the shape of 'our civil war' which is now unfolding has several layers and eric zuesse covers one part of that here;
by Eric Zuesse for The Saker blog
America is controlled only by its wealthiest, and they are solidly in control of both political Parties.
However, now that they are in control, they are fighting bitterly
amongst one-another. They are on two sides. Concerning foreign policies,
and domestic policies, Republican Party billionaires hate especially
Iran, and especially all progressivism. By contrast, concerning foreign
policies, and domestic policies, Democratic Party billionaires hate
especially Russia, and accept some progressivism. (They need to do the
latter so that they can be considered to be liberals and thus tolerated
or even admired by Democratic Party voters. That’s necessary for them
because, for example, Democratic Party voters would be just as turned
off toward a politician who is financed by and fronts for the
conservative Koch brothers, as Republican Party voters would be turned
off toward a politician who is financed by and fronts for the liberal
George Soros — and everybody knows that billionaires fund the major
politicians; it’s not a totally hidden fact. Soros and other liberal
billionaires can claim to be ‘public spirited’, which is necessary for
them in order to be able to appeal to liberals; but the Koch brothers
and other avowedly conservative billionaires have no need to make that
pretense in order to appeal to conservatives.)
Actually, all billionaires are conservatives, because they
need to be that, in order to call a country like America “democratic”
instead of “dictatorial,” and they need that myth of American ‘democracy’
in order to prevent a revolution, which would strip them of their
power. (No American billionaire calls America a “dictatorship,” even
though it is
and each of them knows it, since they collectively are the dictators
here, and since they don’t become involved in politics, at all, unless
they want to remain in control over it. The richer a person is, the more conservative the person tends to be,
and billionaires are the richest people of all, so all of them are
actually conservatives. Even billionaire liberals are conservative,
because otherwise the individual would be fomenting revolution, and none
of them is doing any such thing — what would they be revolting against,
if not themselves? They can pretend to be progressive, but only pretend. Furthermore, every study shows that the richer a person is, the more involved in politics the person tends to be. Poor people are the least involved in politics,
and this is one of the reasons why the U.S. is a dictatorship. It’s a
dictatorship by the richest, and throughout thousands of years that has
been called an “aristocracy,” as opposed to a “democracy.”.......http://thesaker.is/the-civil-war-now-in-america/
