Politics and Labels

Liberal, Conservative, Republican, Democrat.  The labels in which politics describes itself. What are these things but the equivalent of religious institutions requiring a dogma of rigidity.  Dogma can be a dangerous thing leaving logic and compassion behind.

I would like to think I'm an intellectual, a person who can take the information presented and make a decision based on rationality. The issue with a person who labels themselves they will be forever pressured to make their decisions based on the dogma of their label instead of listening to the rational side of themselves.  They will even convince themselves their false positions are just, while inwardly contradicting their own words. These contradictions often lead to decisions that negatively impact society as whole bogging down our progress.

It is imperative that as a society we rid ourselves of these labels to free our minds to make logical and ration decision's free from the influence of party politics. If there must be a party then let it be a party of rationalists, people who will think for themselves and make their decisions based on the best interests of their constituents and not their peers or corporate masters.  We elect our politicians to serve us not themselves or their contributors.

We have allowed the politics of a great nation to become the butt of one continuous joke throughout the world and we can no longer think of this as acceptable.  The corruption has reached it's peak and we must ensure its demise. We must work to rid ourselves of these labels and parties before they become more than just what defines our political ideologies and turns into a quagmire of indoctrination with an inevitability of tyranny. Rigid unyielding opinions and policies can only lead to an inevitable end, Dictatorship.  It will be a world of one opinion and one rule of law, a neo-fascist state.

Will that be a world any would want to live in?  A place where the opinions of those in power will forever trump the logic of the lower classes?  We cannot afford another Nazi or North Korean state to take hold, apathy and ignorance is the greatest enemy of the masses.  While we argue and bicker over the meanings of every decision everything we are is slowly being eroded beneath our feet.  We must withdraw our capitulation to corrupt and greedy society and reinvest in what make the human race great, innovation and truth.

In ages past the label of religion was the ultimate authority, then it began to go hand in hand with an aristocracy imbuing their power on those they felt to be inferior.  No human is inferior to another, wealth an labels do not a human make.  History will judge us not by our words but our actions.  Do we really want to remain the communal joke in the present and the long joke in the future?  Or do we want to make this as the time we finally stepped form the dark ages and into the light free of the dogmatic ties that bond our minds and souls?
