They warn of Big Government and of organized labor while they strive to strip the people’s powers in favor of Big Business. How conveniently they forget the wisdom of any balance of powers or the tyranny, especially, inherent in globalization as it’s emerging.
One World Government, they warn, while paving the way for One World Corporation. In effect, it’s all or none of us. Either way, it’s scary.
I learned to view political systems and society itself from the bottom-up. Jesus said something about it in Matthew chapters 5 through 7. Maybe it’s just a matter of viewing the bigger picture or remembering the promise of Jubilee (Leviticus 25). Ultimately, each of us equally responsible, and equally equipped, to work together. But there’s always a price to pay.

I just finished Alastair McIntosh’s book Rekindling Community (a commentary on E.F. Schumacher’s Small is Beautiful.
It’s an interesting take on starting from the inside out, which I was reminded of when you mentioned that we need to start from bottom up. I read passages from Matthew 5:13-14 after you mentioned it, and it reminded me of how our spirit is essential to any system (we are the salt of the earth). And if we are not honoring the spirit within each of us, and how we inherently depend on each other in the most genuine sense of ‘community’, no government system is going to succeed. They will all fail because they are based on seeing people as commodities, not as individual spirits of a whole that need to be valued and recognized as part of a group.
This is a bit of a ramble off the cuff, so I hope you see the connection I’m trying to make! 🙂
Definitely!
