Kindle price from $3.99 to $1.99

I requested the publisher to permanently reduce the Kindle price from $3.99 to $1.99 ... Per the book's topic, it seems appropriate to make the e-book version as widely accessible as possible...

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

And I continue unashamed to egomaniacally quote myself... :-)

And I continue unashamed to egomaniacally quote myself... :-)

As quoted from my forthcoming 10th book entitled 100 Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. Performing my final review, to be published/available in a few weeks...

"The good citizen, the obedient subject and the sacrificial patriot are always the objectives of government, thus externally generous as internally anxious to educate the youth, the preferred means to the coveted ends. For truly coveted are individuals’ life, liberty and property, so much so, government will forcefully take them from individuals or cleverly convince individuals to give them up quite willingly."

D.C. Quillan Stone

"The third Jeffersonian right, the unalienable Pursuit of Happiness, have become the copious denotation, fallacious justification and erroneous summation of all rights conjured thereafter. Encouraging political otherwise criminal actions to underwrite imaginary rights, while theft and confiscation are justified even moralized as taxation and eminent domain."

D.C. Quillan Stone

"If the aims of United States were peace as declared by President Bush in 2004, then were aims achieved, for whom, and at what cost? If not ambitions of empire, then someone, anyone identify and define the objectives for two centuries (and more) of violently aspirant preoccupation towards domination. Determined to perpetuate the fiction, President Obama declared at the 2009 inauguration, “America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.” O Peace; an era yet begun thus a role yet played. Regrettably, Christian-Americans persist to hymn their hypocrisy to the Prince of Peace, as Other-Americans insist to glorify their trifles and arbitraries, while hailing as God’s anointed or morally enlightened their preferred warmongering Caesars."

Bill of Rights; Unnecessary and Dangerous

Perhaps the most insightful piece among both Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers is Federalist Paper No. 84, surprisingly written by one founding father (crony) I despise the most, the father of central banking Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804). Yet, this federal-centralist proposed the Bill of Rights as "unnecessary" and "dangerous", of course confirmed by U.S. history, as well elaborated by Proems & Poems 19, 20 & 21 in my latest and 10th book One-Hundred Proems and Poems on the Peculiar Human Ability to REASON, Singular Human Right to CONSENT and Other Neglected Matters. Below is an excerpt from Proem No. 21...

"True to Alexander Hamilton's predictions implied in Federalist No. 84 and as bold it may be to say, every aspect of life not mentioned in the U.S. Bill of Rights are intrusively touched by government law, regulation, policy, license, permit, tax, tariff, ban, surveillance, etc. Bolder still yet no less true, every aspect of life particularly mentioned in the U.S. Bill of Rights are intrusively touched by government law, regulation, policy, license, permit, tax, tariff, ban, surveillance, etc.

Ironically, the historically assumed and quite stringently constitutional interpretation “whatever is not written, is not allowed” already began the slow, unnoticed digression in the late 18th century, until the tyrannical convenience “whatever is not written, is allowed” fully matured in the 20th and 21st centuries. To disagree is to ignore implications in and around Mr. Hamilton’s arguments against the Bill of Rights, to insist on disagreeing is to overlook U.S. history entirely."

CONDEMNATION IV - Either/Or

Most likely to be published later this spring of 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

CONDEMNATION IV - Either/Or ~

As I entered the editing phase for this book, while considering occasionally appropriate as well fierce critiques, I am reminded how logically, ethically irrefutable is the issue of consent. EITHER one consistently supports, passionately defends each and every individual's Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters (literally) without exception, OR upon any exception, always arbitrary of course, one must accept their own covetousness to pursue, presumption to scheme, arrogance to impose therefore violence to force against the Preference thus Dissent of others. Setting aside all politically, socially, morally and religiously conjured fantasies, a third consideration is empirically hence realistically nonexistent.

---

Come! Let us reason, else treason contra God’s logical beacon
Peace! A choice always, else the Singular Right viciously beaten
Lost the freedom, aloft the daemons hence presumptions reign
Arrogances abstain to respect and regard the Inseparable Twain

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

AMERICA! - Connoted Collection of Nos. 58-59

America! Will God shed on thee grace undeservingly
For blood spilling `neath flag unfurling in every breeze
Flowing since founding, extolling hence compounding
Anthems hymning, spinning the half-truths half-telling

---

America! Should God bless thee and thy covetousness
(Right to have by presuming your due lustfully endless)
From citing to be free, to rioting for things free, the fling
To flirt, hamstringing empirics’ logic regardless the swing

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

CONDEMNATION III - Casting One Last Castigation

CONDEMNATION III - Casting One Last Castigation ~

The Five Castigations in the previous Condemnation II, of course the featured 100 Proems & Poems, as well the cantos of the Abandoned Project, can be easily summarized if not already understood concisely at this juncture. For each installment share and state one Ethic thus Right applicable to all actions and activities involving two or more individuals, therefore an ethical dilemma consistently arises when transgressed, while unrecognized per the intentional or unintentional shrouding by the deviant or delusional among polity and democracy, society and popularity, majority and minority, economy and industry, clergy and laity, and more.

Christian-Americans are no exception, that is, brutally deviant and balefully delusional as Other-Americans, in stark contrast to New Testament theology and theme, Apostolical gospel and creed, as well Christly narratives accurately quoted or remotely paraphrased. With that said, each person’s conscious and confession are private matters, consequently between God and man. However between individuals, Christian-Americans have claimed distinction in society, but retained none in actuality, historically and persistently disrespecting and disregarding the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

---

Imposition resisted thereafter the proposition dissented

Presumption insisted upon the justification hence twisted

Covetousness encysted for tightfisted so the propensities

Depravity’s totalities; errors, excesses, Sin’s immensities

CONDEMNATION II - Casting Five Castigations

CONDEMNATION II - Casting Five Castigations ~

Christian-Americans have supported as much Cronyistic (Fascistic) Socialism combined with a lesser measure of Communistic Socialism (see Nos. 1-4, 56-60, 83-84, 95) as Other-Americans, while piously blind to the truth and logic thus the one ethic and singular right (see Nos. 25-29), therefore unapologetically coveting and stealing the private resources of fellow citizens under manufactured banners of Charity, Necessity ill defined and more.

Christian-Americans have supported as much Imperialistic Militarism (see Nos. 1-4, 76-77, 83-84) and the idolatrously requisite Patriotism (see Nos. 5, 71-73) as Other-Americans, while piously blind to the truth and logic thus the one ethic and singular right (see Nos. 25-29), therefore unapologetically killing, preceded by coveting, succeeded by stealing the private resources of foreign citizens under manufactured banners of Safety, Liberty, Democracy, Loyalty (Duty, see Nos. 5, 69-73), Necessity ill defined and more.

Christian-Americans have supported as much Paternalistic and (aforementioned) Militaristic Interventionism (see Nos. 1-4, 32, 76-77, 83-84, 95) as Other-Americans, while piously blind to the truth and logic thus the one ethic and singular right (see Nos. 25-29), therefore unapologetically coveting and stealing the privacies and liberties of fellow and foreign citizens, killing as collaterally expedient, under manufactured banners of Safety, Liberty, Democracy, Loyalty (Duty, see Nos. 5, 69-73), Necessity ill defined as well Propriety, Sobriety, Morality, Theology, Philosophy, Economy and more.

To implicatively enlarge, Christian-Americans have supported as much Political Force (see Nos. 17, 43-46, 54-70, 74-80) as Other-Americans, domestically, internationally as well categorically per confiscation by annihilation and reservation(s), subjugation (slavery of some then tyranny o’er all), manipulation by taxation, regulation, prevention, preemption, socialization (all forms of enslaving life), consequently incarceration as well execution (another form of aborting life), persecution too (torture) therefore implementation and continuation by unification, centralization, regimentation (government’s public education), militarization, eventually domination far more expansive than past empires.

To specifically charge, Christian-Americans have favored Violence (Political Force) since their country’s founding, by supporting monstrous wars thus incalculable atrocities against humanity, of course in stark contrast of similar proportion, Christ Jesus called the Prince of Peace (Is 9:6), who encouraged with quite logical words, Blessed are the Peacemakers (Mt 5:9), favor(ed) Nonviolence from ordinary birth till extraordinary death by one of the cruelest of executions.

CONDEMNATION I - Broken Fountains, Blistered Levees

Upon the prior confessions, the following condemnations presume not to arrogate as one now righteous enough to cast a stone (Jn 8:7), but to humbly and regrettably state facts. However admittedly, subtlety as well humility will be unavoidably set aside for the moment, while sincere apologies for the direct, near-arrogant manner (see Confession IV).

---

The compulsion to condemn passionately stirs, swells even spills like broken fountains and blistered levees, per endurably observing the endless confiscating thus mass stealing, resulting to the ceaseless warmongering thus mass killing, initiating from the relentless scheming, colluding, envying and begrudging behind politic, militaristic, cronyistic (or fascistic) and socialistic doors thus mass coveting. The larcenous endlessness, murderous ceaselessness and gluttonous relentlessness transgress unethically by disregarding the right to consent or dissent, as well transgress biblically by discarding the scriptures thou shalt not steal (Ex 20:15), thou shalt not kill (Ex 20:13) and thou shalt not covet (Ex 20:17).

Seemingly tangent yet appropriate, if honest self-examination is allowed, then the core motivation for egotistic frustration even self-righteous anger therefore brutish resistance towards this book’s manifesto (if you will) is not solely due to opposing ideas, views or preferences, rather, specifically due to confronting immovable constancy or unavoidable consistency. Categorically, the one actual ethic that may preempt or prevent desirous while injurious actions thereby refute or reject fabulous while presumptuous ideas, illustrious while spurious views as well propitious while avaricious preferences.

Hence an explanation as to why people at large partially or less, marginally embrace or regard the Singular Human Right to Consent or not Consent, by so doing, partially or less, marginally embrace or respect the Human Ability to Reason. For to embrace wholly, consistently is to set aside much invested ideas, views and preferences politically, economically, socially, personally, publicly, domestically, internationally therefore militarily. As such Christian-Americans, along with Other-Americans, whore with Government in a jointly beneficial ménage à trois, thus condemned logically therefore ethically, biblically too as judged by their own religious standards. The moral digression have trended to perhaps irreversible depths, as conditions were (perhaps similar) when the prophet rightly wrote; woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Is 5:20).

---

Broken fountains and blistered levees, liken Antediluvians

Hence Postdiluvian Isms, while all dead-walk in self-delirium

Insisting, imposing, equally inflicting their preferred Elysium

Till praxeological elisions, lesions by parasitical socio-legions

CONFESSION IV - Arrogant Bastards

While writing this book, there persisted a hounding (from heaven) conviction for appropriate self-condemning in addition to contending, confessing as well condemning of others, Oddly yet rightly, this poem serves the purpose quite well. When first drafting the verse with a smirk on face and sting of truth on the rocks, intentions were of course more satirical thus less actual. Nonetheless, God used time to methodically, pointedly, applicably reverse the effect. So as originally noted, quoted and composed for the book Commentaries of an American Poet (Jan 2007)…

Note:
While listening to Green Day’s American Idiot CD, written on 27 October 2005.

There is a great amount of poetry within

unconscious fastidiousness.

Marianne Moore (1887-1972)

Poets are arrogant bastards, opportunistic romantics

Whining, sniveling, pining, reminiscing, proselyting

As though patrons hesitate on every verb and adverb

Adjectively alienable yet solitarily co-dependent

To the psycho-babble bullshit immersed in the egoism

Permeating the intellect, where the sub-consciousness

Lose identities, conjunctional collisions of non-beings

Where Parmenides’ one becomes elusively ostensible

Or is it so, the shrouded consciousness joins hip-to-hip

To ancestral continuity inheriting both sins and blessings

A trough of self-exaltation, a horn of plenteous conceit

Hence, wise is the stoic silence of the indigenous

Wake me up…when humility rains upon the parade

CONFESSION III - Study of God by Study of Man / Reprise

Evolutionary sciences or theories cannot adequately propose, certainly cannot specifically demonstrate, the spawning and dawning of the Human Specie’s psychology, nor academically, defensively argue the causal transitions from subconscious to conscious states therefore gravely lacking if to expound on the obvious quantum leap from solely, vulnerably instinctive to vastly, superiorly reasonable compared to other species. Clearly, the otherwise featherless, furless, clawless, fangless as well weaker and slower, bipedal Human Specie (see No. 22) can uniquely, particularly reason within beautiful, equally perilous environments terrestrial and (recently) celestial, surviving, sustaining, then progressing, innovating, constructing, expanding far beyond all other comparatively stationary species (see No. 33).

By the obviously, unexplainably Particular Human Psychology, Consciousness as well Ability to Reason, inseparably, the empirically, undeniably Singular Human Expectation, Prerogative, Ethic as well Right to Consent or Not Consent, the logical mind must contemplate and determine a Consideration extra-scientific, Constant or Consistency unidentified ergo Causality misunderstood. Yet indisputably, this seemingly mysterious yet quite rationally exhibited Aforementioned is not completely unknown to the Human mind and soul, un-experienced by the Human body and senses, unfelt by the Human emotion, passion as well spirit.

Therefore, is there more imaginable effort to ignore, deny, resist or reject versus far less intellectual effort (or stretch) to recognize, allow, assist or accept further inquiry into the Extra-natural at least, at most the Supernatural. Yet, some force extra-natural fails per the Design Reasonable or Design by Reason, affirming Someone not Something Supernatural reasoning from preexistence to existence as well post-existence, hence Extra-finite if not Infinite even Eternal, that is to say quite precisely, preferably; God was, is and will be. The tangibly physiological science of diverse kinds capably suggests the pursuit, while the intangibly praxeological science of various sorts logically demands it. The latter superiorly contend over the former pursuit for as God the Creator infinitely reasoned thus consented to create unlimitedly, so naturally mimics each Human of Creation finitely reasoning thus consenting to create however limitedly.

---

Study of God by study of man, to mindlessly twine not
Yet to mindfully resign, humbly, upon empirical thought
O the human fraught `twixt and `tween womb and tomb
Still, fixed to glean the Self-evidence o’er Utopian doom

CONFESSION II - Study of God by Study of Man

Per merely observing and/or extensively studying the Present as well the Past, there arose an acknowledgement of self-evident truths, that is, inescapable causalities amid all Individuals acting, always upon all Individuals consenting (or not), inseparably all Individuals reasoning, therefore quite normal and synonymously logical for Human intelligence to conclude determinable Consistencies to measurably discern, beneficially estimate even accurately predict the Future (see Nos. 6-10, 22-29, 33-34).

Importantly more, all actions Past, Present thus Future are judged without exception as rightful, moral or ethical by those involved or affected per Reason manifested by Consent or Dissent, a commonly ignored consistency nonetheless universally constant. So consistent the constant (if you will), a scientific mind would conclude theories initially, principles eventually. Further examination would favor singularity over plurality as well, upon questioning and rejecting each and every proposed morality, ethic or right, superseded by the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, inseparably the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

To go further still, diligence would duly note the subtle yet prompt dynamic(s), the Singular Right or Ethic to Consent or Not Consent, governing as law all encounters between two Individuals or more. Already engaged is this Law as two or more Individuals prepare, approach or happen upon an encounter, as well linger beyond departure until irrelevant or forgotten the event or action. The firstly mentioned parallel is uncanny, by two or three witnesses shall every word be established (2 Co 13:1), likewise by two, three or more encountering shall every action be judged.

Alternatively, the aforementioned Condition, Dynamic, Law or Ethic precedes, endures as well succeeds the Human Now, by preceding, enduring and succeeding every Human Encounter, innately therefore irresistibly judged by every Participant Individually. Hence, the secondly mentioned parallel is as uncanny if not more profoundly. As God is theologically, reasonably then logically revered per the inseparable characteristics Omnipresent, Omniscient thus Omnipotent, likewise Individuals expectantly, reasonably then logically judge by the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent, a Condition, Dynamic, Law or Ethic seemingly as divinely Omnipresent, Omniscient thus Omnipotent, that is, ever-present, ever-revealing and ever-exacting comparatively to the Non-omnipresent, Non-omniscient thus Non-omnipotent. To elaborate risking redundancy, an apostle once rightly attached to the Former, as could be empirically said of the latter, the elementary antiphon; the same yesterday, and today, and forever (He 13:8).

It is of course reasonable to say God the Creator is arguably revealed by logical studies of His creations physical, geological, astronomical, biological, botanical, zoological, anatomical, and more as composed by the psalmist; when look(ing) at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established (Ps 8:3,4). However, it is reasonable to say God the Creator is convincingly revealed by logical studies of His one Creation individual, psychological, intellectual, innovational, social, economical, and more as well combined praxeological as scribed perhaps implied by an apostle; what may be known of God is manifest…, for since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead (Ro 1:19,20).

---

Study of God by study of man, sound design, not by flesh
Manifested yet in flesh; human actions threshed then enmeshed
`Tween competing interests, thereby Ethic arises by the threats
Consent or Dissent mid bloodless conflicts by sweated respect

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 100

PROEM & POEM No. 100 - So What Is Individualism / Reprise ~

As part of any family, clan, social club, religious organization, ideological institution, school or university, political party or government, country or union, a person never ceases to be individual. Even upon acquiescing and subjecting individuality to collectivity, a person never ceases to reason thus consent (or not) to arrangements, that is, weighing cost versus benefit among options, whether under threat of nonpolitical violence or political force versus the absence of the same. Such naturally logical deliberations by innately reasonable individuals precede and coincide all collective arrangements, for both initial and continual participation. Collective action thus existence depends on individual action thus existence. If not so, then why Collectives’ ever-present and ever-growing expense to convince as well coerce consenting as well ever-present and ever-growing dissenting Individuals.

Again, for as much those among polity reason and consent to “this or that” for themselves and presumptuously on behalf of others, so equally do those among the citizenry reason and consent to “that or this” for themselves. Empirically inescapable the conflict between political presumption versus personal prerogative, for each and every person inwardly expects as well outwardly demands the respect and regard for their own Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

---

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 99

PROEM & POEM No. 99 - So What Is Individualism ~

So what is Individualism if not the variations among nebulous even specious equivocations; self reliance or determination, even selfishness or greed, and so on impractically as well detrimentally? Since the turn of the 21st century, the latter have been a newly popular argument gaining momentum so to mendaciously condemn Individualism as antisocial, uncharitable even callous. The former, older argument retorts quickly, steadfastly while minutely appropriate, thus defending with no more precision than the later, vague accusation. Consequently, both lack practical application without ethical dilemmas.

Concisely hence precisely, Individualism is the constant respect and consistent regard towards each and every person’s Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, prerequisite to all matters intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual, theological, public, social, political, that is to say, all matters ethical synonymously all matters human. By this, all actions or activities between two to two-million or more individuals are inherently, invariably judged regardless of polities, legalities, theologies, philosophies, ideologies, popularities, categorically upon disrespect and disregard; presumptuous arbitraries, magnanimous fantasies or gratuitous whimsies.

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 98

PROEM & POEM No. 98 - Jefferson, Epicurean or Lockean / Part 3 ~

Whether motivated by Epicurus (as classically interpreted), John Locke or other sources, Mr. Jefferson’s posture led to the vague coinage Pursuit of Happiness. Indeed, a commonly desirous state of mind, that is to say “to be happy”, yet erroneously categorizing a desirable, psychological context as unalienable and rightful, without particular definition thus without practical application, without empirical logic thus without observable consistency.

To exasperate further, the plural view of rights was inherited and perpetuated by United States’ cofounder, later protracted and promulgated into additional flamboyancies utopian (see Nos. 27-28), arguably unsubstantiated, economically unsustainable, as well inescapably constant the disregard for the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, inseparably the disrespect for the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

What then are life, liberty, property, happiness, freedoms of speech, press, religion, or more recently, publicly funded education of all levels, healthcare of all sorts, welfare or basic income guarantee, various subsidies, grants, etc., but merely collective pursuits thus not rights, and if ethical then by individual therefore unanimous consent, else as unethical whether by the dissent of one versus one million.

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 97

PROEM & POEM No. 97 - Jefferson, Epicurean or Lockean / Part 2 ~

If the intent was ideological progression or clarification regarding unalienable right(s), then Mr. Jefferson failed miserably, facilitating (perhaps) unintentionally yet incited (quite) dangerously towards further elaborations even exaggerations till present manifestations; unapologetic covetousness per unashamed hedonism heralded unaccountably as “my rights” unendingly. The summum bonum on the matter has digressed to mere preference, consequently no logic, no consistency thus no constraint and no reservation to presumptuously declare, arbitrarily condemn and forcefully act against the individual’s Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters, therefore against his/her life, liberty and property.

The third Jeffersonian right, the unalienable Pursuit of Happiness, have become the copious denotation, fallacious justification and erroneous summation of all rights conjured thereafter (see Nos. 25-29). Encouraging political otherwise criminal actions to underwrite conjured rights, theft and confiscation are justified even moralized as taxation and eminent domain (or earlier, U.S. Manifest Destiny). To side-note, murder is as well regarded, commended even honored per various politically desired therefore publically funded means; abortion, execution, expansion by invasion hence occupation or annexation. Digressively, if rights can be so presumptuously expanded at the expense of others, likewise with far less ease domestic laws and foreign/military policies.

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 96

PROEM & POEM No. 96 - Jefferson, Epicurean or Lockean / Part 1 ~

Some arguably credit Thomas Jefferson’s use of Pursuit of Happiness (see Nos. 25-29) as referential to the classically interpreted writings of Epicurus, that is, happiness by moderation or simplicity, oppose to the more excessively hedonistic view of the same (thus the word “epicurean”). This counters the alternative perhaps common position where he expanded on John Locke’s precise use of Possessions or the paraphrased Property, while condensing the prior rights Life, Health and Liberty to the popularly recited rights Life and Liberty.

Both explanations are gravely problematic to understanding a basic human right. First, if meant as a classically Epicurean reference for modest living, then Pursuit of Happiness is an admonition or instruction, rather than something unalienable. Second, if meant as an expanded Lockean reference, then Pursuit of Happiness becomes a broad, less defined objective, or better said, an observably universal human desire or preference, rather than something particularly, precisely unalienable.

HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 95

PROEM & POEM No. 95 - Sum of All Isms / Reprise

All Isms save one can be summed up as Collectivism imposed by Centralism, that is to say, the presumptuous use of political force by the consenting one, some, few, many or most upon the dissenting others. By using weapons of mass destruction, the Economic Bomb (central banking, see Nos. 81-82, 91-92) and the Academic Bomb (central/public education, Nos. 93-94), far reaching policies are exacted upon the whole economy and entire citizenry, resulting to weak otherwise sound currency while weak otherwise sound mind (Nos. 5, 71-73).

Democracy per the consenting many or most, no more justifies their preferred Ism (use of force) than do Monarchy, Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Oligarchy, Meritocracy, Theocracy (and more) per the consenting one, some or few. Similarly, while shrewdly appearing benevolent and preventive, Socialism and Paternalism no more justify dependency upon Cronyism, Fascism or Communism for forceful implementation, than the obviously destructive Militarism and evidently intrusive Police-Statism dependent also on the same.

To imperatively belabor the point, all Isms inherently, unavoidably, unethically even monstrously disrespect and disregard the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, although save one; Individualism.
