Title: Aristotle and Oligarchies Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Feb 02, 2025 02:51 pm Throughout history, power structures considered to be oligarchies have often been viewed as coercive, relying on public obedience or oppression to exist. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as meaning rule by the rich, contrasting it with aristocracy, arguing that oligarchy was the perverted form of aristocracy.
This was taken from Wikepedia. I believe it is very pertinent since it describes perfectly the exact conditions that are taking place in for instance the United States and Russia today.

I can agree that America is now an oligarchy, but it was an oligarchy even before, now the oligarchs are just different. Well, some of'em remained, congratulations to those who have been able to keep their seat from Biden's to Trump's.

Biden didn’t attempt to fire most of the agents in government positions!

Steve, the above is a statement that needs further clarifications. 1) It must be shown that firing many government agents is wrong. The FBI was weaponized against Trump. It deserves a serious reset. Other agencies were wasting public money, like USAID and CIA. they deserve to be dismantled or reorganized. There may be other cases that are not so clearly defined but the premise, firing agents in government positions, is not necessarily a bad decision, beyond being an electoral promise, which is being kept. Efficiency for the people, not corruption and money-wasting. That sounds all very good and many people wish our premier were in a position to do that in Italy. 2) Biden and his oligarchs acted in such a dishonest and criminal way against the freedom of speech of all Americans, their strategy to impose a new dystopic society, the fraudulent attempts to jail their archenemy Mr. Trump, that they are not in a position to judge the new administration. All my statements above are made in attunement to the cosmic vibrations of Jnana. I am not Mr. Trump's defense lawyer, but I feel compelled to illustrate the facts which are more likely to be real, not the distortions caused by the satanic force which blinded, alas, the discrimination of many. |
