One Party States

by Carl Nelson

Dick Morris noted, on one of his podcasts, that it was not our Constitution with its Bill of Rights which insured the greatness of the United States as a nation – but rather it was the framer’s crafting of a government from a “balance of powers” that insure our founding documents were more than mere words on paper. After all, he noted, tyrannies around the world boast the much the same lofty sounding, founding charters. And he recited several articles from the Constitution of the Russian Federation which mirror our own.

Nevertheless, I’m not sure this is entirely true, as Article 10 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation holds that: “State power in the Russian Federation shall be exercised on the basis of its division into legislative, executive and judicial authority. Bodies of legislative, executive and judicial authority shall be independent.” – Google

So what went wrong? Perhaps we need look no further than Russian Federation, Article 6.

“What was Article 6 in Russia?

While the rest of the constitution theoretically assured the public freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of press these rights were neutered by the reservation of article 6 that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) was the “leading and guiding force of the Soviet society”. – Google

In other words, all of the disputative matters had already been settled. (No need really, for the other articles, that is, for the rest of the document.)

This is essentially the state of affairs in One Party administrations – being foisted upon us by the Democrats here in the US – and in ‘perfect democracies’ around the world. We are watching as an administration, in which all of the disputative matters have already been settled, cements itself impervious to the public will, largely by assigning much of its coercive powers to proxy players (corporations, federal agencies, world agencies) outside citizen jurisdiction – so that even protests from within the party are rendered powerless.

This is certainly a most complete tyranny, which they (whoever is manning the levers of power) are relying on an all prescient AI to manage, but as these rulers whim would dictate. So that…as Walter Cronkite would sum up, on closing:

“And that’s the way it is.”
