Why are the Oligarchy at War against Health and Democracy?

Why? The Oligarchy are at War against Healthy Democracy.

I wrote this as a short explanation : Healthy Governance - if it existed at all - would regulate toxic industry and excessive wealth extraction, and currently the worlds political and economic system is controlled by a toxic industry and excessive wealth extraction oligarchy, who understand that climate change has changed everything - the externalised costs that underpin excessive wealth extraction cannot be allowed to continue to undermine our stability as a species. However they are unwilling to cede their power or change their behaviour, and they are placing the species in great danger.

The SARSCOV2 virus, and indeed Climate Disruption, is telling us that if we do not co-operate and work for each others mutual aid, we are lost.

Boris Johnson is the perfect symbol of this loss.


What's his game

Why the West rejected suppression of the virus.

To carry out such a policy - effective, continued suppression of community transmission of the virus, so that people can work, live, play and not spread the infectious pathogen SARSCOV2 - requires that the State supports the population's Right to Health with economic support, logistical support and local empowerment to operate the find, test, trace, quarantine and isolated treatment. 

It also requires that the State works with the population as partners, equals in the effort. Ruling over a population will not deliver the social cohesion necessary to supress the virus.

This means the Finance and Corporate sector must support the people too. Debt relief, mortgage rest, and other measures to abolish poverty are necessary to deal with the virus, and indeed, to deal with climate change, air, land and sea pollution and other system level problems.

All of these are Democratic Socialist Strategies.

The West's Governance systems are dominated by the NeoLiberal Free Market ideology Oligarchy.

They know that if a social(ist) policy to protect the populations Right to Health was enacted and when it succeeds, then the lived experience of a population who saw a socialist policy functioning would bring NeoLiberal Free Market Ideology crashing down to Earth.

The Free Market claim to be the best possible economic system would be seen as the falsehood it is.

The Free Market Fundamentalists have been writing about the collapse of the Welfare State for decades. Welfare systems and Health Care systems do not collapse, they get taken down.

Which is ironic, because by refusing to suppress the virus in the community, they have proved that the NeoLiberal Free Market Ideology cannot protect the people's right to health, and does not support the people in a wide range of important areas.

I wrote a blog exploring a metric for genuinely healthy governance, based on evidence, nurturing community and environment, preventing harm. 

https://dwylcorneilius.blogspot.com/2017/05/a-metric-for-governance-uk-election-2017.html

"I think of Healthy Governance as being focused on the practical realities of administering a communities shared resources for the equal benefit of all members of that community. 

Healthy governance sets the context of governance as operating within the dynamic of a shared responsibility of duty of care for one another.  In that regards healthy governance has to be evidence led at all times. Opinion and belief are insufficient to meet the responsibility of duty of care.

Healthy governance sets the global context of governance as nurturing, caring for and stewarding of the habitat within which the community lives and from which that community draws living materials and other resources. 

In the case of States, and in relation to healthy Governance we can apply this metric of care to taxation, which is collected from all, in one way or another, by the State, and is therefore a primary community shared resource. Healthy governance will determine that that resource is deployed with wisdom and equity to nurture the whole population."

The Oligarchy refused to take the correct action because they feared that they would lose traction. Democratic regulation of toxic industry which is also a Socialist policy stance, would be next, further reducing Wealth Extraction - they oppose that on every footing. When Greta Thunberg said "I do not want to believe that!..(You are evil) she was on the cusp of the most honest expression of the political truth of our era.

Billionaires funded Cambridge Analytica and Trump and Brexit.

The majority of Covid and Climate misinformation networks are funded by the Wealth Extraction Oligarchy. So too so much of our News Media, Magazines and Publishing Corporations, and then there are their networks of think tanks and a range of NGOs all driving the Oligarchy lobbies...

They know if democratic regulation to meet climate change happens, they will lose the ability to extract wealth by being forced to pay externalised costs.. They prefer war to the lose of that ability to extract the Wealth they need to maintain dominant position in political establishments and legislatures.

This is not a conspiracy, it is not a theory - it is simply describing what is happening.

Brexit is about unilaterally breaking from international treaties, by grooming a population. 

For the Oligarchy, the Wealth Extractors Freedom from the 'tyranny' of sensible, evidence based regulatory policy designed to reduce harms caused by industry is their goal.

To achieve that they must break social democratic solidarity and sow layers of belief based emotionally charged divisions across the available electorates.... when ordinary people hate each other driven by fear, anger, distress, chronic stress, the Oligarchy retain their power.

To protect the Hoard, the Herd must take it on the chin, again and again and again.

Suppressing the virus requires fully resourced pro-social policy, which if the population experienced it, would destroy Neoliberal free market claims about best system.

So we - the ordinary folk with little material power - must pay the price, so that the Oligarchy don’t have to carry the cost of avoiding avoidable harm...

Climate Change isentirely a matter of avoidable harm not avoided - they knew 50 years ago fossil fuel was going to alter the climate and they did nothing. They externalised the costs.

Social belief divisions

Anti-mask, anti-suppression of the virus, Covid Hoax, Lab Virus bio-Weapon, Global Tyranny Conspiracy obsession, pro-Brexit, anti-State, Freedomeers, Woo Woo New Age, Libertarian, Racist, Misogynists, Nationalists,  - ,all emotional belief based - are all enrolled through the Oligarchy grooming operation which has found a series of psychometric keys into their emotional hooks associated with quite understandable distrust, anger, fear, knowledge gaps, beliefs, biases....

These different groups are all forming adversarial  belief position divisions within the electorate - the available population who are entitled to vote and who, if they voted together could remove the oligarchy political establishment in our legislatures and councils, and instead elect honest, evidence based men and women who would write laws to protect the people from the excesses of the Wealth Extraction Class.

They are not at war with Russia, but with us, their citizens, over Climate Change and Covid.

That's the struggle we are in.

Solidarity and evidence, and grass roots political organisation and action, and the taxation stream of democracies are the powers the grass roots can muster.
