Nothing New Under the Sun...

Capitalism means freedom, the freedom of Capital. Liberal ideas bear upon this intrinsic feature of the capitalist society. The Freedom of Capital inevitably leads to the Big Capital's usurping political power through traditional democratic process. That is what democracy is for, it seems: to let the Big Capital take over.

However, one's the Capital has taken the position of power, the democratic process becomes generally irrelevant. The reality of the Freedom of Capital has turned into another vivid reality, that of the Power of the Capital.

The Capital in power would be unlikely to allow anyone else to take that power away from the Big Capital. Certainly not through the traditional democratic process, which from now on is viewed by the Big Capital as a threat to itself. The Big Capital, after having taking the exclusive position of power, has to defend itself by creating necessary conditions to retain that political power.

The Power of Capital is bound to turn into Dictatorship, if the Capital intends to preserve its exclusive position. The Big Capital, once in power, will destroy the traditional democratic avenues through which initially the Capital had come into power. The ladder, which once had served as a means to obtain the exclusive position of unquestionable political power, has to be destroyed so that no one else would be able to use it to challenge the Capital in Power!

How can it be done? It could be done through judicial, economic, financial and political reforms! All the means that are necessary to climb the power ladder, i.e. democratic laws, money, independent economic and political subjects, need to be removed from the social and political scene.

Traditional Capitalist Democracy becomes supplanted by Capitalist Tyranny!! The hyped Absolute Freedom of the Capital has turned into the Absolute Power of the Capital!!

All the necessary reforms could be generated under a plausible pretext. War had always been used as one in the capitalist society before, so it could be used now. As the reforms begin to unfold, corrupted political practices of ignorant demos are gradually becoming obsolete, being ousted by encroaching refined Enlightened Dictatorship. All it needs is a potent ideological foundation to build upon..
