WHY GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WORK, AND WHY IT WILL NEVER WORK...AND WHY GOVERNMENT ALWAYS REVERTS TO TYRANNY...

Power gradually extirpates for
the mind every humane and gentle virtue.
----Edmund Burke. A Vindication of Natural Society
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches.
----Shelley. Queen Mab III

Power tends to corrupt;
absolute power corrupts absolutely.
---- Lord Acton. Letter to Bishop Creighton

In book VIII of The Republic, Plato begins to describe several stages of government that are intolerable, yet unavoidable. Plato predicts a society with an enormous socioeconomic gap, where the poor remain poor and the rich become richer off the blood and sweat of others. In this instance, the people will long for freedom and liberty. They will use it as a battle cry against their oppressors, sparking a revolution.

From this revolution, blood will be spilled and many will die. During this time of violent transition, the people will rally behind one man, or a few men, whom they believe to be their savior. The people will lift this champion to great heights and anoint him with sacred responsibilities to bring liberty to the land. When the smoke clears the old regime will be gone and a democracy will be supplanted. And while this is reminiscent of several historical revolutions, including the American revolution, Plato warns that the trouble only intensifies from here.
Plato, during the course of his writings Plato differentiates between necessary desires and unnecessary desires. Necessary desires are desires we can not over come, such as our desire for shelter and sustenance. Unnecessary desires are desires that we are able to overcome, yet refuse to. These desires include luxuries and lavish possessions. These types of desires are a result of a rapid influx of liberty into the population. Once we have tasted freedom we become drunk off it. Plato predicts that the people will demand freedom at every turn, fighting any form of authority and demanding more liberty. We become obsessed with our freedom and become willing to sacrifice necessary things like social order and structure to attain it.

At this point, the newly appointed leaders become very nervous. It was so easy to depose their predecessors, so why not them? These democratic leaders will realize that they are only easily supported when there is a war that the people can rally behind. And so the democratic leaders will unnecessarily become involved in violent affairs, creating wars to distract the people. To ensure their power, the leaders will create laws to bolster their position. The rulers will impose heavy taxes against the commoners to ensure they are unable or unwilling to fight back against this. And any who do oppose the leaders will be labeled as an enemy and persecuted as a spy. It is for this reason that there must always be some enemy combatant that the leader can cast blame upon.

Plato continues in his discussion by explaining that the these leaders will eventually become unpopular, an unavoidable result. Those who once supported this ruling class begin to rebel against the would-be tyrant. At this point the citizens will try to get rid of whatever man is currently in office, either by exile or impeachment. If this is not possible, the ruler will inevitable strike down any political opposition he may have.

Hated by the people, these leaders will request the presence of a body guard. And now he is a tyrant, the leader has no choice if he wishes to rule. Elected by the people, yet now he is protected from them. Plato predicts that this tyrant will appeal to the lowest form of citizen. He will make soldiers of the slaves and the degenerates. The tyrant will pay them to protect him from the ordinary citizens. And now the leader is a tyrant, born from democracy and propped up by the demand for liberty. And in our quest for liberty, we instead created a monster.

Sound familiar? In amy democracy there arises a whole political class, a group whose only skill set is manipulating the masses into voting for them...they keep people believing in them by showering them with more and more material "wealth" in the form of consumer goods, and although the masses are also handed debt that they will be paying on forever, they will forever believe that they are "free" "cuz look at all my STUFF!"

Anyone who divorces himself from television and mainstream thought will see right through the madness and recognize the true danger at hand here on the North American continent...

Consider the words of Samuel, "4) Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5) and said to him, ‘You are old and your sons do not follow in your ways; appoint for us, then, a king to govern us, like other nations.’ 6) But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, ‘Give us a king to govern us.’ Samuel prayed to the Lord, 7) and the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. Just as they have done to me,from the day I brought them up out of Egypt to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so also they are doing to you. 9) Now then, listen to their voice; only—you shall solemnly warn them, and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.’
10) So Samuel reported all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11) He said, ‘These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots; 12) and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plough his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. 13) He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14) He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his courtiers. 15) He will take one-tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and his courtiers. 16) He will take your male and female slaves, and the best of your cattle and donkeys, and put them to his work. 17) He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. 18( And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord will not answer you in that day.’
19) But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; they said, ‘No! but we are determined to have a king over us, 20) so that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles.’ 1 Samuel 8

Clearly when you put your belief in the leadership of a group of men, you are putting your life and your prosperity in the hands of strangers who DO NOT have your interests at heart...-Gary Williams
