As far as we go back into the realm of human history, discrimination has always prevailed in almost every society. There have been different bases for discrimination in different societies, at different points in time. Race, language, ethnicity, nationality, religion and so many other factors can be implicated. But, without any doubt, money and power have been the biggest culprits. Throughout the course of history, we see that money and power are held by a small proportion of society, which has used all possible means and weapons to restrict it to themselves. It has always firmly believed that rich must remain rich, generations after generations, and poor must remain poor, generations after generations. In addition to having all the money in this world, rich have always been entitled to exclusive privileges, respect, honor, power and control. On the other hand poor have always been supposed to totally submitted and committed to rich bosses and owners. Generation after generation, they were supposed to serve and benefit the rich, for what ever the return, commonly known as wages, they are offered by rich. In short, a person’s destiny was determined by his or her birth. A baby born in a rich family was born with silver spoon in her mouth while, one born in a poor family was supposed to face discrimination, hate, poverty, hunger and disrespect all her life.
It is not that people have not realized the inherent injustice in this approach, system and so called civilization. People have always protested, revolted, disagreed, questioned and argued against it. Throughout the course of history, we see the people like Ram, Buddha, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad, who stood firm against this inequality and spoke for and struggled and fought for poor, deprived, poverty ridden, discriminated and hated people. Their struggles lead to the formation of greatest and most popular religions on the face of Earth. Billions and billions of people have followed them for thousands of years, generations after generations. It was the outstanding power of great character of these wonderful people that billions of people still respect them like crazy.
Unfortunately the magic of money is never ending. All great major religions of the world were gradually taken over by a very powerful machinery of theocracy. This extremely suppressive and cruel machinery always created a very powerful triangle along with bureaucracy and aristocracy. This triangle was able to hijack the great religions of the world and converted them into the same class system that these religions originally intended to end. With the passage of time, people realized two major drawbacks with religions:
1) They were hijacked by this powerful triangle of theocracy, aristocracy and bureaucracy, and had become a perpetual tool of suppression. They were just being used to exploit their own followers and guarantee the rule of ruling classes
2) Because of so called, perceived, divine nature of religion, the followers of every religion firmly believed that they are the only one on right path and worthy of Gods rewards and paradise, while, the people who follow other religions and the people who did not follow any religion were misguided and bad people and supposed to be burned in hell. This introduced a naturally inherited element of hate in religions, resulting into huge wars and bloodshed, to the extent that religion became responsible for more deaths and killings then any other factor in the world, including disease, accidents and crime.
The suppression under religion reached the levels that people who loved their religion to the death, revolted against it and gradually religions started to get replaced by secular ideologies. While some secular ideologies denied God, once and forever, most still believed in God and religion. They just believed in separation of government and church. The point in these ideologies was to break that suppressive triangle so that church may never be combined with the discretionary power of government to powerfully suppress the masses. These secular ideologies said that religion should be a persons personal affair and there is absolutely no need for people to organize on the basis of religion, since, it always results in suppression of masses, hate, divisions, wars and killings.
These secular ideologies took three different major paths:
1) Fascist ideologies, mentioning superiority based on intelligence, race, money, nationality and other factors. These ideologies were mostly based on Nietzsche’s philosophies which mentioned that the world has always been ruled by two percent genius population and will always be ruled by them. This was basically used to maintain the class structure and caused two world wars and shameful incidents like holocaust.
2) Social ideologies, believing that individual existence should be totally submissive to society and society must exist as a single unit to end classes and class based suppression. Marxism has been the most popular of them and taken the forms like Socialism, Communism, Maoism and Leninism. Unfortunately, socialist and communist governments evolved to be just as suppressive as religious authorities. With no individual freedom and competition, societies and economies became extremely inefficient and could not survive the challenges of their time.
3) Individualistic ideologies, believed individual is the ultimate unit of the society and must remain as such. Individual freedom is the most integral part of these ideologies. Contrary to Fascism and Marxism, these ideologies do not believe on excessive control of government or a ruling class. These ideologies are meant to provide an individual all the opportunities and completely free markets to flourish and compete. Capitalism is the most popular among these. It is mostly based on Adam Smith’s laissez faire or free markets and free flow of capital based on the principles of supply and demand. Countries like United States of America built their economies on capitalist principles. These resulted into industrial revolution and evolution of metropolitan and cosmopolitan cities. Large manufacturing and business entities were built under capitalistic principles of free markets.
