In matters of philosophy and science authority has ever been the great opponent of truth. A despotic calm is usually the triumph of error. In the republic of the sciences sedition and even anarchy are beneficial in the long run to the greatest happiness of the greatest number.
William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)
The Theory of Political Economy (1871)
If Americans regardless of age would reflect upon the total sum of experiences, particularly the timeline segments of relative peace and tranquility, the "good old days" if you will, per seemingly less scandal, less corruption, less violence, less war, less international crisis, less political intrigue, less economic upheaval, less social drama, there skulking then lurking among perception's dreamy corridors and shadowy hallways the same cronyism, same interventionism (per mixture of fascistic, communistic methodologies), same paternalism, same monetarism, same socialism, same militarism, same statism as tumultuous moments and eras hence Jevon's commentary; a despotic calm is usually the triumph of error.
Per the reference fascistic, communistic methodologies, I am compelled to again state my observable, logical, consistent definitions of the two isms...
COMMUNISM; the forceful bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy, thereby property and production owned collectively, publicly, centrally thus governmentally.
FASCISM; the forceful top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, thereby property and production owned individually, privately yet regulated centrally thus governmentally nevertheless.
Consequently...
CRONYISM or CORPORATISM; similarly Fascism in part although eventually whole, progressing incrementally, digressing inevitably towards the same total control of the economy (i.e. United States, most other western democracies).
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
