1. The Stolen Words
Democracy, republic, freedom, people. These are words that should evoke justice and dignity. Instead, today, they are empty shells. The Caste has emptied them of meaning, using them to justify the exact opposite of what they should represent.
Voting is an act of abdication: you renounce your sovereignty to hand over your power to a stranger for years, without being able to revoke it. And politicians, thanks to norms like Article 67 of the Italian Constitution, must legally do the opposite of what they promised, and indeed are obliged to serve the exclusive interests of the nation. But who is the nation? The nation is that 5% that owns more than the sum of what the 95% owns. It is legalized betrayal.
And this is not only true in Italy. The European Union has the same mechanisms: European parliamentarians, commissioners and judges enjoy the same immunities. It is the model of the global Caste. All European countries have an article like Article 67. All countries under the rule of oligarchs.
2. The Iron Triad
Three giants of sociological thought — Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca and Robert Michels — have scientifically demonstrated that representative democracy is not government by the people. It is government by an organized minority over a disorganized majority.
- Pareto called it «demagogic plutocracy»: government by the rich hidden behind the mask of democracy.
- Mosca proved that in every society a «political class» dominates, regardless of the form of government.
- Michels formulated the «iron law of oligarchy»: who says organization says oligarchy.
It is an iron law, not an opinion. And it applies in any country, under any flag.
3. The Criminal Caste
Oligarchs, speculators, corruptors, warmongers. A single network of complicity that has plundered the planet for decades. They control central banks, media, parties. When things go wrong, the State — that is, you, with your taxes — bails them out. You, on the other hand, have to manage to survive as best you can.
4. The Ignorant Caste
Professional politicians who do not know how the people live. They have never queued at the post office, never counted coins at the supermarket. Their ignorance is the shield protecting the criminal Caste. "Tell us what you expect from the next government" they ask you. That is the confession.
5. Information and Propaganda
Propaganda is the theft of thought. It serves to manipulate minds and turn citizens into obedient subjects. In the Community of Sovereigns, propaganda will be a crime against Personal Sovereignty. Because information makes you sovereign, propaganda makes you a slave.
6. The Monetary System as a Weapon
Public debt is not a budget problem: it is a wealth capture device. Private banks create money out of nothing and lend it with interest. Inflation is not a natural phenomenon: it is the final scam.
7. Paper Rights
Healthcare, work, housing: promises carved into Constitutions, betrayed in reality. Co-pays, waiting lists, precariousness, unsustainable rents. Rights, without material guarantees, are worthless paper.
8. The Myth of the Founding Fathers
They were not saints. They were men of their time. They wrote norms that legalize betrayal (absence of binding mandate), that guarantee immunity for parliamentarians, that opened the door to predatory capitalism. Above all, they did not know the iron law of oligarchy. We can and must criticize them.
