The Move Towards Privatization

The United States, WTO, GATT, IMF are moving towards radical privatization. Corporate interests dominate in both the Democratic and Republican parties with powerful lobbying. The end results of privatization are equal to radical state ownership or communism. Each direction is it's fulfillment; Monopolistic control, limited autonomy and abuses in human rights.

Each direction is it's fulfillment and produces a totalitarian control with no human rights or individual autonomy. Historical examples of the twentieth century reveal Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Mao Tse Tung. This is not meant to be negative predictions. I'm just putting the equation together. In both cases, that of state owned communism and that of corporate monopolistic/ state owned plutocracy, the middle class is eliminated in favor of an aristocracy; where the small ruling class of elites control while the remainder exist in the large, poor, uneducated masses, exploited in harsh servitude.

The center of balance in both radical state ownership and radical privatization rests in open democracy with both state ownerships and private ownerships with degrees of regulatory controls. There must be limits, eliminating monopolistic control and the mergers that create giant corporate entities and regulate for smaller, more numerous and openly competitive capitalism. Open democracy resides in the population of masses being both educated and actively participating in political dialogue. Open democracy resides in the pragamatisitic views which put aside ethics, religious and cultural agendas, personal and group ideologies and theologies into individual compartments - rooms, meeting each other outside in the unity of the common lobby which works towards justice in unity from diversity. Open democracy moves towards peaceful, integral means, providing the conditions that promote growth towards higher diversely balanced unity. Plato spoke of true harmony as the beautiful - the symmetry of a finely tuned orchestra of multiplicities - dualism within unity. Dionysus meets Apollo, quantum meets causal mechanics, the ever moving, flowing and the changing (relative within boundaries), of the center point.
