Threat 5 Financial feudalism.Much has been said out this item already. It does no need to be repeated. However, there is a tendency evident that softens this threat in the eyes of mankind by labelling the financial feudalism as merely: usury. Although this label is technically correct, the term, usury, is incomplete in defining the nature of the threat. Feudalism has a much deeper root that is related to the denial of Truth. The rentier system that applies to components of the productive economy of a nation, represents a fundamental impediment of the productive process itself. It represents a 'patent' claim against the human intellect that is manifest in the productive processes by which mankind exists. No person, institution, or power, has a right to such a claim, for such a claim is fundamentally a claim for the divisibility of Truth. It is not money that causes production, nor is it the land that peasants rent from their lord, but it is the ingenuity of the human mind and its expression in productivity, that achieves production. Society has full rights to the profits of this expression, 100% of it. Any claim to the contrary is a denial of Truth and its reflection in the nature and quality of man. It must be understood that the current world-financial disintegration which is largely driven by the emptiness of fictitious capitalization, is a separate issue from financial feudalism. In other words, it is possible that the disintegration crisis may be resolved by some process of accommodation without anyone addressing the issue of financial feudalism. Each of the two issues have separate roots, which must be addressed individually, although not necessarily separated in time. If the disintegration is addressed without addressing feudalism, the resulting package will have to be worse, for then, it carries the brunt of looting and becomes more potent as a destructive agent, and a more potent threat against the development of mankind and the human potential. Truth is a key cornerstone in the security structure of human civilization. Without it, looting will tear the whole structure to the ground, as indeed, its has done for centuries. Mankind cannot afford to negate the value of Truth and its reflection in the principles of economy. If it does, the result is self-denial, which is a pre-stage to suicide. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
