To Tiffany,
Women want strong men. When times are hard they take what they can get. When times are easy they only want the top 20%. That is biology. You should study that and include it in your thinking. Socialism is a female disease – mostly. The State becomes the provider. The Ds are the woman’s Party. The Rs are the man’s Party. Generally. Women are 51% of the population. – Guess which way things are going to go? Until it doesn’t. If you leave out reproductive biology your analysis is incomplete. Have a look at “The Rational Male” also “The Futurist“. Cultural Marxism is the empowerment of females.
You also have the two cultures. Low density culture is capitalistic. High density culture is socialistic. They have different thermodynamics. Low density is high energy per capita. High density is low energy per capita.
They also breed differently. High energy is more children. Low energy is fewer children. All this has a bearing on the two cultures. It is all about The Thermodynamics of Politics. Also good in that regard is The Blue And The Red.
