The 21st Century Proves John Locke has Defeated Thomas Hobbs

 

Two political philospers, Locke and Hobbs, argued about whether government was a necessory evil or nothing more than a predatory protection racket that hindered  peaceful cooperation.  Locke said government was a criminal racket and was not needed, while Hobbs said that people would destroy themselves without government. 

The US government has always indoctrinated the American people to believe that it is an indispensable part of its peace and prosperity.  But, the truth is that the US relies on international lawlessness within a framework of UN Security Council vetoes to perpetrate its crimes and then calls this paradigm “law”.  Then, the US has the chutzpah to have nations defer to this unjust construct and call it “international law” while making the claim that they US does not violate it.  This is because the US can veto any objection to its crimes.  If someone could veto any law they are guilty of breaking, they could commit all the bank robberies they wanted, veto the law against bank robbery and then successfully make the legal claim that they never violated any law.  With this perverted logic the US could assert that if the government legalized lynching their would be no crime committed even if lynch mobs decided to hang innocents or minorities based upon their race or religion due to the fact that lynchings are legal.

The US has used this twisted logic for the last 100 years to justify its imperial crimes and global oppression using some of the most heinous dictators the world has ever seen who have committed some of the greatest crimes against humanity, that is of course when the US was not itself committing these crimes unilaterally or as part of the NATO alliance.

But, if the US is the world’s “policeman”, it has certainly become a fat, lazy and corrupt bully with a badge, much like our new generation of police who lie, commit perjury, levy unjust fines and glory in their abuses of law as they prey upon the unarmed who mistakenly thought they would be provided justice.

The world’s emerging powers, and especially the nations of the Non-aligned Movement, have engaged in peaceful cooperation and are rightfully seeing the US and a source of graft and corruption that is used to fund ever-greater levels of tyranny and abuse.  The US government is now like the local police department that funds itself through writing more and more useless and baseless traffic tickets so it can hire more police who will also write more and more useless and baseless traffic tickets. 

While the US adheres to the Hobbsian Myth, the rest of world is finally beginning to see that the US is not an indispensable agent for justice and cooperation, but instead a detriment to peace, justice and prosperity.  As the US becomes more and more belligerent and corrupt, the nations of the world are rightfully beginning to align against it.  It seems that the places where there is “war by all against all” and where life has become “short and brutish”, as the situation Hobbs had surmised would occur without government,  are the very same places the US intervenes and wages war.  The US does not offer peace, it offers desolation to those who oppose it, and then calls this peace.

The world has come to understand Locke’s philosphy of peaceful cooperation and the benefits of comparative advantage in economic matters while the US continues to create instability by manipulating  governments or supporting revolutionaries so as to be able to continue to sell its arms, ammunition and advanced weapon systems to belligerents it has proven to have a knack for manufacturing.  Over the years the US has created a global money monopoly so as to become an international loansharking operation.  In doing this it collects “juice” from developing countries while  corporate lords then buy up Third World assets for pennies on the dollar as governments default as the result of easy IMF and World Bank credit.

As the US empire seeks to be like Napoleon who conquored countries and forced subserviance, it will find just as Napoleon did that its violent victories will be short-lived and will eventually lead to its demise at the hands of billions of people who have individually decided they will no longer suffer the US’s corrupt abuses. 

As the US depletes its treasure and squanders the blood of its patriots in wars of choice it has lied its people into for the benefit of the elite, the rest of the world stands back and watches in stunned amazement that the American people could be so manipulated to believe such obvious lies while stomaching such blatant hypocrisy and arrogance from their government.

As an American patriot, I will revel in the collapse of the American empire and pray its downfall will lead to retribution for the political elite that has led America towards its ruin.  I pray those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, mass frauds that led to the destruction of the peoples’ wealth, treason, the establishment of the police-prison state and the usurpation of the US Constitution will be tried and hung for their crimes.  For the Wall Street criminals who have destroyed the nation’s wealth, they have committed a crime worse than treason by weakening America while giving rise to a criminal elite who revel in theft, fraud and enslavement of the American people.  These criminal elite have betrayed the people and have no allegiance to the nation.  Those who would fight wars on behalf of these global criminals are fools and dupes.  Justice demands that those who further the elites’ criminalty through living by the sword also be subject to die by it.       

I just ask that those too stupid to understand what they are doing not tell me I owe them for fighting for my freedom.  As I have served in the US Army as an officer for 24 years and studied economics, history, war and geopolitics, in doing so have learned better. I say good riddance to a cancerous tumor that is laughingly called “American Exceptionalism”.

Not only is the US no longer the “indispensable nation”, but now nobody wants it around, needs it, nor even likes it.  The nations of the world are seeing that the US exists only to serve itself, much like the US lawyer-politicans and the police stooges they pay to serve as their enforcers.  The US calls its hegemony “international stability” but when its hegemony is challenged the US engages in every international crime and tyranny imaginable and then acts as if it is needed to quell the choas, crimes and violence when actually it is the cause of all the problems.  The US has become a mafia-like protection racket in which nations pay US criminals to not burn down their countries as the US  promises them protection from invasion, occupation, revolution, ethnic and religious sectarianism and terorism for a monthly fee.

Maybe when we Americans begin to rise up as the rest of the world has done, the people will once again be able to taste the sweet fruits of freedom as opposed to living under a two-tiered justice system that offers justice for none while protecting the elites exploitation of the people. 

The problem with Hobbs’ perspective is that while he acknowledged man’s failings when acting individually, he completely overlooked how those failing would represet themselves when the nature of man acted in concert thereby giving these same moral failings synergy.  Hobbs on the other hand understood this and figured that with the power of absolute government comes absolute power.  Hobbs also knew that with man’s moral failings and having absolute power, in the end absolute power  would corrupt absolutely, especially for a nation that revels in and worships power while ofter exercising it just for its own sake.  There is no clearer example of how correct Locke was than in watching the US attempt global dominance.
