The nation of Israel is now experiencing chaos and a lack of agreement on nearly all the important issues. The LEFT rules over the Supreme Court system and the RIGHT is now in control of the Parliament (the Knesset). This situation produces a form of Mob Rule for the nation. So is Israel a vibrant Democracy as many claim? I would suggest Yes and No. The divisions within Israel were actually produced by this concept called Democracy. This is similar to America and much of Europe. So-called Democracies do not produce real FREEDOM for the people. This is pure MYTH! Watch Biden on this issue!
The governments of Russia and China are called Dictatorships but are these so-called political Democracies (of the West) any BETTER? I don't think so! What happens in a Democracy is that political division emerges as the elected leaders do not get the full support of their citizens. Israel is now in chaos over their rules based system. The LEFT wants more secular government and the RIGHT wants more religious government. The orthodox Jews do not think like the secular Jews. Their ideas are continually at loggerheads. I see this same situation in America!
This situation (called Democracy) produces division and political chaos. The situation in Israel is unlikely to get better as the values and social goals of the left are much different from the right. Benjamin Netanyahu has ideas which conflict with those who control the Supreme Court system. He wants his conservative Parliament to control the laws of the nation whereas the Supreme Court system wants their leaders (the Left) to control the decision-making. The leaders are continually at loggerheads over all the important ISSUES!
America's founding Fathers recognized this conundrum as they understood that any so-called Democracy eventually degrades into Mob Rule and political polarization. Our founders recognized this. America was suppose to be a Republic but it has been degraded over the years to a polarized Democracy. Much of Europe is similar. The nations of Asia (like Russia/China/Iran/Syria/North Korea) watch the western Democracies and conclude that these political governments are no better than their own (which the West calls Dictatorships). I have known this for years. Reality is subjective and today our internet reveals this result (to everyone).
Calling a political system by the 'name' Democracy does not produce real freedom and justice for the common man. Biden wants more Democracy (freedom) for Ukraine as he thinks this will produce individual freedom and justice for the Ukrainian people. Zelenskyy thinks similar. But the reality on the GROUND is much different. The various Democratic political systems produce (the opposite) what I call Mob Rule as events get more polarized over time. I now see this clearly over in Israel. And the situation will not get better with time. All these Western political systems will get more divisive and polarized!
We now live in an interconnected world which gets its information in real-time from our worldwide internet. This type of world will produce more division and polarization over time. It's all part of human nature as leaders think differently about reality and progress from nation to nation. We all think differently as our visions and values are different. A person who has a secular viewpoint (on reality) and wants man to govern a nation will think differently from a spiritual person who wants our Creator to rule this planet. We all have different VALUES! How can this produce stability, peace, justice, and progress?
Since man is currently governing over these political entities (called Nations) we can not expect any real progress going forward IMO. Division and polarization is evident within all nations and political values are different for all our leaders who want to govern over us. A Muslim thinker (for example) will not view reality in a similar manner to a Secular thinker. A Christian will think differently from a Jew. A Richard Dawkins type will not see reality as I see it. For me Darwinian Evolution is a huge MYTH. Dawkins sees it as REALITY 101. Who can govern with this reality at the core?
What we all need is a new understanding of human nature. Human beings should be viewed as SUBJECTIVE. The idea that their is an OBJECTIVE reality which we all will agree upon is pure MYTH. We can not agree because our viewpoints are DIFFERENT. Is MATTER the foundation of reality or is CONSCIOUSNESS the foundation (for example)? Is the subjective mind ruling over man or is the objective ruling? For me, all is subjective as human beings are not GOD. Playing God can not work going forward! What our politicians are doing is PLAYING GOD!
Our politicians need to rethink all their values and ideas about ruling. Laws are subjective. Regulations are subjective. Policies are subjective. Our world is now global and people are recognizing that ALL IS SUBJECTIVE (within reality and politics). My subjective viewpoint may not be your subjective viewpoint. We think differently and those who govern over us are similar. All this means that more CHAOS is evident going forward. There is NO objective solution as of today. All is subjective and chaotic. Prepare for more chaos going forward. Israel is a typical example of all our nations. Mob Rule is the NORM.
Have a great day and give this missive some reflection at your leisure. If my viewpoint is valid, we are heading for CHAOS. I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com.
