The American experiment: recovery, revolution or resignation (to decline & fall)?
Posted by Dr. Anthony G. Payne
As I put fingers to keyboard (August 2020) it is very evident that America is in very deep trouble. Our chickens have come home to roost. While debates rage about the exact nature and extend of the sins, unredressed wrongs, bad policies, corruption, inequality, racism and xenophobia and such that landed us in such dire straits, and how to address or remedy them, I for one am convinced that neither a left or right wing sociopolitical revolution will have a good outcome. Nor will scraping everything up to and including the Constitution and starting over βfrom scratchβ (The French Committee of Public Safety dictatorship tried their hand at radically reinventing France’s social, economic & political order including introducing a secular Republican calendar and dechristianizing France. These extreme reforms paved the way for the Reign of Terror).
And, mind you, I am a democratic socialist. Iβve been one since 1986. But I also know how often revolutions meant to liberate βthe peopleβ β especially those that took place in the last century β wound up suppressing dissent and even eliminating dissenters (and other βundesirablesβ) by often cruel, inhuman means.
In light of human nature as reflected in history, it is difficult to imagine that any revolution-spawned modern day government, no matter how benign its intentions, will be able to resist relying on sophisticated surveillance, cyber warfare and AI technologies to βmanageβ its people and fend off its enemies (Real or imagined/contrived).
