What is American Corporatism?

By Robert Locke
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, September 13, 2002

Unlike socialism, corporatism understands that direct government ownership of the means of production does not work, except in the limiting case of infrastructure.¹ But it does not represent a half-way condition between capitalism and socialism. This is what the West European nations, with their mixed economies in which government owned whole industries, tried to create until Thatcherism. Corporatism blends socialism and capitalism not by giving each control of different parts of the economy, but by combining socialism's promise of a government-guaranteed flow of material goods with capitalism's private ownership and management.

Civil Religion and Modernity: Machiavelli and Locke

clipper's remarks: A great piece about the necessity of civil religion in the modern state.

Clip Source: federalistnowandforever.wordpress.com

Civil religion was a vital part of ancient life, religion and politics were joined harmoniously. With the dawn of Christianity, a religion whose focus is not on the state primarily but on the afterlife, the world slowly began to change. Religion was often used to divide rather than unify the commonwealth. Modernity’s problem with Christianity came at the dawn of the Reformation, where Christianity was used to pull people apart and start wars between nations who share ethnic, cultural and religious ties. America is the shinning product of modern thought; the brain child of men such as Niccolo Machiavelli and John Locke.

On Locke's First Treatise: Paternal and Regal Power

Wed, 07 May 2008 21:15:21 GMT

Clip Source: federalistnowandforever.wordpress.com

Having completed his introduction of Sir Robert Filmer’s work Patriarcha, Locke endeavors to explore the arguments made by Filmer. The first argument made is that of Paternal and Regal power. The argument for absolute monarchy according to Locke is far above anything man can think of, so high in fact “that Promises and Oaths, which tye the infinite Deity, cannot confine it.” This is a curious way of describing the idea behind absolute monarchy but upon further inspection one might find that even God cannot be described as an absolute Monarch in the manner in which Filmer uses the words. But if Locke is able to demonstrate that the logic used for absolute monarchy is faulty, then man can start a new with government by consent; Locke ends with “using their Reason to unite together into Society.”

clipper's remarks: An interesting perspective on the first chapter of John Locke's First Treatise on Government

Clip Source: federalistnowandforever.wordpress.com

Authors of the generation in which Locke is writing, and the previous generations are said by him to have “flatter[ed] princes with an Opinion” this opinion being that despite the laws which constituted their authority, and are to govern under, they have absolute power under the title of Divine Right. They are not restrained by “Oaths and Promises” because their authority does not come from those, whom they govern, or from the laws but rather from God Himself.

On Locke's First Treatise of Gov't

Sun, 04 May 2008 01:53:54 GMT

clipper's remarks: A blogger looks carefully at the full significance of Locke beginning his treatise with the word "slavery." How, in deliberating types of gov't, can we enslave ourselves?

Clip Source: federalistnowandforever.wordpress.com

The notion that we are all slaves to a single human, a fallible person, is not present in our own human reason or in the Divine Scripture, where one would expect to find Divine Right authority promulgated first. Natural freedom and equality are the older opinions of mankind, not absolute Authority of a single man. Locke even argues that Filmer assents to this belief, that his opinion is the junior.

Travellers to be hit with transit visa costs

Travellers from many Asian and African countries are to face an extra $120 charge for flying through New Zealand, after the Government yesterday announced new transit visa requirements.

Under the new rules, from Friday thousands of people spending just a few hours here before heading anywhere else in the world will require the correct visa.

The 57 countries which already have visa-free status with New Zealand are unaffected by the initiative, as are citizens of 15 other countries. Passengers with a valid visa allowing them to travel onwards to Australia or to come to New Zealand will also not be affected.

However, citizens of some of the world's most populous countries - such as China, India, and Indonesia - will be caught up by the regulations.

Green MP Keith Locke called the transit visa scheme a slap in the face to South Pacific countries, and predicted a drop in tourism revenue for airports and airlines.

"The move is not justified on security grounds," Mr Locke said.

clipper's remarks: It bureaucracy gone mad

Transit visas soon to be required

The government is changing the rules for transit passengers.

Immigration Minister Clayton Cosgrove says as of Friday, transit visas will be needed for all people travelling via New Zealand unless they're specifically exempted by immigration policy.

He says the change is due to increased security requirements and changing travel patterns.

Mr Cosgrove says the new policy will strengthen risk management and future proof border control.

The change is being condemned by the Green Party.

Green MP Keith Locke says it is bureaucracy gone mad and will disadvantage travellers from poorer countries.

He says Asian and African tourists travelling via Auckland will now need an extra visa and that may make them choose other travel options.

Early 21st Century Revisits the Early 20th Century

clipper's remarks: "Collectivism has been like a chronic disease in the body politic ever since the birth of Liberal Individualism in the 18th Century. For Locke, there was Rousseau. The American Revolution contrasted with the French Revolution and its guillotine. America had George Washington and Europe had Napoleon. Lincoln saved the Union as Marx was promoting Communism in Europe. . For the last 300 years we in the Western world have been living in the midst of a struggle between the forces of Liberal individualism and the forces of collectivism."

"Communism and fascism dominated much of 20th Century history as the alternative to Liberal individualism and free markets. Democratic socialism is still eating away at European societies, which grow poorer and more sclerotic every year as they continue to declare the superiority of their model to American individualism."

We are doomed to repeat history.

A new fascist movement is on the rise, and proponents of individual liberty are losing ground.

Left-wingers often accuse conservatives of being fascists, but the reality is that fascism is simply another form of collectivism, like socialism and communism. The differences, such as they exist, are marginal between these collectivist ideologies when viewed from the perspective of Liberalism. Fascism idolizes the state, socialists idolize “society” and communists idolize “humanity” as a whole.

What holds these ideologies together is much stronger than what divides them: they are all dedicated to the proposition that the rights and desires of individuals are properly subsumed by the needs of the whole. Individualism is selfishness, rights are collective, and the “good” of the whole is the true measure of society.

Tibet free trade agreements the facts

clipper's remarks: needed more facts later in the day PM concerned NZ Ambassador in China to convey deep concern

Clip Source: www.nzherald.co.nz

Helen Clark has asked New Zealand's Ambassador in Beijing, Tony Browne, to convey New Zealand's "deep concern" about the violence in Tibet, and urged China to react "carefully" to protesters.

"In New Zealand we do respect the right of people to protest peacefully and we urge the Chinese authorities to react carefully and proportionately," she said yesterday.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister had been treading more cautiously, saying she was concerned but needed more facts.

Green MP Keith Locke supported an uprising in Tibet, she said.

"It has never been any New Zealand Government's position that Tibet should be independent, so we start from a completely different point of view."

If New Zealand traded and entered into trade agreements only with countries with which it had identical interests and views, "then apart from Ireland and Switzerland and Scandinavia, it would be pretty thin pickings".
