Since there is so much talk about revolution, law and order, and proper conduct for people and their government, let’s put a few things in perspective. Most of the people in the world are really dumb. Not because they lack intelligence but because they have not educated themselves and are entirely too dependent on the government education they received as kids and young adults, and their minds are rotten. This was a purposeful excursion into the world of control as the powers of the world have intended. One of the first things I did on this blog site was to establish that a couple of my favorite works of literature are the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. I consider the American Constitution to be one of the most important works of philosophy in the history of the world. And that trajectory will continue despite this current globalist movement toward borderless communism led by a new military power in the world, the aristocratic financiers. The trajectory of human experience naturally drives them toward more personal freedom, whereas the power structures using technology to facilitate it seek more centralized control resulting in the kind of divisiveness we see today. When governments try to take people where they naturally don’t want to go, people would have a moral, ethical, and legal right to stop them. I never signed up for a communist takeover of my government, so if a government tries to move in that direction, people naturally have a moral obligation to fight it for the sake of all future humanity.   Because of the poor quality of their education systems, most people don’t know what they should be thinking or doing. They just know what they feel even if their intellectual aptitude has been robbed from them deliberately by these corrupt forces to acquire power that has always been at the heart of the problem. 

When I say I love the American Constitution, I love it as a work of philosophy as part of the evolution of human experience that will continue along that many thousands of years of trajectory. That collision of personal freedom and expression is colliding with many millions of years of human beings clambering to be the village chief of their tribe and the centralized authority of their localized clan. People naturally want to be in charge of other people, even if people as a species are constantly growing away from that primal perspective. But I am not happy at all with the tone of the American Constitution.   I see Federalism to be entirely too restrictive and centralized, which is uncomfortably too cozy with big government solutions. During the debate of the original Constitution, I would not have been happy with the eventual Constitution, as I would have been aligned with the Anti-Federalist sentiment, such as Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. I live in the town named after the big-time Federalist Alexander Hamilton. But I would not have liked Hamilton. I think the world was done a great service when he lost the duel with Aaron Burr and that the world would be a lot better off if people still settled their disputes with one another with duels instead of hiring a bunch of pansy lawyers to go to court. Courts have been a poor substitution for the restitution of satisfaction. But, I have agreed to live in such a society under those rules, and its that settled Constitution that I have signed up for, even if I don’t agree with much of the big government approach that was in the final Constitution for which we have built our laws around as a nation. History now shows how wise such a Constitution was and how a country could prosper. So, it’s worth defending as written.

However, I view the Bill of Rights as a concession to the Anti-Federalist arguments, which is precisely what they were. I am personally to the right of the Bill of Rights by quite a lot. Much of my personal beliefs are to the right of Thomas Jefferson and other early Anti-Federalists, so what ended up in our Constitution naturally is too oppressive for me as it is. The Bill of Rights, which was added after the Constitution was ratified, was included to appease the Anti-Federalists. George Washington was a Federalist; I don’t talk much about him. He may have done a great job as a leader of his time, but he’s not the kind of person I’d sit down with and talk all night about philosophy.   George Washington was entirely too liberal for me. And that is even more true today for people who do their homework and read the Constitution and understand history; the conflicts being expressed presently are an attempt to reverse the course of the human race back to a dependent culture that runs contrary to the desires of all human beings. George Washington and his buddy Alexander Hamilton and John Adams were good people with roots still in the old aristocracy of Federalist ideas. While they rebelled against the crown’s control over the colonies, they still liked to play dress up and dance with the ladies as military officers. The Anti-Federalists wouldn’t even want the military because they could be used as an oppressive force against the rights of the people. 

This is why the notion that Trump supporters, or any hard-liner conservatives, are Nazis or fascists, or anything derogatory, is rooted in sheer stupidity. All those terms are along the scale of European socialism and communism as defined by Karl Marx and are not even considerations in American life, which evolved from the philosophy of the Constitution and the economic concepts identified in the great work by Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations. Because global academics have ignored Adam Smith and embraced Karl Marx, that doesn’t mean they were right. All it means is that people trusted authority too much to question what was being taught and not ask the basic questions as to whether it should be taught, as most people would be better off without knowing anything about Karl Marx. But Karl Marx facilitated those immature urgencies in the effort for the village chiefs to retake the primal desire for centralized authority. The work of the American Constitution is what everyone should be studying and using to have successful cultures of their own. But as for global definitions, the political spectrum isn’t along the lines of hard Karl Marx and soft Karl Marx, but no Karl Marx all together. Global communism and socialism are not an option; for America, there is only one law: the Constitution. If we are dealing with a government that seeks to get rid of it in favor of something else if that’s the case, I’m to the political right of the Anti-Federalist types, and the fight will be along those lines. Not in digital currency, run by a bunch of dumb Marxists in Switzerland while debating the merits of cuff links over tea. I’m happy to live under the restrictions of the American Constitution because it has a history of working, even if it drives me crazy with too much-centralized government. But for those who want to get rid of that law, I think the world would be a lot better off with Aaron Burrs and the duels of satisfaction than the brain-dead stupidity of the Deep State bureaucrats. And if they want to go there, that’s on them.
