What's Fascism?

What's Socialism?

I discuss Socialism, Communism, and Fascism to help you understand how important it is to have at least a rudimentary understanding of these philosophies to make sense of what's that happening in our world, and our country today.

The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future. Klaus Schwab, WEF

Every movement in human history started with an individual or a small group of determined people. A much larger group followed the core group, and a ripple effect took place, which in the end became a revolution. Those at the center, almost and always, know more than other outward layers involved in a movement. The vast majority of those participating in movements are not aware of what they are doing or even want! They simply follow the mass!

I found the story of Faust to be very relevant in our time. 

We will see all around us people who either have sold or will sell their souls to the Devil. The allure of power, control, and even perhaps a chance at immortality are potent motivations to these people.

We have figured out humans. 

We know how the human body works. 

We have discovered the secrets of DNA and mapped the human genome.

We can manipulate the body, fool it and even control it.

We drug them and make them happy or sad.

We have mastered human biology and biochemistry.

We have deciphered the mysteries of human hardware.

Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Achaemenian Empire. His empire, stretching from the Aegean Sea to the Indus River, was the largest that had ever existed at the time of his rule. Cyrus pieced his kingdom together using a mixture of conquest and diplomacy, attesting to his skills as a warrior and a statesman.

How an entire population becomes mentally ill?

The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste preferring to deify error if error seduce them.

Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master. Whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

Whether you believe in god or not, whether you believe in Satan or not, it does not make any difference. The forces of Good and Evil, from the beginning of time, have been in conflict. Earth is the battleground and the grand prize is the human soul. Choose your side wisely. It's about your eternal damnation or Salvation! 

Arash Kamangir is the legendary archer of Iranian history. He was the Persian national hero who sacrificed his life to preserve the territorial integrity of Iran. The name Arash remains popular among speakers of Iranian languages. Tiregan, the summer solstice celebrates the life of Arash Kamangir.
