(but let's apply it first to sovereign national governments, ok?) or the "ecotopia" concept which was inspired by systems theory and cues like "island", the 1962 novel by MK-ULTRA operative, h.g. wells prot�g� and freemason aldous huxley (and now, note how ecotopia / communitarianism has now been conspicuously grafted onto discussion of the "peak oil" scare). a common thread in this general area, if one looks closely, is to replace the natural law concept of human rights (e.g. US declaration of independence, famously reviled by the east india company's jeremy bentham) with social models based on pantheism, which is part of the political agenda behind the anglo-american social engineering establishment's behind-the-scenes support of many new age-ish ideologies, themselves continuations of the occult hermetic tradition. (they've done all this before -- for instanced, the pro-british, pro-"free trade" boston brahmins were the financial angels behind ralph waldo emerson, a notable proponent of that era's communitarian / back-to-the-land movement -- the 19th century version of "small is beautiful" -- and transcendentalism (similar to pantheism and predecessor to deep ecology). emerson was on close terms with some of the east india company philosophers, including acting as the US business agent of reactionary feudalist and paganist thomas carlyle. his main sponsors were the opium-soaked forbes family -- is john forbes kerry now here to start building a bridge towards a revived aquarian "antithesis"?) all of this represents the diversionary phony opposition to oligarchal globalization. people like russians are not fooled by the claim that globalization is characterized by "coercive central control" by governments -- i came across one russian political writer who identified the ideology of anglo-american globalist capitalism as "anarcho-liberalism-feudalism", which is think is about right. the new artistocracy: "if the people have no government, then let them eat communities." they are using our natural desire to return to a simpler, more community-based way of life as bait. so, while we spurn "patriarchal dominator" national governments and run for the green hills with the belief that this will end coercive centralized power, they fill the vacuum with truly coercive central control, unstoppable by crippled and emasculated nation-states, in the form of UN "global governance". the moderate, "servant of the people" concept of representative, sovereign nation-state governments will finally be crushed between oligarchal hammer and communitarian anvil. check out teddy goldsmith's site which i think offers the best example of how the scions of the anglo-american financial elite promote this hoodwink (on the subject of finance, note particularly his support of "local currencies"): http://www.edwardgoldsmith.com/ or george soros' buddy amitai etzioni, a communitarian guru: http://www.amitai-notes.com/blog/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
