The World of Dictatorships According to the USA

In case you haven’t noticed, there are thunderstorms across the Sahara desert. Half of the Arab world is on fire, people from Tunisia to Yemen are rallying the streets demanding a better future. You would think that the Obama administration would at least send its best wishes to the protesters. You’d be wrong. The reason is very simple – human rights and democracy rhetorics are only used when the interests of the US government and the crumbling regime don’t match. In cases like Tunisia and Egypt, human rights and democracy can actually clash with vital US policies, therefore every US government would ultimately prefer to have a reliable friendly dictatorship, preferably a long lasting one, in which everything depends on a single person that can be wined and dined in the White House and easily persuaded to do “the right thing”.

And there’s nothing wrong with this approach. Countries like France and Britain have used it for ages. Openly. The problem with US policy is that its main inspiration is exactly the denial of self interest, after all America was founded as a political alternative to Europe, where kings and queens used to decide the fates of whole nations in the same fashion they used to decide what to wear at a dinner party. There was a brief period in history when America really lived up to its ideals. But when it grabbed 1/3 of Mexico and tasted the sweet sangria of forceful diplomacy, something cracked. America became as European in its diplomatic approach as any other empire from the Old World. And while WW2 and the Cold War presented an amazing opportunity for political charade with idealistic notes, after the end of Communism, there is no reliable ideological veil under which America can continue to perform the role of the Altruistic Freedom Fighter. Someone should just alert the casting director.

But let’s be realistic. The dichotomy in US Foreign Policy will continue, ultimately undermining the otherwise noble principle of Human Rights itself. And if it’s true that relations between countries can be compared to relations between human individuals, the word “dichotomy” should actually be replaced by “hypocrisy”.

Real democracy is still an unattainable ideal, and even then, there is no system in the world as a basis, rule or sense of comparison for evaluation of full and genuine democracy, and neither can exist, because we have to get on their essence and see who benefits. All nations must be free, sovereign and independent of any imperialist interference, to design and build the process of democracy and freedom, as their ideals of development or social, cultural, political and economic, claim always to ensure the sovereignty and independence national. Therefore, the will of an absolute majority of people in change and to defend an ideal that meets the interests or wishes of the majority of the population, can also constitute itself as a process of freedom and democracy when it happens, when tens of million people come to the conclusion that one can not keep living like this and thus chose the path of social revolution for national liberation. The processes of democracy are diverse and reflect the political, social and cultural development of each nation. Democracies are based on fundamental principles and practices not in uniform because there is no real model, perfect shape, or full copy of Democracy in the world, and there is no single model that fits all regions and all countries. The system by which governs the self-centered, arrogant, extremist imperial regime of the United States of America, which to judge the champion of "democracy" for example, is nothing but a tyrannical power of the bourgeoisie and monopoly capital. Since, in the organization of American political power, all powers are united in the hands of the ruling class, which does not allow any threat to its rule, and that can not be contradicted, criticized or have organized opposition unfavorable prerogatives, ideals or bourgeois principles, for the capital and the interests of the bourgeoisie in the first place and has to be defended at any cost. And, as a result, the U.S. imperial tyrannical regime, is always compressed in the narrow confines of the farm, and therefore always remains in essence a scheme for the minority bourgeois exploiter, uniquely for the propertied classes, only for the rich. Therefore, the functions of political institutions of democracy "are to ensure the bourgeois class rule (dictatorship) of the bourgeoisie and their privileges. The Democratic and Republican parties are colluding with the commitments it has privileged minority, that is, each is supported by limited groups of the bourgeoisie and monopoly capital, which seek only to enrich and serve its own interests. "Democracy is for the American empire, as the U.S. rule, dictate the rules, and subjugate the people undergoing the condition and position of servitude, exploitation, passivity, dependence, obedience, submission, subservience and control, but when people surged and try to put themselves or to oppose against the interference, greed, domination, tyranny or will U.S. interests - then this will be considered a dictatorship to the U.S. Empire. " And so, failing to pray in the booklet of the United States of America, these people are persecuted, and their free and fair elections are considered by the empire of illegal or fraudulent, because the U.S. imperialists will only accept elections regimes harmless, helpless, puppets Subservient, supportive and minions of the Empire. Moreover, the government elected by those free peoples who do not accept being subject to the whims of the United States of America, are always labeled or buffeted of totalitarian tyranny, dictatorship and its enemies. And conflict with U.S. interests, which are the greatest tyranny in the world, so ready, comes from the U.S. empire, open treatment, hostile and unfair, animosity inflicted with all free nations - and thus disappearing - the so extensively propagated and proclaimed the words "Liberty" and "Democracy" that used hypocritically by the empire as a strategy, the masses of people to undergo a terrible brainwashed, mesmerized and conditioned to believe that the innocent or to accept the U.S.; as full "Democracy. " All nations must be free, sovereign and independent of any imperial power, for so the process of building democracy and freedom in accordance with its ideals of development, or social, cultural, political and economic. And, indeed, to gain autonomy and freedom, fearless people of free nations must constantly fight the direct or indirect interference in its internal affairs. For it is only applicable to the native peoples of a nation or territory, form an opinion critical of the exercise or performance of his government, and whatever form of government established. And so is only applicable to the native peoples of a free nation, the overthrow of political power drivers side, they deem to be stewards despots, demagogues, corrupt, crooks, opportunists and profiteers, and all this must be done without interference of any foreign imperial power. You can not defend the dictatorship of the USA in relation to the world, or defending any dictatorship, but the people truly free, sovereign and independent of any force or imperial power, should always lay the foundations and goals to constantly strive for building the process of democracy and freedom, as their development ideals that bring them benefits.

Many of us in the US have a solution. We have begged to become independent of other countries for energy for years and are able with our own natural resources. Our President won't allow it. The world sees him as 'good'? He's really the opposite. The internal workings don't usually make it to world media and our media outlets are extremely immature. So I can't blame people outside the US for thinking the way you do.

I have absolutely no doubt that in America there are people who strongly oppose the predominant foreign policy. I don't think the world sees Obama as necessarily 'good', he's more like 'better than the previous'. Remembering the pure blatant arrogance of the Bush years, it's really hard to blame us that we strive to find at least a spark of hope in Obama. On the other hand, regardless of the internal workings, it's the final result that matters. I really hope that someday people like you become as numerous as it is needed for this much anticipated shift to happen. America deserves much more than its current clique of rulers.

I would have to agree. Unfortunately, our rule is no longer "by the people, for the people," as was initially intended, but "by the rich, for the rich." American Politics is an elitist club. Decisions aren't made with the whole in mind anymore, but along the thought process of "how can I make myself and my chums MORE MONEY?" For example, our middle and lower classes are suffering. Unemployment in this country is at a record high. Our national debt is embarrassingly high and continues to skyrocket. Yet, there were more new millionaires last year than ever before in this country. Seems like something isn't right...
