I have had a sociological theory for a while now:

There has been two dominate breeds of homo sapiens: the people and the dragons.

The dragons, through out history, have been driven by greed, whether it’s capturing more land, hoarding gold, or accumulating power.

The people have been driven by cooperation and community, whether it’s sharing a cup of sugar, or giving money to those in need, or building a barn as a community.

The problem we’ve faced with Capitalist Realism is the argument that deep down we are all dragons whether we want to admit it or not, when actually dragons are a tiny, tiny tiny percent of the population determined to benefit at the expense of everyone else.

While I don’t necessarily disagree, who do you think is in the shadows? I’ve always said that Reagan being an actor with Alzheimer was a pro, not a con, to the GOP, but I’ve never subscribed to shadow order conspiracies. Do we have proof that there are puppet master and whom they might be?

This is a big thing that turned me off lemmygrad and expanded my political horizon (I was rather hardcore MLM). The more I’ve read and interacted in different groups, the more I’ve realised my inherent stance is anti-authoritarian and seek a collectivist way of life.

Really well written and simply put!
