Totalitarianism and control

Totalitarianism and control

The mission of government is to defend people. And for making that thing, the government must have the power to protect itself. The purpose of police and other governmental institutions is to protect weaker people, and sometimes we are facing reality, that the government doesn't please us. When we are thinking about the role of the police, we must say that if the majority is always right, we would not need that organization. But somehow sometimes minorities are right, and the majority makes crimes against them. In that case, the mission of the police is to find out things, that happened.

The laws are made for giving certain rules, how people should act in each situation. The principles of law is that thing is common, and every people must have the same punishment if they are breaking the laws. And if a person has made the same crimes before, that must be noticed by the judge, and in this case, the person should turn to warn other people that breaking the law is not the right way to act.

When we are thinking that the purpose of the police work is to remove dangerous people from the streets, we must remember that the description of the word "dangerous" is really important. Is the dangerous person just criticizing the way, how the government acts? Or does that person agitate people attack against the leaders of the state? This is the major question when we are talking about the use of force. 

Words are not just words. They can do very many bad things for people if they are used for the wrong purpose. Liberty of the press and publishing are always arguments, that are also used to support non-democratic movements. So every government must sometimes take apart in the writings. Also when we are talking about the role of the government in society, that must have the authority to make the life of people safe. Government and police are created to defend people against anarchy. But sometimes the government goes too far and turns to dictatorship.

Thing, what makes totalitarianism attractive is that every responsibility is in the government, which makes the decision, and people must just follow the rules. This would let people go easily because they must not think anything. The only thing that must be done is to obey the rulers, and if somebody has different opinions, that kind of person must be taught to stop thinking. Why we must think about things when other people are doing that thing?

Or rather saying, who would be attracted about the case, that we don't use our brains. When we are seeing history the totalitarian governments are always won democratic governments is the argument, what is supporting totalitarianism, but is it the truth and nothing about the truth? The thing is that sooner or later the power of the government goes in the hands of despots, and then the revolution would end the era of that government.

But the order must return to society, and this is the thing that we must remember when we are thinking about the tough actions of the secret police of the Soviet Union. The nation was in anarchy in 1923 and order must be returned by using rough police force. And that argument was used when secret police arrested millions of people, but that thing cost the lives of millions of people. But it doesn't make those actions more beautiful.

But when we are thinking about liberalism, that thing can also go too far. And then people are starting to want orders and regulations back. 

In this version, the society acts like some kind of pendulum, when the society has turned to dictatorship, the society would start to look for freedom, and then the pendulum of society goes to the other far wing position, what makes people need order. That means that the far wing liberalism is not good for the nation. And finding the middle-way version between totalitarianism and liberalism is really difficult. When we are thinking of the government purely as the user of the force, we are finding two ways to make that thing.

The first version is to build a powerful police organization, which would come to place only when something happens. That kind of force is using rough force and that seems not good in the public media. This version would be supported by powerful censorship. The other version is to build the organization's mission is to predict the illegal action and then arrest those people before they are causing problems. And that is making possible to build dictatorship by using secret arresting. But the same system can be used to detect dangerous actors in society. And here we should describe the word "dangerous".

The problem of an authoritarian government is that thing that needs a powerful police force. That kind of police force could be that those people need work to do, or that kind of work turns boring. And when we are thinking about things like a speeding ticket, we must not like that thing. Those payments are needed for punishments and teach us that we are breaking the law, but the thing is that there are two kinds of police actions. Right and wrong. Wrong is to use the police to protect despotism. The right is to prevent things like violence, or this is the way, how I want to believe that thing is.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
