a theory that can use some light...

what if...

there ware two governments simultaneously existing side by side?...

the first is one of followers, people who follow orders and are given no freedom...

the second is the one of liberty, people who have a choice to choose what direction their life path leads...

all existing side by side but not, does this sound highly ficticous, any questions, comments, or concerns?

I think you are describing the rudiments of an economic class system or a caste system, which undoubtedly exists even in supposedly egalitarian societies.

Government intervention is not required, oppression, subjugation and suppression happen on autopilot.

Is that what happened with U.S. and U.S.S.R during the Cold War. Totally parallel governments.

no surfup he means two governments for 1 country, one fer the stupid asses who'll do whatever is dictated to them, and the other fer people who are fre and make their own choices, it's kidna like it is now with the frtune 500 type people and the rest of the people, and it's been like that fer quite some time, hmm i'm thinking as far back as ancient egypt, it's the way # is unless ur buddhist or sumtin like that

Ok.
I would think that the country would soon be taken into a civil war or revolutions.
Sorry for the misconception.
That country would be impossible to control unless the leaders of the two government are in good terms, which can never happen.

I will just pretend I understood that.
Either you have read many philosophical books or you didn't get enough ART.
"More art the kids get the better"

Sounds like what exists, you know the poor working and paying the bills, bound to follow orders by their need to eat and by doing this they foot the bill for the elite, the rich bastards who feed off of the poor mans work and yell vote for me on voting day, yep sounds like home sweet home to me.

two presidents...
two different bodies...

The ones who are free are free to control those who aren't, and for those who are controlled to be controlled then at least some of those that are free have chosen to control them.
The question is, did the controlled give up their free will, or did they had it taken from them? What is to stop people from either side crossing to the other?
The free could just give up their freedom, but could the oppressed regain it?
And are the oppressed truly oppressed if they chose to give up their freedom for a more orderly lifestyle?
And are the controllers truly free seeing as how they rely on the oppressed to stay in control?

Dany,

good questions indeed.

I think all that matters is that you should be able to get out when you want to. Otherwise the 'game' is really unfair.

yes, it is very difficult to "get" out seeing as how natural resources are natural but require money to use...
and those that dont require it are not really that natural anymore...

I find it really annoying that someone has decided for me to make me ignorant of bigsage's posts.
Really, really annoying.

Really, really annoying.

Bigsage was "hijacking threads" He was warned once, but didn't listen. His fault, not the Mods.
