Basis and Purposes of the Party
By: siva_canjeevaram Date: February 21, 2021, 8:32 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Our first basis is to Succeed
Even though there are only two political parties popular at a
given point of time, there have been and there are several other
parties in existence or that existed. And of all the parties
ever existed, it seemed that some sort of Left-Right dichotomy
will be the only successful model. Why do we need to consider
this dichotomy? Because if we do not understand this then we
will never be successful in creating a party that can really win
power. What is the point of doing all these if we cannot imagine
ourselves to come to power? The Left-Right dichotomy does not
exist because of some conspiracy or manipulation. But it exists
because of the inability of the gross intelligence of people to
consider anything beyond the number two. Because politics is not
something people want to go for pleasure, but they go there out
of some negative feelings (fear, frustration, anger etc). I
mean, in an ideal future there won't be any politics, because
all decisions will be taken objectively by an AI computer which
could process tons and tons of data in milliseconds. I am sure
humans will come to this point. But till such time we have to
tolerate this mediocrity of our minds which is always in binary
mode.
How did the Left-Right Dichotomy happen in the first place? It
seems that after removing all attributes that divide people.
like race, colour, caste and creed, there still are two things
that nobody is able to remove. It is as if we have reached the
last indivisible part of an atom. And the last indivisible part
of humanity is this;
that is;
[list type=decimal]
[li]The Individual[/li]
[li]The Collective[/li]
[/list]
Now the reader can see the monopolization for themselves. The
left has hijacked the collective and the right has claimed the
defender or the individual. This is at least in theory, but in
reality things are very different. Neither party don't care
about ideologies but care more about re-election and calulation
of votes. It is in this situation that they start playing "brand
politics" that is to hold on to flagship issues like BLM or Gun
rights etc. Ask the Democrats or Liberals to pursue Universal
Basic Income, they won't. Ask the Republicans or the
Conservatives to ban all immigration, they won't. And the reason
is because they need not to. All a Democrat needs to prove that
they are a Democrat is to say shit about Trump, then people will
cheer and explode in applause. Similarly all a Republican or a
conservative has to do to proove they are a conservative is just
to Salute the flag or armed forces, then people will cheer and
explode in applause.
My point is, Liberals and Conservatives themselves are finding
it very hard to send out a strong and consistent message on how
different they are, then how can a third or fourth party enter
and what they can tell people on why they are different? Because
the gross intelligence of people do not understand the nuances
in policy differences, they neither have the time nor the
capability to understand them. Hence, the third or fourth
party's demise is inevitable. I will repeat this point with an
example. How do most people choose between doctors? Do they go
into the details of the treatments, procedures or experience,
education? No. But most people look for references from people
they know, like a Car Mechanic.
If we need to survive, and succeed then we might need to find a
clear differentiation, not an ideology or manifesto, or
doctrine. Because those don't sell well. People won't believe if
you are going to say that "we are here fighting for freedom"
etc. The differentiation has to be simple, strong, and clearly
obvious. It should not take the gross intelligence of people
much efforts to understand the differentiation. This will be our
base upon which we will build our party, and this will be the
base that is going to ensure our success. Now let us think in
what possible way could we differentiate ourselves?
Looking beyond the Dichotomy of Politics
Let us look more closely at the two indivisible things;
[list type=decimal]
[li]The Individual[/li]
[li]The Collective[/li]
[/list]
Human beings are a type of "ideological changelings", though
only these two attributes are not divisible, human beings
themselves go in and out these attributes. It all depends on
their circumstances. For e.g. a youth in their early twenties
and had just passed out of university, with a lot of student
loan debt will naturally align themselves with the collective.
But as time goes by and they land in a good job with say a
five-figure salary, and when the time comes for them to pay
taxes, and when they see that they have to pay one third of
thier income as taxes, then they will start to think as an
individual. Whether one is a lifelong conservative or a lifelong
liberal only depends on the length and intensity of their
experiences and circumstances. My point again is there is no
true or correct political position. If people from the future
can read this, as I mentioned in the beginning, they will be
living ina time where there are no political parties but only AI
computers that will decide on polcies Because by then
homogenization and standardization of circumstances and
experiences would have taken place. For e.g. poverty will not be
relegated to Bangladesh alone, developed countries will see
poverty too. Civil war will not be exclusive to Africa alone,
but G7 countries are also going to have armed internal
conflicts.
After writing the above, I now have a vision, and it only seems
logical. If we have to bring in a third position to the existing
dichotomical politics, we then have to first construct a yes or
no binary question. And what might that be?
Ask the people if they would like to live in a world that is not
governed by politics? There you go, you now have your binary
question which will even precede the existing "Do you vote
Conservative or Liberal?"
And right there we have our purpose now.
Just a few minutes ago, I saw a video of MP Michelle Rempel

/>questioning the government to provide data. And see for yourse
lf
what the answer was.
Politics is simply disgusting and has to be eliminated. If
anything is the disease then it is politics.
Our purpose and only purpose is to eliminate politics from human
civilization And this we will achieve in a hundred years, if
not a thousand years. I am saying a hundred because the human
species is currently like a fresh group of cavepeople who are
discussing among themselves whether to go out of the cave and
whether there is lion waiting there behind the bush. I mean,
humans are still very primitive in their wisdom, personality,
behaviour as well as technology. Self-governing and that too
without politics and politicians will require a lot of
advancement in technology as well as large evolution in the
human psyche and gross intelligence of humanity. Nevertheless,
we will work towards that goal. Everything has a beginning, and
the beginning is usually crude, and humble.
Our party hence is the beginning of the era of human
self-governance as a species or as a life form, and they do this
without the involvement of politics and politicians.
