Caste, Aristocracy, Subduction

Meena Kandasamy: to listen to Meena is to understand passion and pain. Together they form a potent liaison and her poetry writing is powerful. The thrust of her work is aimed towards the Indian caste system and its annihilation, but is profound in itself.

Other world ‘democracies’ mirror in many ways the caste system as the mechanism for exerting control over the majority by a minority. The UK-class system of upper (aristocracy) and lower (working) system belittle and exploit ‘breeding’ as though a birth-right exists to rise up and be at the top. Or simply to be born at the ‘top’. An automatic existence to be above all else. But that simply implies pedigree and ironically associates with beasts.

The ‘middle-rich’ class is simply an invention to cloak the extremes and enable the illusion to exist.

African apartheid - the concept is nauseating enough, but the actual working of such a system defies adequate description.

Belief systems enable one group to claim they have a right to bring death upon those who disagree with them. The non-conformist is a thinker who concludes that the instructions of the self-appointed ‘ruling classes’ is not right. This too is a belief, just a different one. The view of the ‘ruling class’ will benefit that class at the expense of everyone else who is needed to support that minority advantage. There's little difference between murdering the competition and simply removing freedoms. To control and enslave. It's badged as the upper class advantage as a nauseatingly 'God-given' right. Of course it's not. It simply the parasitical element taking the advantage and subjugating those who are not wealthy enough or have sufficient self-protective influence to defend themselves.

The parasite (minority) feeds on the host (majority). The majority is subjugated by the minority. The host eventually rises ‘en masse’ as in Tunisia or Egypt (2011). The parasite is ultimately exposed for what it is. Nasty and generally small. The one parasite needs co-operation from another (different) parasite as with Egypt and USA. Financial aid ($1.5bn annually) for a non-sovereign foothold in a foreign state. Effective bribery. The aid usually involves some sort of military presence: personnel and ordnance.

Prediction: oil will be 'found' under the Sahara. It's where it should be found. Simply consider subduction.
