Fascism in Iran, Burma, North Korea. Axis of evil. Absolutely.
Yet, what do we find in the 'Democracies" including Australia?
While lecturing the rest of us about freedom and democracy the Americans have no Government medical system to protect their own vulnerable citizens.
Their corporations sell out their own citzens' jobs to the lowest bidder by moving to countries where thay can employ slave labour.
They are mean and ungenerous and demonise socialism-the most noble political idea to emerge during the evolution of Homo Sapiens.
With the help of television and newspapers and the internet they have turned a noble idea like 'communism' into a dirty word.
They have elevated and legitimised the 'bully' to superstar-disguising him in right-wing conservative political parties in "Democracies" all over the planet.
They bully their tiny neighbours (like Cuba) who are no threat to them whatsoever.
And they arm themslves with guns so they can shoot each other rather than control their own greed.
Is this really the best we can do with 'Freedom' and 'Democracy'?
Hasn't it ever occurred to anyone since Ralph Waldo Emerson that a nation needs to be run in the same way as a family?
Who ever heard of asking a family member to vote out of self-interest to elect their Dad or Mum? It is a contradiction in terms.
So is asking people to vote for their own interests in a democracy.
Or try asking a teenager if they would prefer to have a Big Mac or or wash the dishes?
Doh!
I'm off to Mars.
