the most unforgettable for those in
developing countries who could not cross over to green pastures in distant
lands. They had to live a miserable excuse of existence and barely made it. To
only lead to a ‘Post-Colonial’ period, often referred as ‘Post-Independence’,
to be further continue the past miserable existence while the rich in these ‘independent
developing countries’ indulged in ideological and superfluous deliberations. Surreptitious
agendas of conservatives destroyed the glimmer of hope of humane existence that
had been foreseen by the early national leaders of most of these nations.
Politically, each of the
developing countries had a silly notion of democracy having no place for
personal choice. Groups and collectives which are characterized by religion and
fascistic moral policing are defining how and what choices people have to make.
The Ideological arguments are rather hollow and without any basis or
pragmatism. Nations are floundering opportunities for political reform through repeatedly
involving in cycles of violence and repressions. Caught in this war amongst the
National Elites are the voiceless youth and families who are left to either pick
a Gun and join in or Give up and Die. A Dog’s Death… Sometimes Dogs have a
better death in this World…Asian Nations either play to gallery of foreign
investors by using coercion and bribery to ‘convince’ opposition to support ‘difficult’
economic choices. The choices made by coercion is advertised as being made with
great difficult without revealing the under payment received from corporates
and contractors. As consequence citizens suffer, with the rich and elites in
these countries living ostentatious lives. Faced with a recession that refuses
to respond to fancy policies goals and actions, Developed world Governments
have moved to narrow policies of curtailing the globalization of “Labour”.
President Barack Obama threatened to punish companies that create jobs abroad.
UK, EU have mobilized and responded to conservative nationalist groups to
restrict labour movement in favour of entrepreneurs. The use of taxes and
complex immigration instruments to contain the free movement of labour hinders
globalization of the third stage, which open borders and reduces to irreverence
nationalism and sovereignty. There is a need to highlight the need to reach global
integration that enlarges the frame of cooperation and coordination among
common workers and increases their chances of making a livelihood in any
country with minimum of hurdles. Without such an arrangement workers will be
subjected avoidable suffering and alienation and suffering. Authoritarianism
would place populism and vested interests at the heart of public policy
jeopardising the process of globalization and missing the opportunity for achieving
goals of internationalism. Politics of local and regional level, with
completion of globalization, will be undermined. In turn, would usher in
greater integration and better human civilization that sees beyond the
limitations of physical visions and transcend into hitherto spiritual realm of
Universalism. To reach, edge of our universe. Authoritarianism jeopardises this
vision and process.
Economic shocks have always been
here, every time the ‘experts’ come together to find solutions to the
recalcitrant problem, they somehow find another way to swindle folks of their
savings and then raise their hand in theatrical display of despair and regret.
Since great Depression a look at economic history of the world demonstrate the
repetition of cycles of recovery and shock. The Regulators and commentators
have either been oblivious of the evolving situation or their expertise was
inadequate (by their own confessions). How long should this continue? The
pursuance of separation of politics from monetary and fiscal policy is one such
misadventure the groups around world are indulging in. Politics is inseparable
component of Economic affairs. USA, UK and EU are facing continuing
anti-immigrant sentiment at their homes and countryside. There is clamour for
constraining freedom of immigrant groups through use of legislative and
judicial routes in Polities. The indication is that the proponents of
“imprudent” separation of politics and economic decisions have never succeeded
in convincing their co-countrymen to such ignominy. How then can these
champions of individualism and minimalist state dare to profess the same to the
rest of the World?
In an evolving dynamics of World
and Nationhood the irrelevance of Nationalism and theocracy has raised banners
of revolt by conservative parts of our world. The responses against these
revolts have been repression, funded generously by corporates and National
Incomes. The result has been increasing Human suffering. The alienation of large
swathes of Humanity have been further encouraged separatist sentiment, upheld
and fought for by growing number of educated middle class and emerging classes
in the regions of world. Within National borders, minorities and Lower Classes
and castes have continually been left out of the popular economic prosperity
narrative. Their Government either have no will or expertise or actively repress
these marginalized communities in name of clamping on criminals. International
Human Rights organizations have been toothless fairies, inculcate fancy dreams
and raise the expectations of these communities only to be taken to the gas
chambers. A 20th Century Genocide is cited repeatedly to justify 21st
Century Genocide. It seems entire civilization have taken upon themselves not
to learn from history but instead to involve in cycles of violence and
vengeance until no one is left on either side except the senile warriors who in
their arthritic knuckles, hips and knees rot alongside growing flower plants in
special veteran quarters.. It’s not an excuse of life, anybody should live.
Authoritarianism has only caused great economic prosperity and progress for a
class and group not for whole nations. It’s a lie to profess an entire nation
is benefitted when a class is enriched. The per capita incomes of some of the
wealthy nations do not hide the poverty and misery they hide away in disease
ridden quarters. The corrupt governments in Asia have been overthrown. West has
seen their share of revolution from the Working Class. Unfortunately the
lessons need to be repeated to every generation as the generation which
suffered the consequence, forget to pass on the lesson in humanity to their
proud children. The insouciance of the powerful and rich have led to a
self-inflicted degeneration of societal norms and values. The common man, in
this, is innocent. The guilty are locked up in mansions and live a vile
lifestyle and have no right to preach to anybody. They do not represent the
nations they live in and do not have any right to claim identity to the race,
caste they are born in. They do not have any right to seek protection of
political groups indigenous to land and ideology, apparently, belong to..
“Dose” of Authoritarianism is
going to be beneficial to rich and elites, helping them to go ahead living
their excuses of business and life. Lying about their work and means of
livelihood. Making money out of hard work of workers while many of us rot in
silence for their progeny and traditions. This is not acceptable even as a damn
‘dose’. The medical terminology that is
used to justify authoritarianism is pathetic attempt to justify a unjustifiable
personality and means. The absence of reconciliation on social issues and
economic contracts cannot be a justification for authoritarianism in democratic
Nations. Continually clamour for decisive and arrogant leaders in new
democracies have led to a dangerous accumulation of wealth and funding to
unscrupulous groups and aliens who would go to extraordinary and obnoxious
extent justifying actions and means to project the silly image and personality
nexus. Consequently evolution of larger society or Nation as a whole is left to
Dogs .. The temporal irreverence of
historical lessons should not diverge from the main message these carry. We
have all seen what bureaucrats, who follow only orders are capable of, History
cannot be allowed to repeat in this obscene manner. Strengthening Humanist
forces across the world to encourage and uphold the sanctity of humanity and
humanism is paramount to counter the stupidity and idiocy that follow the
clamour for authoritarianism is stemmed early and fools who follow be rid from
their pathetic existences before a larger agenda is unleashed and horror is
inflicted. If a vile needs to be removed, we should invoke hell to fight it on
earth…
