The Bucking Bronco

This is the exact opposite of what they've been doing since 1990 after taking down the socialist state declaring "so called" democracy it was dubbed by some US officials much later a model reform because the socialist state did not ran them over with a tank as dictator would have I presume however in reality it was the beginning of a downfall - a disaster.

The pro democracy movement started out by students who had the privilege to study abroad by the socialist state mind you to progress the country few in the west and have seen and tasted the glimpse of capitalism ($) - ownership without truly understanding what it is, what it signifies and its possible consequences fueled by greed quickly found momentum - they didn't want a dictatorship its astounding how stupid the general public can be they bought into their preaches and overnight now they also didn't dictatorship little did they know they were about to give the full authority to a group of individuals who wanted nothing good for them but everything else for themselves - the general public I was told almost unanimously voted yes pro democracy. The irony was they voted against themselves - the stupidity.

As long as humanity is a slave to greed and ego nothing can't save us from ourselves.
A good leader can bring a country from ashes a bad one can bury it underground for generations to generations.

PS: if I could vote then I would have voted pro socialist slowly shifting towards the Nordic "social" model.

Since English is not your first language ( this is not a criticism) I cannot understand the middle paragragh, " The pro democracy movement etc. I assume you are talking about Hong Kong?
As regards Europe there are several big countries ( USA and Russia etc) who would like the EU to break up so that the bigger countries, like USA etc, could pick them off and impose trading rules that suit these bigger countries to the detriment of the smaller EU countries. My view is that the EU countries should stick together and remain as a large trading bloc and thus be able to defend themselves against the predatory economic attacks by the USA. If not, the any small country that leaves the safety afforded by a bigger group such as the EU is prone to bullying by bigger international states.

Democracy.
The matter is so complex, complicated and fascinating.

Talking about Western Societies, we can't forget the crisis of Democracy as representative system.
It is the crisis of welfare state,
the decline of traditional parties and participation,
the acceleration of incapacity in front of economic situation since Lehman and the rising of economic inequality...
the Trump phenomenon
and the politics involution and regression as in Italy and UK.
Are they all just consequences of a (wrong) globalization or there is something more?
One example for all: corruption and bureaucracy.

But if we can not have a serious debate on FF about Trading... imagine what would happen trying to discuss about politics.

The first official populist-sovereignst government in Europe is falling due to an overdose of lies that it can no longer manage.

Matteo Salvini has opened the crisis especially because the Italian public balance is completely out control.
The populist-sovereignst government has failed and put Italy on its knees.
And now they run away for fear of the necessary financial manoeuvre because they don't know what to do.
They had promised a revolution, they made a disaster: Italy has zero growth, the unemployment benefits have grown enormously,
industrial production drops and the public debt has exploded.
Italy in the world is as isolated as ever and we have lost credibility everywhere.
There is no money to do the economic manoeuvre: the net need is 23 billion this autumn and 25 the next. FULL STOP.
The risk is to make new debts, or new cuts, or new taxes.
They are afraid to admit their mistakes and run away.
It is not just the end of a government, it is the defeat of populism at government.

The culture of hatred and resentment has failed, it is not the solution.
Will people understand this? I doubt it.
Yet, it is a lesson for all Europe and all the separatists.

Yeah: Italy first, America first, Britain first, Hungary first... madness.

From the program of a Summer Course at University of London ...

"Have the things we have been taught to take for granted failed?
Will all societies eventually become liberal democracies?
Are wars, domestic strife and authoritarian governments really things of the past?
Will capitalism endure indefinitely and is globalisation unstoppable?
Why are so many societies buckling under pressure?
What role do inequality, exploitation and environmental devastation play in this malaise?
Why does immigration feature so prominently in populist campaigns?
Why are so many young people cynical about democracy?
What role does social media play in these social conflicts?
Could conventional wars become a regular feature in the international system?
What utopias move the world today?
And – if democracies falter, what will replace them?"

Hua Zhou... I've completely fallen in love.
I have already posted something else from her delicious work here and here!

Last for today!

Rights cannot be without duties.
Rights must be inserted within the framework of the "Duties of Man"
(towards oneself, towards the family, towards the fatherland, towards humanity... towards Mother Earth).
Without a reference to duties, rights become privileges and oppression.
Every right is never absolute, it draws its limits from the duty that bases it and directs it.

We got used to have turned the relationship upside down: where rights precede duties.
Then every subjective right seems to be the most important of all.

For instance... the last act of the populist-sovereignist Italian (Russian funded?) government was...
to pass a law in Parliament that makes it practically illegal to save migrants at sea.

Yes. They must die.
Once Italy was known as the "cradle of Western legal culture".
Nowadays dishumanity is offical Law of the State.

We all are losing the ability to feel ourselves as part of the larger society/collective in which we live.
It's the loss of any point of reference: justice, injustice, respect, sacredness.
It's the absence of "Common Roots".
