THE Fundamental Question.................from Rico

It boils down to one question:

- The State over the Individual

                       or

- The Individual over the State

          WHICH IS SUPERIOR?

 

The ancient Greeks debated the point.

- Plato was a Statist.

- Aristotle an Individualist.

WHO DRANK THE HEMLOCK?

 

Today there seems to be NO debate, an the State is generally assumed by both the left and Right to be dominant.

- Any 'debate' now is "what type of State should control the Individual?"

 

I think today's "pyramid" [attached] is the Central Banks at the apex, the Corporatocracy above the State, with the Debt Slaves [read: Individuals] at the very bottom.

 

For clarity:

Statism = Marxism

Individualism = Freedom

 

Friedrich Nietsche perhaps said it best:

"Everything the State says is a lie and everything it has, it has been stolen."
