What needs to be done we have mountains of challenges

The Hegelian Dialectic:

“Revolutionaries in government have created economic chaos, shortages in food and fuel, confiscatory taxation, a crisis in education, the threat of war, and other diversions to condition Americans for the “New World Order.”

The technique is as old as politics itself. It is the Hegelian Dialectic of bringing about change in a three-step process: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis.

The first step (thesis) is to create a problem. The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic and hysteria). The third step (synthesis) is to offer the solution to the problem created by step one: A change which would have been impossible to impose upon the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in stages one and two.”

Don’t blame colonization. Corruption and crime leads to poverty South Africa included.

Those in power have no shame but a lot of excuses.

Thievocracy means literally the rule by thievery and is a term used synonymously to kleptocracy.

One feature of political-based socioeconomic thievery is that there is often no public announcement explaining or apologizing for misappropriations, nor any legal charges or punishment levied against the offenders.

Kleptocracy is most common in developing countries and collapsing nations whose economies are reliant on the trade of natural resources.

Developing nations' reliance on export incomes constitute a form of economic rent and are easier to siphon off without causing the income to decrease.

This leads to wealth accumulation for the elites and corruption may serve a beneficial purpose by generating more wealth for the state.

In a collapsing nation, reliance on imports from foreign countries becomes likely as the nation's internal resources become exhausted, thereby contractually obligating themselves to trading partners.

This leads to kleptocracy as the elites make deals with foreign adversaries to keep the status quo for as long as possible.
To some observers, a thievery society allows the politically connected to redirect wealth to those deemed worthier by state apparatchiks.

According to some pundits, one reason governmental bodies subscribe to theft-prone policies is to lay the groundwork for the socialization of labor and property in an effort to permit thievocrats to make the populace “subservient to an institutionalized authority.”

Other forms of a thievery society that can induce a “culture of systematic fraud” has been described as “political and corporate kleptomania.”

In this case the plunder and looting enriches not only high government officials, but a narrow class of plutocrats, who usually represent wealthy individuals and families who have amassed great assets through the usage of political favoritism, special interest legislation, monopolies, special tax breaks, state intervention, subsidies or outright graft.

This type of economic system of political spoils is sometimes referred to as crony capitalism.

There are ominous signs that President Cyril Ramaphosa is ready to unleash war on his political enemies and rivals, purely for his own political survival.

Public institutions and criminal prosecutions will be weaponised to ensure that his political rivals are eliminated or seriously hobbled before the ANC’s December elective conference.

Ramaphosa’s multipronged strategy involves indirect unconstitutional changes to the ANC Constitution, under the guise of strengthening the rules for the nomination and vetting of candidates.

INEPTOCRACY A DEFINITION

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least qualified and capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of hardworking law abiding tax paying producers.
