Professor Dr. Rainer Mausfeld on the Destructive Power of Elite Democracy – Understand Now!
0 Comments/in Prof. Rainer Mausfeld“More than 50 years of elite democracy have shown us where this road leads. It is the path of destruction. The destruction of community, the destruction of the idea of community, the destruction of life by the millions, the destruction of cultural and civilizational substance – especially in the Third World – and the destruction of our ecological foundations. The beneficiaries of this destruction have no reason to change this path of destruction. The necessary energy for change can only come from below – from us. That is our task and that is our responsibility.”

Vladimir Lenin on Freedom of Speech and Press: Why Ideas Are More Dangerous Than Weapons
0 Comments/in Vladimir Lenin“Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?”
Vladimir Lenin
Max Weber Quote on Violence, Power and Politics – Insight into Political Communities
0 Comments/in Max Weber“All political entities are violent entities. But the type and degree of the use or threat of external violence against other similar entities plays a specific role in the structure and fate of political communities. Not every political entity is equally “expansive” in the sense that it seeks power externally, i.e., making force available for the purpose of acquiring political power over other territories and communities, whether in the form of incorporation or [of] dependency. The political entities are thus, to varying degrees, outwardly turned entities of violence.”
Max Weber
Zbigniew Brzezinski Reveals the Three Imperatives of Imperial Geostrategy
0 Comments/in Zbigniew Brzezinski“The three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.”

Richard David Precht on the Dangerous Pitfalls of a Values-Driven Foreign Policy
0 Comments/in Richard David Prech“If I may be completely honest, I always think what an accident it was that this woman became Foreign Minister. Under normal conditions, she wouldn’t even have gotten an internship at the Foreign Office. That someone with this moral fervor tries to explain to a class representative of a world power, a cultural nation, what Western values are, defines them as systemic rivals and virtually paints an escalation scenario on the wall, a values-led foreign policy that is in fact a confrontation-led foreign policy, instead of simply baking small rolls and saying to herself: ‘As long as we are economically successful in Germany, the Chinese will take us seriously, lock, stock and barrel.'”

Lysander Spooner Quote: Revealing the True Responsibility of Agents and Representatives!
0 Comments/in Lysander Spooner“If a man is my servant, agent, or attorney, I necessarily make myself responsible for all his acts done within the limits of the power I have intrusted to him. If I have intrusted him, as my agent, with either absolute power, or any power at all, over the persons or properties of other men than myself, I thereby necessarily make myself responsible to those other persons for any injuries he may do them, so long as he acts within the limits of the power I have granted him. But no individual who may be injured in his person or property, by acts of Congress, can come to the individual electors, and hold them responsible for these acts of their so-called agents or representatives. This fact proves that these pretended agents of the people, of everybody, are really the agents of nobody.”

Lysander Spooner Quote: The Dark Truth About Majorities You Need to Know!
0 Comments/in Lysander Spooner“Majorities, as such, afford no guarantees for justice. They are men of the same nature as minorities. They have the same passions for fame, power, and money, as minorities; and are liable and likely to be equally – perhaps more than equally, because more boldly – rapacious, tyrannical and unprincipled, if intrusted with power.”
Lysander Spooner
Ingolfur Blühdorn on Democracy: The Bitter Truth Behind the Promises
0 Comments/in Ingolfur Blühdorn“It has long been obvious in the Western tribal countries of democracy that the promises inherent in this concept will probably remain unfulfilled: Politics is losing ground dramatically to the power of the markets; supposedly democratic systems are firmly in the hands of powerfully organized interests and have less and less to do with popular sovereignty – if there ever was any. Social inequality and the disenfranchisement and reification of citizens as mere administrative objects or human resources are advancing inexorably – though every step of disenfranchisement is communicated as emancipatory gain.”

Richard Nikolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi on the True Power Behind Democracy
0 Comments/in Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi“The form of constitution that replaced feudalism and absolutism was democracy; the form of government, plutocracy. Today, democracy is a façade of plutocracy: since nations would not tolerate a pure form of plutocracy, they were granted nominal powers, while the real power rests in the hands of plutocrats. In republican as well as monarchical democracies, the statesmen are puppets, the capitalists are the puppeteers; they dictate the guidelines of politics, rule through purchase the public opinion of the voters, and through professional and social relationships, the ministers. Instead of the feudal structure of society, the plutocratic stepped in; birth is no more the decisive factor for social rank, but income is. Today’s plutocracy is mightier than yesterday’s aristocracy: because nobody is above it but the state, which is its tool and helper’s helper. When there was still true blood nobility, the system of aristocracy by birth was fairer than that of the moneyed aristocracy today: because then the ruling caste had a sense of responsibility, culture and tradition, whereas the class that rules today is barren of feelings of responsibility, culture or tradition.”
