There has been a debate going on for thousands of years worldwide. It can be summarized as Natural order vs. planning. Is there a natural order in human lives? Does it work? Does it need any management? Change/ Control? Are managed and planned systems are or could be better than natural order? The natural order is the maximum freedom for individuals, the complete opposite of state ownership of means of production, in which liberty is little to none. In natural order, he makes decisions and controls his life. In planned systems and economies, everything is planned, run, and controlled by a small group of people that is supposed to have the best interest of everyone. Question: is it better for every individual to have complete control over his or her life, or should individuals yield the authority in their lives to the people with the knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, skills, empathy, and character to be trusted with all the authority and power?
This foundational idea for centrally planned societies and economies that some people must be trusted with unconditional and limitless authority over everyone else sounds ridiculous. The entire worldwide human history is filled with examples of incredible abuse of authority, which not only robbed people of freedom but also caused lots of loss of life, property, families, businesses, and wealth. Looks like it happens every single time, and every authority is abused more or less. People with a good grip on history wonder why we still believe in authority. Why do we not learn? It is a highly puzzling question. It is a fact that even after thousands of years of abuses by authorities worldwide, a significant majority of the world population still looks to the authorities to run their lives with great hopes.
One wonders what the source of this hope is. It is certainly not the history and experience. Then what? To answer this question, we have to review history very carefully. All of this started with the gods in Sumeria. Their incredible technologies, beyond magic for the people at the time, convinced them that the gods were their creators. Hence, humans must wholly and unconditionally submit to them. Every word and every action from gods is for the benefit of their creation. If incomplete, stupid, ignorant, sinful, defective, and weak humans want to be prosperous and saved, then their only option is complete obedience. Starting from there, all the way today, demigods, pharoahs, kings and emperors, dictators, and even secular governments are conveying the same message.
You do not know what is good for you. We know it better. So, do not question us, do not argue, and do not think. Just obey. The deceptive notion under secular governments was that a piece of paper would bind them called a constitution, and would be the governments of the people, for the people, by the people. But it tun out that no government ever cares about the constitutions, and the government of the people remains a mirage in the vast desert because, by definition, only a small group of elite keeps bossing around everyone else. Once in office, nobody cares about the people who elected him or her because they know it is not the people who elected them. It was elite money and propaganda machinery that got them elected. The same machinery will keep them in the office and get re-elected.
If the so-called elected official deviates just a little bit from the elite crony agenda, hell breaks down against him or her. Other politicians, bureaucrats, media, academics, experts, and gurus all start telling people how evil and crazy that traitor is. In the good old days, the deviators used to get killed or exiled. They still get killed or exiled, but in modern times, with the power of propaganda, they have better options., with the possibility of killing the disobedient people without killing them. They get cornered or wholly cut off. So, learn your lesson and remain loyal. After their epic failure, gods entered the background and pulled strings from behind. They created the religions of unseen gods, divine rights, books with the codes of life, temples, and priests who taught complete submission, and armies that subdued people and kept them subdued.
They are still behind the scenes. They and their pawns are still running the show. Atheism has replaced the Theism. The state is a new religion. Government is the God. Presidents are new prophets. Cabinet, legislature, and courts are new disciples. The Constitution is the latest holy book. The new religion of Atheism is everywhere and enjoys even more power, authority, and control than the theistic religions. Blind faith in authority is still the phrase of the day. With better technology, they can surveil and control people even more effectively. Their reach is limitless, and their scaremongering world even better for them. When corporate media, so-called experts and gurus, academia, bureaucrats, and politicians come into action at the same time and start singing the same song, even many daring people start shitting in their pants right away.
They are still determined even after repeated failures throughout human history. They hate system of natural order, and freedom, Capitalism a lot. Any alternative to capitalism is acceptable to them. But Capitalism is portrayed as the mother of all evils. Capitalism is the accurate representation of nature. Just like nature, nothing is equal in Capitalism. But this natural order becomes the main talking point of central planning livers. Although there are zero examples of unnatural equality throughout human history, natural inequality in capitalism is because power brokers cannot accept capitalism. Even the inequality argument against Capitalism is baseless because, being the only system without any coercive authority, Capitalism is the only system that provides a plain field to everyone. With central authority, central planning, and interventionism, every other alternative guarantees inequality based on obvious cronyism. Of course, the natural outcome is always unequal since no two humans are equal in their qualities. Nature is a race inwhich every runner reaches the finishing line at a different time.
