The Canadian Illusion of Democracy
The political definition of Canada is a constitutional monarchy and not a republic. Nevertheless, Canada calls itself democratic. We do not talk about direct democracy; we talk about representative democracy. The representative democracy of Canada is combined with a capitalistic economy. The economic system has become part of the political reality, and superficially, this Canadian system seems to work. Compared with countries in South America, Africa or Asia, a high life standard is recognizable and human rights seem to be respected.
The political system of Canada does not work; it is neither democratic nor fair. The structure and organisation of the political as well as the economic system is not acceptable and changes are necessary for a fair and just society.
In Canada, a representative democracy has evolved. Before the analyzing of this element of the Canadian society, more knowledge about democracy and representative democracy in general is needed. Democracy developed in ancient Greece, in Athens. In Athens, with less than forty thousand franchised citizens, a direct democracy was possible. All male adults met on a public place where they discussed and voted about any issues. Even this democracy was restricted and bribery was legal. This system worked only for a society with a limited number of inhabitants. The next democracy attempt was in ancient Rome, the Roman republic. The Roman Republic was corrupted and characterized by the class struggle between patrician and plebeians. This attempt ended with the murder of Caesar. After this occurrence, the idea of democracy was dead for over 1’500 years, until the idea was redeveloped in the Renaissance. Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 – 1527) was the first one who resumed the idea of democracy; Machiavelli refused the idea of democracy. Accorded to him, democracy degenerate into uncontrolled anarchy. Machiavelli preferred monarchy, although he thought that no political system works. The American Revolution (1776) was the next try for democracy. But, because of the income-dependant permission to vote, it was just an oligarchy. Income-independent democracies, including right for women to vote, have existed since the end of the Second World War.
This chapter shows: democracy is neither fair nor just, not even direct democracy. It is also to realize: representative democracy is not real democracy and the people are not sovereign.
With critical look at democracy, it is obvious that democracy is nothing else than a dictatorship of the majority over the minority. All citizens have to show solidarity with the majority. In fact, they have to do what the majority tells them to do. Sometimes, a decision is founded on a big majority, but often a fifty-one-percent majority wins. Forty-nine percent of the people, essentially half of the population, may have to something what they do not support. Perhaps they have to fight a war, have to kill other people or might even be killed. Although worse events than a war might be dictated, let’s follow this example. Fifty-one percent of the population decided on conscription. Troops will be sent to fight and many of the soldiers will die. The soldiers, who will be sent to kill, are men aged between twenty and forty; they are less than one quarter of the franchised people. But the other seventy-five percent of the population can vote about the issue without having any consequences. Women and elder men can decide over the destiny of millions of soldiers without even having to touch a gun. Let’s get that straight: in a democracy, certain people can dictate the actions of others, they can even decide over life and death. And they decide without have to be afraid of any consequences.
Now someone might say: we have minority and individual rights to protect everyone. This person seems to forget that the majority rules and also creates the minority and individual rights. The majority might give the minorities some space, but it does not have to, it is the majority’s decision. Democracy’s good reputation to be fair serves the majority to legitimize not giving any power to minorities. Instead, the majority talks about equal rights and duties, rights and, above all, duties that support the majority. In Canada, an excellent example proves it: the dictatorship of federal government, controlled by the population majority living in St. Lawrence - Low Land region, over the insignificant provinces in the east and west. In Canada, all provinces must pay taxes to the federal government, that is their duty, but with these taxes the federal government finances programs to support the society and economy in Ontario and Quebec, the majority. The majority also controls education, morality and even religion, through laws and privileges; it supports its favourite and destroys the opposition. Because of this control and immense power, the majority shapes the people. Like a vampire, the majority steels the blood, the life elixir, of the minorities and destroys them through assimilation. Obviously, democracy destroys the freedom of the people by creating equal right and duties. The example shows that equal rights and duties allow the majority to assimilate the minorities. This infernal meanness destroys the freedom of any minority as well as any individual: if the provinces query this abuse, they are made in the name of democracy to be quiet. They are made in the name of theory, which is built to rule them, to keep their mouth closed. If this threat is not enough, the federal government forces its will on the provinces by controlling their economy. Because the federal government controls the economy of the provinces, it controls the whole province, then social service including education, morality and religion, is financed by the economy. The federal government, the St. Lawrence – Low Lands region controls every single province and controls the whole country.
That is already a first step into the main problem: democracy is a class struggle between a majority, a beast with wide-opened mouth trying to devour and to assimilate every opposition, the minorities. The inexorable wave of the majority hits the coast where the despairing minorities try to hide themselves behind the sand corns. But the majority tries incessant to destroy and assimilate the minorities, which spend all their energy in a fight they have already lost, only to expand the triumph of the majority.
Out of this repeating process a new domino theory evolves: Any society consist, in its origin, of a lot of minorities. A number of minorities build a coalition and assimilates the other, unprotected minorities. When it is done, the majority splits again (every minority, which was a member of the coalition separates again), a new coalition is built and the remaining minorities are assimilated. This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world. The theory will be proven in remaining chapters of the essay.
In Canada, with millions of people spread over millions of meters, direct democracy is not possible. An even worse form of democracy rules Canada: representative democracy. In a representative democracy the problem of the class struggle is even worse; inside the majority, the people split themselves in a class of easy corruptible politicians and the rest, the deceived majority and the assimilated minorities. The intellectual leaders of the majority aim themselves against their own mother, who raised them, and stab in her back. These people, who deceived the ones who trusted them, are called: politicians.
Politicians, in a representative-democratic state, are the elected leaders of the country, they decide what will happen and what not. In fact they have the absolute power of the country in their hands. The whole power of the most powerful democratic nations is in the hands of a few, usually not even five hundred persons: the politicians. In Canada, the Senate has 105 members and the House of Commons includes 301 representatives; that is a total of 406 politicians. This small bunch of people has the right to rule over 30 million human beings. Every politician represents 75,000 people, and obviously, that is not possible. Another shared point: this ruling class of politicians is, like every human being, corruptible. Instead of corrupt 75,000 persons, one human being can be corrupted. It is not possible to bribe thirty million people, but for an influential person, it is no problem to buy 406 human beings. Well, there seem to be some people who believe that the elite is not corruptible. But would they say the same, if I held them a gun at their head or have their children in my power? – Definitively not. Representatives are not only a corruptible, inequality-supporting element, but they also endanger themselves and their families. Of course, another question is asked: how and why do the politicians deceive the people, the deceived majority and assimilated minority?
First politicians try to do what their voters expect. But that is impossible, because they have their own personality, they are independent human being and cannot do it right for thirty millions other humans. It is not possible that one human being makes 75’000 others content by governing. The politicians are not created to do what the people want, they are persons with their ideas and dreams: The consequence is following: the people can only elect their boss, but they have no chance to have real influence. In fact, any democratic state is controlled by the class of politicians and not by the majority. The class of the politicians decides if the want to do what the people expect or to pursue its own self-interest. Most politicians, after they are elected, make the people to walk with them; they do not listen to the people. They keep faith with their conviction, but not with the people. We learnt: This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world. The politicians’ power could be trimmed, if, the people could initiate referendums, for example with signature-based conditions for a vote on an issue or law. Unfortunately, in Canada, referendums out of the people are not possible. The Canadian politicians have unrestricted power. But that is already an element of the structure of the Canadian government.
This chapter talks about the structure of the Canadian government and proves: a majority government, in Canada, is a totalitarian dictatorship. It will go into the practice and show concrete examples. Like why the not elected Senate is abused as an element to control the minorities. This chapter will confirm the preceded, theoretical part, and it shows how we can get a fairer and more just Canada. The errors of democracy cannot be changed, but, at least, inside this system, improvements are possible and necessary.
If one party has 151 or more seats in the House of Commons, a majority government rules, the Canadians live in a dictatorship. Later, It will be shown that the party has total control over their members, but at this point and time it is taken as a fact. Let’s translate today’s House of Commons with this fact. There is one dominating political idea, the Liberals with strength of 172 seats, who rules about the three others, the Conservatives, the New Democrats and the Bloc Quebecois. One party, so one idea, controls the country. One idea rules, this idea has no border. Nobody is equal to it. The politicians support this idea, neither the majority, nor the assimilated minorities. Anyway, the idea controls everything, the armed forces, the education, health care, morality and religion. Every citizen is totally depending on the idea; so indirect, the idea controls everything. There is no freedom, no chance to escape. If the idea does not like ketchup, it will forbid it. The idea can change the constitution or pass any bill. The idea has the power to ignore the “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” or to declare the “War Measures Act”. No one can stop it. The “War Measures Act”, for example, gives the Cabinet dictatorial power and enslaves the people. In case of the “War Measures Act”, we have a one-man dictatorship, because the Prime Minister controls the Cabinet. There is one man, one human being who is the ruler of more than thirty millions. One human being decides what is right and what is wrong, what you are allowed to say and what not. The Prime Minister controls every institution, every rule and no one is protected. Some people might say: there are certain rules, even with the “War Measures Act”. And, above all, after five years there will be another election. These people seem to forget: there is a totalitarian dictator who controls the military, the education, police officers and fire fighters and health care. If this totalitarian dictator decides not to have elections, who is going to stop him – nobody will be able to do it. The totalitarian dictator, the Prime Minister, is unimpeachable and absolute. It is obvious that the people have nothing to say. If no majority government rules, two or more ideas build a coalition and assimilate the rest. When the rest is assimilated, the strongest idea out of the coalition separates and assimilates the rest. A majority government is in power. The people have only one hope: to trust the class, which deceived them already. This condition is unacceptable.
Again, superficial regarded, Canada seems even to have a small protection for one minority: the regions. The regions seem to be protected by the Canadian Senate. Unfortunately, the truth is not as it looks like. The Canadian Senate does not support the regions; in fact, it works against them and is another element to humiliate the minorities.
The Senate is one of the two legislature chambers. Its members come in equal numbers from the four regions: the West, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. They are appointed for lifetime by the Governor General on advise from the Prime Minister, but in fact, they are appointed by the Prime Minister himself. Let’s get it straight: the Prime Minister, the Canadian totalitarian dictator, appoints one chamber of the legislative. The Prime Minister is also able to increase the number of Senators. If a former Prime Minister appointed still has the majority in the Senate (the Senators are appointed for lifetime), the new Prime Minister increases the number of Senators and has a majority as well. Now to the proof: The Prime Minister will appoint persons who are totally loyal. The Prime Minister himself is the leader of the strongest party of the House of Commons; he is the creator of the everything-controlling and ruling idea. His person embodies the ruling idea. Hence it follows: the Senate does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Instead of representing the regions, the Senate is the slave of the ruling idea, embodied in the dictator, the Prime Minister.
In this chapter the last though is continued: the Prime Minister does not only embody the everything-controlling and ruling idea. The Prime Minister is the ruling idea and all federal politics are a totalitarian dictatorship of the Prime Minister. To recognize this injustice, this chapter analyzes the party-system of Canada and proves: the parties have total control over their members. It will go a step further and prove: the party-leaders have absolute control over the party; therefore, they control all party-members as well.
A political party is a syndicate. All members share one interest: the victory of their idea. An easy debatable question rises: why join these political parties, if the leader controls them anyway? To this question we need a look at history. History teaches us that in any society, in any political system, there is one class, which profits. Sometimes this class is very small, but it exists. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle.”1 The dominating class in the Canadian society is the class of the politicians. The politicians, who support the totalitarian dictator actively, profit and get privileges. The politicians, the profiting class, are recruited out of the members of the leading party. The members join the party to get some privileges, but, above all, because of the chance to get a politician and be benefited. The situation is comparable with China where almost everyone joins the world’s strongest party, the “Communist Party of China”, to get privileges and to be less humiliated (assimilation of the minorities). Canada is going to develop a political one-party system like in China. But instead of threatening with torture and death, the Canadian are bribed by a high life-standard. The Canadian dictator, the Prime Minister, keeps the life-standard high to make the people bend on his will.
The Prime Minister controls the party absolutely. Every party, and organization in general, needs an organ, which governs the party, the committee. The committee has the total power and controls the party, but the committee itself has a leader, a single person, the president. What now happens is obvious. The leader’s power grows. The leader, one human being, begins to control the party. In brief: there will be more than one candidate as leader. One of them will get the majority and assimilates the other-thinking members, the opposition, inside the party. In this process the leader acquires absolute power over the party. A good example for this happening is found in the Russian history, in the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks 1917: 1903 on the second party-congress of the SDWPR, the “Social Democratic Worker Party of Russia”, the party split in two fractions the Bolsheviks under Lenin and the Mensheviks under Martow. Lenin got the majority and 1912 he kicked all Mensheviks off the party, if they did not support him totally. In fact, he assimilated them, then 1918, after the “Bolshevik Revolution” 1917, he forbad all opposition including the few remaining Menshevik. Everyone, who was not a member of the ‘Bolshevik Party’, was humiliated and condemned to a hard life. Till his first stroke in 1922, Lenin was a totalitarian dictator. After this example, it is obvious: the leader of the party becomes the absolute controls over his party. The Prime Minister has absolute control over his totalitarian party. Subsequently, the Prime Minister evolves to a totalitarian dictator. A one-party system, like in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Burma and Cuba, is only a question of time. This new lesson proves the first part of the domino theory as well (“This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, …”). We saw that this minority is as small as possible; it is one human being.
Another factor of the Canadian illusion of a fair and just country is the economic system: capitalism. The ‘Industrial Capitalism’ started in England in the 1750’s. It began with the development of machines, which produced better quantity and quality than home-workers. It degenerated in the ‘Industrial Revolution’, a situation like in today’s third world or worse. With the American and the ‘French Revolution’ (1776 and 1798), capitalism found a new breeding ground in Europe and North America. In this chapter I will analyze the economic system and show: it is a hierarchic system controlled by a few, it is an oligarchic system.
“The market has always been one of exploitation and thereby of domination, insuring the class structure of society.”1 Let’s analyze this quote: There is a dominating market, the heart of capitalism, and an insured class structure of society, the blood of capitalism. And exactly this abuse destroys the human’s freedom. The heart pumps the blood through the body, through the whole capitalist system. To survive in the capitalist system the people are kept so busy, that all their freedom is gone. The people need television, computer, a big house and a fast car to compete with their fellow creatures. The class of capitalists found their best help in the advertising. Advertising helps to cause materialism and consumption, to distort the truth and to manipulate the people. We need more background about the theory of capitalism and how it works in Canada.
The father of capitalism and free enterprise is Adam Smith. In his main work “The Wealth of Nations”, published in 1776, Smith generated three hypotheses:
1.Self-interest benefits society.
2.The profit motive is a value.
3.The government retards progress.
“Every man as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way.”1
Unfortunately, he was wrong. The “Industrial Revolution” and the whole Industrialisation are the best proofs. “More than fifty-seven per cent of the children of the working class and not quite thirty-two per cent of the children of all classes in the country die under five years of age.”2 Today, we know that a certain level of government control over the economy is necessary. “We have competition its own way, and have found that we are not good enough or wise enough to be trusted with this power.”3 The point at issue is how high this level of control should be. This question is the economic class struggle: The working class wants more protection and the employers strive for free enterprise. Both classes are not idealistic; they just follow their self-interest.
Canada has very little government control and few social programs. Right-wing politics rule Canada. The employers control all means of production. They have power over the jobs of the employee. And therefore, the class of the capitalists, the owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labour, has absolute control over the working class. Although the workers are the majority, they cannot protect themselves, because they live in a totalitarian dictatorship. We recognize that we have another dictatorship: the dictatorship of the ruling class of capitalists over the working class. The economic system of Canada is an oligarchy of a very small class of capitalists, the philanthropists and owners of the means of production. This small class control the food production as well as all services, all jobs and the power plants, the resources, minerals and mining companies. This class controls the economy absolutely.
Canada is ruled by two absolute powers, the totalitarian dictator, the Prime Minister and an oligarchy, the class of the means of production-controlling capitalists. Immediately, there is a new question: Which power dominates? From the domino theory we know that the stronger power assimilates the weaker. Who get the better of the other? Who really rules Canada, the totalitarian dictator or the capitalist oligarchy? In this chapter I will prove: In Canada, the economy, the class of capitalists split over the whole world, controls the politics and is totalitarian.
In Canada, there are two, easy to understand, reasons why the economy got the better of politics:
1.The totalitarian dictator of Canada, the Prime Minister, depends on a high life-standard to make the people bend to his will. A high life-standard depends on the economy. The class of capitalists, split over the whole world, controls the Canadian economy.
2.The “Industrial Revolution” also showed that the economy does not need politics to exist. The economy is independent and powerful, too powerful. But the politics must be financed by the economy. The politics depend on an independent economy.
These reasons prove: The economy controls the politics. Therefore, it is proven: Canada is governed by an oligarchy, a small class of capitalists, split over the whole world. It also proves the second part of the domino theory (“… , till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world.”). Because a class of foreigners rules Canada, it is proven that the assimilation knows no borders.
This essay proved: democracy is a dictatorship of the majority over the minorities, and the class of politicians controls the ruling majority. That is the political class struggle: the politicians against the majority.
It also proved my domino theory: Any society consists, in its origin, of a lot of minorities. A number of minorities builds a coalition and assimilates the other, unprotected minorities. When it is done, the majority splits again (every minority, which was a member of the coalition separates again), a new coalition is built and the remaining minorities are assimilated. This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world.
This theory is based on the fact that the Prime Minister is a totalitarian dictator. He is unimpeachable and absolute. Another important fact: the Senate does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Instead of representing the regions, the Senate is the slave of the ruling idea, embodied in the dictator, the Prime Minister. And the Canadian dictator, the Prime Minister, keeps the life-standard high to make the people bend on his will
Because of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Prime Minister, in Canada, a one-party system, like in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Burma and Cuba, is only a question of time.
It also analyzed about the Canadian economy and proved: the Canadian economy is controlled by an oligarchy, the class of capitalists. This small class control the food production as well as all services, all jobs and the power plants, the resources, minerals and mining companies. This class controls the economy absolutely.
The oligarchic economy results in the economic class struggle: capitalists-workers. The capitalists are philanthropists, the person who control the means of production.
But the main proofs are the following: The economy, the class of capitalists, controls the politics totally.
Therefore, Canada is governed by an oligarchy, a small class of capitalists, split over the whole world.
A very sad point is the suppression of any opposition and the destruction of the every individual-right.
The political definition of Canada is a constitutional monarchy and not a republic. Nevertheless, Canada calls itself democratic. We do not talk about direct democracy; we talk about representative democracy. The representative democracy of Canada is combined with a capitalistic economy. The economic system has become part of the political reality, and superficially, this Canadian system seems to work. Compared with countries in South America, Africa or Asia, a high life standard is recognizable and human rights seem to be respected.
The political system of Canada does not work; it is neither democratic nor fair. The structure and organisation of the political as well as the economic system is not acceptable and changes are necessary for a fair and just society.
In Canada, a representative democracy has evolved. Before the analyzing of this element of the Canadian society, more knowledge about democracy and representative democracy in general is needed.

This chapter shows: democracy is neither fair nor just, not even direct democracy. It is also to realize: representative democracy is not real democracy and the people are not sovereign.
With critical look at democracy, it is obvious that democracy is nothing else than a dictatorship of the majority over the minority. All citizens have to show solidarity with the majority. In fact, they have to do what the majority tells them to do. Sometimes, a decision is founded on a big majority, but often a fifty-one-percent majority wins.

Now someone might say: we have minority and individual rights to protect everyone. This person seems to forget that the majority rules and also creates the minority and individual rights. The majority might give the minorities some space, but it does not have to, it is the majority’s decision. Democracy’s good reputation to be fair serves the majority to legitimize not giving any power to minorities.

This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world. The theory will be proven in remaining chapters of the essay.
In Canada, with millions of people spread over millions of meters, direct democracy is not possible. An even worse form of democracy rules Canada: representative democracy. In a representative democracy the problem of the class struggle is even worse; inside the majority, the people split themselves in a class of easy corruptible politicians and the rest, the deceived majority and the assimilated minorities.

In case of the “War Measures Act”, we have a one-man dictatorship, because the Prime Minister controls the Cabinet. There is one man, one human being who is the ruler of more than thirty millions. One human being decides what is right and what is wrong, what you are allowed to say and what not. The Prime Minister controls every institution, every rule and no one is protected. Some people might say: there are certain rules, even with the “War Measures Act”. And, above all, after five years there will be another election. These people seem to forget: there is a totalitarian dictator who controls the military, the education, police officers and fire fighters and health care. If this totalitarian dictator decides not to have elections, who is going to stop him – nobody will be able to do it. The totalitarian dictator, the Prime Minister, is unimpeachable and absolute. It is obvious that the people have nothing to say. If no majority government rules, two or more ideas build a coalition and assimilate the rest. When the rest is assimilated, the strongest idea out of the coalition separates and assimilates the rest. A majority government is in power. The people have only one hope: to trust the class, which deceived them already. This condition is unacceptable.
Again, superficial regarded, Canada seems even to have a small protection for one minority: the regions. The regions seem to be protected by the Canadian Senate. Unfortunately, the truth is not as it looks like. The Canadian Senate does not support the regions; in fact, it works against them and is another element to humiliate the minorities.
The Senate is one of the two legislature chambers. Its members come in equal numbers from the four regions: the West, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. They are appointed for lifetime by the Governor General on advise from the Prime Minister, but in fact, they are appointed by the Prime Minister himself. Let’s get it straight: the Prime Minister, the Canadian totalitarian dictator, appoints one chamber of the legislative. The Prime Minister is also able to increase the number of Senators. If a former Prime Minister appointed still has the majority in the Senate (the Senators are appointed for lifetime), the new Prime Minister increases the number of Senators and has a majority as well. Now to the proof: The Prime Minister will appoint persons who are totally loyal. The Prime Minister himself is the leader of the strongest party of the House of Commons; he is the creator of the everything-controlling and ruling idea. His person embodies the ruling idea. Hence it follows: the Senate does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Instead of representing the regions, the Senate is the slave of the ruling idea, embodied in the dictator, the Prime Minister.
In this chapter the last though is continued: the Prime Minister does not only embody the everything-controlling and ruling idea. The Prime Minister is the ruling idea and all federal politics are a totalitarian dictatorship of the Prime Minister. To recognize this injustice, this chapter analyzes the party-system of Canada and proves: the parties have total control over their members. It will go a step further and prove: the party-leaders have absolute control over the party; therefore, they control all party-members as well.
A political party is a syndicate. All members share one interest: the victory of their idea. An easy debatable question rises: why join these political parties, if the leader controls them anyway? To this question we need a look at history. History teaches us that in any society, in any political system, there is one class, which profits. Sometimes this class is very small, but it exists. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle.”1 The dominating class in the Canadian society is the class of the politicians. The politicians, who support the totalitarian dictator actively, profit and get privileges. The politicians, the profiting class, are recruited out of the members of the leading party. The members join the party to get some privileges, but, above all, because of the chance to get a politician and be benefited. The situation is comparable with China where almost everyone joins the world’s strongest party, the “Communist Party of China”, to get privileges and to be less humiliated (assimilation of the minorities). Canada is going to develop a political one-party system like in China. But instead of threatening with torture and death, the Canadian are bribed by a high life-standard. The Canadian dictator, the Prime Minister, keeps the life-standard high to make the people bend on his will.
The Prime Minister controls the party absolutely. Every party, and organization in general, needs an organ, which governs the party, the committee. The committee has the total power and controls the party, but the committee itself has a leader, a single person, the president. What now happens is obvious. The leader’s power grows. The leader, one human being, begins to control the party. In brief: there will be more than one candidate as leader. One of them will get the majority and assimilates the other-thinking members, the opposition, inside the party. In this process the leader acquires absolute power over the party. A good example for this happening is found in the Russian history, in the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks 1917: 1903 on the second party-congress of the SDWPR, the “Social Democratic Worker Party of Russia”, the party split in two fractions the Bolsheviks under Lenin and the Mensheviks under Martow. Lenin got the majority and 1912 he kicked all Mensheviks off the party, if they did not support him totally. In fact, he assimilated them, then 1918, after the “Bolshevik Revolution” 1917, he forbad all opposition including the few remaining Menshevik. Everyone, who was not a member of the ‘Bolshevik Party’, was humiliated and condemned to a hard life. Till his first stroke in 1922, Lenin was a totalitarian dictator. After this example, it is obvious: the leader of the party becomes the absolute controls over his party. The Prime Minister has absolute control over his totalitarian party. Subsequently, the Prime Minister evolves to a totalitarian dictator. A one-party system, like in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Burma and Cuba, is only a question of time. This new lesson proves the first part of the domino theory as well (“This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, …”). We saw that this minority is as small as possible; it is one human being.
Another factor of the Canadian illusion of a fair and just country is the economic system: capitalism. The ‘Industrial Capitalism’ started in England in the 1750’s. It began with the development of machines, which produced better quantity and quality than home-workers. It degenerated in the ‘Industrial Revolution’, a situation like in today’s third world or worse. With the American and the ‘French Revolution’ (1776 and 1798), capitalism found a new breeding ground in Europe and North America. In this chapter I will analyze the economic system and show: it is a hierarchic system controlled by a few, it is an oligarchic system.
“The market has always been one of exploitation and thereby of domination, insuring the class structure of society.”1 Let’s analyze this quote: There is a dominating market, the heart of capitalism, and an insured class structure of society, the blood of capitalism. And exactly this abuse destroys the human’s freedom. The heart pumps the blood through the body, through the whole capitalist system. To survive in the capitalist system the people are kept so busy, that all their freedom is gone. The people need television, computer, a big house and a fast car to compete with their fellow creatures. The class of capitalists found their best help in the advertising. Advertising helps to cause materialism and consumption, to distort the truth and to manipulate the people. We need more background about the theory of capitalism and how it works in Canada.
The father of capitalism and free enterprise is Adam Smith. In his main work “The Wealth of Nations”, published in 1776, Smith generated three hypotheses:
1.Self-interest benefits society.
2.The profit motive is a value.
3.The government retards progress.
“Every man as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way.”1
Unfortunately, he was wrong. The “Industrial Revolution” and the whole Industrialisation are the best proofs. “More than fifty-seven per cent of the children of the working class and not quite thirty-two per cent of the children of all classes in the country die under five years of age.”2 Today, we know that a certain level of government control over the economy is necessary. “We have competition its own way, and have found that we are not good enough or wise enough to be trusted with this power.”3 The point at issue is how high this level of control should be. This question is the economic class struggle: The working class wants more protection and the employers strive for free enterprise. Both classes are not idealistic; they just follow their self-interest.
Canada has very little government control and few social programs. Right-wing politics rule Canada. The employers control all means of production. They have power over the jobs of the employee. And therefore, the class of the capitalists, the owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labour, has absolute control over the working class. Although the workers are the majority, they cannot protect themselves, because they live in a totalitarian dictatorship. We recognize that we have another dictatorship: the dictatorship of the ruling class of capitalists over the working class. The economic system of Canada is an oligarchy of a very small class of capitalists, the philanthropists and owners of the means of production. This small class control the food production as well as all services, all jobs and the power plants, the resources, minerals and mining companies. This class controls the economy absolutely.
Canada is ruled by two absolute powers, the totalitarian dictator, the Prime Minister and an oligarchy, the class of the means of production-controlling capitalists. Immediately, there is a new question: Which power dominates? From the domino theory we know that the stronger power assimilates the weaker. Who get the better of the other? Who really rules Canada, the totalitarian dictator or the capitalist oligarchy? In this chapter I will prove: In Canada, the economy, the class of capitalists split over the whole world, controls the politics and is totalitarian.
In Canada, there are two, easy to understand, reasons why the economy got the better of politics:
1.The totalitarian dictator of Canada, the Prime Minister, depends on a high life-standard to make the people bend to his will. A high life-standard depends on the economy. The class of capitalists, split over the whole world, controls the Canadian economy.
2.The “Industrial Revolution” also showed that the economy does not need politics to exist. The economy is independent and powerful, too powerful. But the politics must be financed by the economy. The politics depend on an independent economy.
These reasons prove: The economy controls the politics. Therefore, it is proven: Canada is governed by an oligarchy, a small class of capitalists, split over the whole world. It also proves the second part of the domino theory (“… , till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world.”). Because a class of foreigners rules Canada, it is proven that the assimilation knows no borders.
This essay proved: democracy is a dictatorship of the majority over the minorities, and the class of politicians controls the ruling majority. That is the political class struggle: the politicians against the majority.
It also proved my domino theory: Any society consists, in its origin, of a lot of minorities. A number of minorities builds a coalition and assimilates the other, unprotected minorities. When it is done, the majority splits again (every minority, which was a member of the coalition separates again), a new coalition is built and the remaining minorities are assimilated. This process repeats itself, till one original minority assimilates the country, the continent and then the whole world.
This theory is based on the fact that the Prime Minister is a totalitarian dictator. He is unimpeachable and absolute. Another important fact: the Senate does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Instead of representing the regions, the Senate is the slave of the ruling idea, embodied in the dictator, the Prime Minister. And the Canadian dictator, the Prime Minister, keeps the life-standard high to make the people bend on his will
Because of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Prime Minister, in Canada, a one-party system, like in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Burma and Cuba, is only a question of time.
It also analyzed about the Canadian economy and proved: the Canadian economy is controlled by an oligarchy, the class of capitalists. This small class control the food production as well as all services, all jobs and the power plants, the resources, minerals and mining companies. This class controls the economy absolutely.
The oligarchic economy results in the economic class struggle: capitalists-workers. The capitalists are philanthropists, the person who control the means of production.
But the main proofs are the following: The economy, the class of capitalists, controls the politics totally.
Therefore, Canada is governed by an oligarchy, a small class of capitalists, split over the whole world.
A very sad point is the suppression of any opposition and the destruction of the every individual-right.
