Day 17 - The Politics of Failure: We can't change the system... can we?
Can politics be a legitimate way to
change the ENTIRE world system?
There is no shortage of
revolutionary and visionary ideas that could radically change the way we relate
to ourselves and each other as well as the way we co-exist with nature and the
ecosystem. There are many groups with powerful and world changing insights and
technological innovations that can completely revolutionize the way our current
world functions.
And yet not a single one of these
groups has been able to actually implement their visionary idea despite having
a very active and intelligent following. The popularity of these groups is
massive and constantly expanding and there are worldwide chapters that are very
active in engaging in conversations, debates, and discussions about the various
solutions that our world desperately needs. But even with a very wide network
of supporters and activists across the globe, these groups have thus far NOT
made significant change within the world system beyond introducing new ideas
and information.
One of the main reasons for why
there are so many groups in the world today who profess to have "the
solution" and genuinely do have great insight and creative innovations of
ideas and technologies that can change the way the world currently operates,
and yet nothing actually ever changes - is that any change that requires a
change in the world system must be done from WITHIN the world system itself
backed by the agreement and political support of the majority of this
world.
Many of the groups that have come
forward in order to change the world have come from seeing that the current
system is NOT working, and have taken it upon themselves to research ways and
means of solving the myriad issues that humanity currently faces. And while the
general mechanisms for how things got this way and what can be done about it
are well studied and discussed by such groups, the starting point has been to
either destroy or completely stand against the current world system, the
monetary system, and the various institutions of control and influence -
because these institutions are seen as being part of the "problem"
without seeing them as parts within a machine that can and must be changed and
re-aligned if we want the current machinery of the world to give us a different
result.
This is the trap that far too many
potential REAL Politicians of the world fall into - the trap of accepting the
notion that the current world system is inherently corrupt and largely to blame
for the conditions we are now facing, and that it is too entrenched to be able
to change or fight conventionally - and so the only "alternative"
left is to seek a means to correct the world WITHOUT engaging in the world
systems of politics, government, and finance.
Here, having made the political
statement that they will NOT utilize the political system and work within the
current institutions of the world to achieve the changes that the world needs
because the world system is "the problem", and that governments cannot
be trusted and therefore they will not engage with it, or that money itself is
corrupted and therefore they will not work with the money system - such groups
by virtue of this stance being "against the system" automatically
exclude themselves from being able to change anything in any real or lasting
way - because they will find that it is much more difficult to secure funding,
much more difficult to access positions of influence, much more difficult to
implement their goals without having to greatly compromise their principles -
because they will now have to fight and contend with a globally established
system while having to at the same time compete with many others for resources
and funding - and while all of this is happening the world system simply allows
such groups to implode or dissipate or end up fighting and debating with other
groups while starving them of political or financial support.
So, how can politics be used in
such a way that actually changes the world system and will actually allow for
the implementation of the many revolutionary and visionary innovations that
have been kept out of the hands of the people by those who serve self-interest
and profit above doing what is best for all?
We must see and realize that when we
accept the idea that the world system is just "too big" and cannot be
changed through "politics" because politics and the money system are
completely corrupt, we actually make that our REALITY through this very
acceptance, which in itself is a political message that influences countless
others in the world who are looking for real change and searching for the REAL
Politicians of the world to be examples of standing up within the very system
that must be changed and redefining it's very nature and function to serve humanity instead of enslave it.
It must be understood that we the
majority are the greatest and most powerful oppressors to change, and that our
slavery and servitude to the system can only be done through our acceptance.
Therefore unless we realize that we are responsible for the world system and
the governments and financial systems upon which the world currently functions,
it will always remain a mystery to us as to why the world isn't getting any
better, and why we see no REAL leadership in the world that is addressing the
heart of the issue.
In the blogs to follow we will have
a look at what happens when people choose self-interest over what is best for
all, and how each one that accepts the idea that we cannot change the world
system through politics and democracy actually makes it harder not only for
themselves, but for EVERYONE in this world to be able to actually change the
way our world functions.
We will discuss in the posts to
come how, despite our best efforts to the contrary - and despite our reluctance
to accept this fact - we are at all times influencing this world by our words,
our thoughts, and our deeds - and that each moment we allow ourselves to give
up on self-responsibility and accept the current conditions of the world - is a
moment in which we instruct the world system and everyone around us that
"I, a co-creator and fellow politician of this world, accept through my
silence the current state of affairs and I abdicate my power and will to the
status quo to do with as it sees fit in my name", and how that very
statement can make all the difference in whether we will truly change this
world or remain slaves to each other's lack of responsibility.
