"The fact is that true democracy (based on the ancient Athenian model but extending the vote to everyone and abolishing slavery) never happened at all, and was never allowed to happen. Modern democracy is just a dishonest cloak used by elites to create the illusion in the minds of the ordinary people that they are in charge (hence have no one to blame for bad government except themselves), while the elite get on with doing what they have always done – running the country in their own interests. This type of hypocritical, deceitful politics – a kind of Wizard of Oz political system where the real power is hidden behind a curtain that no one’s allowed to pull back – was a clear sign of complete Western degeneration, and remains so to this day. Democracy cannot survive. All democracies are decadent and degenerate, with inept, enfeebled leaders lacking any vision or real power. They are a modern echo of the lack of strong leadership of the Roman Empire as it entered its phase of terminal decline and inevitable collapse. (.....) Free-market capitalists will go anywhere in the world where they can maximize their profits. They have no loyalty to America and no interest in the American people. To surrender power to an economic system that doesn’t care about your welfare – as the Americans have eagerly done – is to court inevitable disaster. That disaster is now arriving. The chickens have well and truly come home to roost. Americans thought that free-market capitalism would allow them, as the most powerful capitalist nation, to rule the world. Instead, it’s free-market capitalism itself, not America, that rules the world. America is just one node of a globalist system and the ruling capitalists have no particular interest in it. If China, Brazil, India, Russia and the nations of Africa offer higher returns than America then that’s where the capitalists will invest their money, regardless of what that means for America. America, through its greatest treasure (capitalism) has destroyed itself, and, moreover, that was always the inherent logic of free-market capitalism. Only a degenerate nation cannot see when it’s drinking poison." -Mike Hockney ("HyperHumanity")
