talkpoliticsThere are people who believe that domination is a glorious institution. They associate the institution of dominance with freedom and anything opposed to it as subjugation. It is a mindset that has its roots in the institution of chattel slavery. The free dominate and everyone else is enslaved to their will.
When conservatives scream the bloody curse of "socialism," what they truly fear is the end of dominance. The last thing they want is for the emancipation of oppressed people. That poses a threat to their traditional role as oppressors. They fear the unknown condition that waits on the other side of the act of emancipation as a caged lion fears the unknown domain of the wild.
The freedom to dominate is not the only freedom there is. Conservatives have yet to consider the greater freedom that comes when domination is not longer a viable option. The freedom from having to dominate is something outside of their realm of consideration.
What do you hold as a glorious condition? Does it include a hint of bondage?

Date: 13/8/09 16:38 (UTC)Conservatives curse socialism because it represents government domination. It's the exact opposite of emancipation, it's oppression by design.

I didn't know that arsenic was a required mineral.

It may not be the greatest number of congregants, but it is on the rise. We've even had support from individual communicants of the Franciscan and Benedictine persuasions.
