Since the beginning of time free thinking can be define as anyone who did not conform to status qua-wherever was social, political or any kind though outside, like Jews refusing to accept Christianity or Islam prescription of the Messiah or political moments from the right or left in19 century. The Blog follows the spirit of Spinoza which challenge not only his own Hebrew roots, but also Christianity with the tolerance of Montaigne. We dedicate this blog to all them were burn for dare to ask.

Transition Time
2013, can be consider a year in transition,
hundred years ago 1913, was previous year of the First World War (1914-1917),
by them Europe was set his path of Imperialism being one of the causes of the conflict which cover
most of the 20th century, ended with fall of Berlin wall. When FDR
provided a solution, to a crisis given by deregulated capitalism come from the
19th Century, Gilded Age, the
elites felt not need to respond or share any of accumulated wealth. By them the
radical workers moments in the period of WWI had suppress the IWW and
Anarchist, after Lenin establish the communist party in Russia as the rule of
the land, the elites did buckle and let Government
control, the Achilles of Capitalism is the tendency the wealth eventually will
end in the hand of the few.
The elites never accepted the Government
Regulation especially, since the working class in US with the promise of mobility
through education, through Government Programs or through the military, the
working class in US accepted this deal, in 1980´s Regan in US and Margaret in
US, began the dismantle this plan, in part to succeeded, they need the corrupt communist
society in Russia, to stop to become any signed of hope, with the collapse of
Berlin Wall, accelerated this transition, but the factors which created the
great depression, were recreated with the meltdown of 2008. The centralize control
of the state has not stop internal corruption, China is putting a land rover in
the moon, but the pollution in the air, poison the water and the food is
choking and killing the population, growth of cancer in China due to the pollution,
the cases in the developed world is reported to growth at 22%. On the hand, Capitalism
in US and Europe (Spain, U.K, Germany) the society is being transform into a Plutocratic
society, where in the US the education is outreach, the gain in this private
education systems is the access to become the decision makers, since through
taxes they get to decided who has the wealth, in general we are speaking to
groups they share some common similarity. Leaving outside many, the have
created a permanent underclass, and many ways they had set seed to a revolution.
To the 1990´s working in fats food, was for teen agers in high school, or Junior
college to have extra cash, but today is the only job, for many families.
While, the research and education is
supported by everyone, but through gate keepers, only few are beneficing,
leaving the many with not options. Capitalism has not fear anymore, of an alternative,
unleashing a brutality through economics and repressions, seeing U.K, Spain, Greece.
A corrupted centralizes state or
elite of the few having the benefice of the work of the society. The
alternative is to think on the negative, the anyone who can maintain power, not
matter good intentions, his or her interest become the main driving forgetting any
ideals, is not enough to limited time of serving, but system need to be
federal, decentralize, consensus driving. The economy is the wealth produced
but everyone, in any centralize socialist state or elite capitalism, through privilege
given but the rules protecting themselves, limiting anyone, property—especially,
private property, where the rules are set to protect the power of the few, when
through a change, where this privilege is rebuke, a society, where monies and
his transactions is abolished, so there is not more license for the few.
