IF ONE OF THE MOST BACKWARDS PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, THE CHINESE, PRE THE COMMUNIST PARTY COULD CUT THROUGH THE MORASS AND WE ARE GOING APE SH**T OVER HOW TO HANDLE THE BEEN THERE, SEEN THAT SILLINESS OF TRUMP, MAGA AND REPUBLICANS? By William Thorpe

No one more Chinese than Mao Tse Tung himself, (and I use the original spelling),who later on became the General-Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party critiqued and criticized his own Countrymen for the backwardness of their Imperial-Confucianism and the drag it had on the necessary development in light of their subservient position to the invading aggression of Western Europeans along with Imperial Japan. Not unlike the invasions of the Mongol Khans, Genghis ,to be specific who,  notwithstanding the fact conquered China became Chinese. But what the China of Mao's critique and criticism was confronted with was that "johnny come lately" tendency of, specifically Western Europeans to "other" by reducing other Humans to sub status. The diametrical altering of socio perceptions of a conquered or even just a mere encounter with other Humans, wasn't only limited to The Western European psyche, but was a human conditional natural corollary of the dynamic of conquest. But just as with the economic practice of enslavement, which was a regular occurrence in human affairs, the Western European psyche, specifically the English practicing it, in what became the United States put their own particular brand of perversion and dementedness on it by introducing, the "chattel", cradle to the grave speech on it. Or another example, humanity has always slaughtered itself on scale, but it took another Western European perversion and dementedness to apply the logic of bureaucracy, (which by the way, Imperial China introduced to the human condition) to and accomplish slaughter of humans as administrative function, which we know as the Holocaust. Now did kidnapped Africans, shackled on transport ships within the process of enslavement in these Americas and the subsequent dehumanization of chattelization die ten times more and over the Holocaust deaths, yes, its an indisputable yes. But those 20--100 million Africans who died during the transit and processing from Africa to destinations at plantations in what became the United States, the Caribbean colonies, Mexico, Central and South America, despite the experience being exponentially more horrific than the minutes it took for Zyklon-B to chronicle the Holocaust, were not as objective of the ad hoc administration of enslavement, being specifically and immediately processed for slaughter. Which underscores how our human condition is the very embodiment of the approximate as absolute value of context, as contradictory as it sounds, but if we are to find worship its in context. Within context we encounter the systemic and resolution not giving a flip to either state. Because and this brings me to the focus of this work. Which is this wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth, with the woe is me retrieval of the sack cloth as that proverbial next step, response to the inarguable, undebatable and indefensibly regressive state, 250 years of incorrigibility and its unwillingness to for example unconditionally not only reject but repudiate the perversion and dementedness encapsulated by William H. Holcombe in his sado-orgiastic, AFRICANIZATION OF THE SOUTH work. The human condition is a funny phenomenon, because even as Thomas Jefferson in his articulation of the Nations Declaration of Independence to the King George who is about to tango with a context he might have taken for granted, was as all it's other forms, was invoking, "let facts be submitted to a candid world", which as radically astute as Jefferson knew "a candid world" was more than dank European Castles. 

So much earlier in Chinese history, approximately the 6th Century and its inexorable date with the Maoist, backwardness criticism, we meet, LAO TSE or TZE and his work, TAO TEH KING, which not only anticipated but is kindred with the TRUMP, MAGA, REPUBLICANS and their PROJECT 2025 silliness, stated in expressions found in PART I chapter or verse 3.1 NOT TO VALUE AND EMPLOY MEN OF SUPERIOR ABILITY IS THE WAY TO KEEP THE PEOPLE FROM RIVALRY AMONG THEMSELVES...... [then at] 3.2 THEREFORE THE SAGE, IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS GOVERNMENT, EMPTIES THEIR MINDS, FILLS THEIR BELLIES, WEAKENS THEIR WILLS, AND STRENGTHENS THEIR BONES.[at] 3.HE CONSTANTLY (TRIES TO) KEEP THEM WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE AND WITHOUT DESIRE, AND WHERE THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE, TO KEEP THEM FROM PRESUMING TO ACT (ON IT) WHEN THERE IS THE ABSTINENCE FROM ACTION, GOOD ORDER IS UNIVERSAL. [and in PART II he continues at] 65.THE ANCIENTS WHO SHOWED THEIR SKILL IN PRACTISING THE TAO DID SO, NOT TO ENLIGHTEN THE PEOPLE BUT RATHER TO MAKE THEM SIMPLE AND IGNORANT. [at] 65.2 THE DIFFICULTY IN GOVERNING THE PEOPLE ARISE FROM THEIR HAVING MUCH KNOWLEDGE. HE WHO (TRIES) TO GOVERN A STATE BY HIS WISDOM IS A SCOURGE TO IT WHILE HE WHO DOES NOT (TRY TO) DO SO IS A BLESSING.I Begin: there isn't any need for me to elaborate or expound on LAO TSE or TZE' stipulations, a number of American demographics have forever existed with and under its dictates and its just that under TRUMP II, 90% of the Nations demographics are yoked to its application. My point with contrasting the Chinese experience with our current state is simply this. For starters nothing is new, not within the American context or our Global Human Condition, what however confronts us, is it's response. Even as Franklin Roosevelt was implementing THE NEW DEAL, a majority of Black Americans were excluded and the animating logic of the exclusion is what TRUMP II, MAGA and REPUBLICANS are yoking everyone else to even including their useful idiot supporters under PROJECT 2025.There are a fraction of the population for whom, buyers remorse is a positive motive, in other words they are capable of looking at themselves in the mirror and accepting that TRUMP lied to and deceived them. Then there are that majority who Jefferson in the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, identified as, "all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."What this brings me to is that typical historical declarative of,(and I paraphrase) the World has been explained, the work is to change it. What Lao Tse and Thomas Jefferson have in common are observations minus the ingenuity of available response, which in 2026 not only Americans possess, but the entirety of human condition, because what the socio-person in Lao Tse and Thomas Jefferson's milieu didn't readily have was the ability to expose lies and hypocrisies. So for example Martin Luther was able to nail his polemic against Catholicism on doors and despite unleashing Protestantism we have experienced enough of the Protestant Speech to recognize what THE WHO gave us in the seminal song, "WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN", and the lyric "HERE COMES THE NEW BOSS SAME AS THE OLD BOSS", that Martin Luther's anti-Catholic exposé was a mere repackaging. Accordingly if the ethno-Nationalistic fetish convulsing the " White-Evangelical" MAGA foot soldier, lays claim to a suppositionary view of  "a"  Bible, and its plainly and dispositvely provable as hypocritical which Lao Tse would find affinity with than the seeming "White-Evangelical", invocation of a Jesus Christ that bears no resemblance or has nothing in common with the Biblical Jesus Christ, the human condition in 2026,can grasp for itself, without apotheosistic PAULIAN "intercession".

First of all its irrefutable that the overriding and arching motivator of the Trump, MAGA and Republican BASE supporter has nothing to do with the circumstances and conditions of their material existence and instead its all about that pathological condition, which President Lyndon Johnson keenly and astutely captured, when he said this, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you", which to qualify is the sum of all things America. Of course there have been moments where the nature of material developments have compelled that necessary recognition that humanness is more than skin. Virginia's Bacon's Rebellion was one, the killing at Boston of Crispus Attucks by British Soldiers in 1770, which was seized upon by American minds theorizing rebellion against The British Monarch, the likes of Paul Revere and Samuel Adams deployed the killing as weapon, was another. Even when the Speech focusing on the Black American experience was animus as the infamous Dred Scott formulation or Plessy v. Ferguson and even as recently, Students for Fair Admissions and Louisiana v. Callais, both resurrecting the animus of William H. Holcombe in his Africanization of the South, what we find within the pathology is the shortsightedness of self negation revealed as that most base and idiotic of the human attention by the adherents. This isn't to deny its destructiveness, but what it does is compel attention in opposition. In other words if the purpose and objective of the human brain and mind is to "think", which then is "value". Then that generated attention in opposition, as value, then is no different from Mao Tse Tung's backwardness criticism of the Chinese People pre-Communist Party. Hilary Clinton attempted such criticism with her and I paraphrase, the degeneracy of the Trump voter. To which she was harshly castigated, whether it factored in on her electoral defeat to Trump is irrelevant, because if it is accepted and understood that, we are a Nation of Laws and not men. Then contrary to the distortive, distractive, deceptive and diversionary political campaigning narrative that the focus is on the personalities of the Politicians, which is nothing but a bill of stale goods. Politics as Speech of the Social Contract, its aspirations and formulations is instead comprehensively about Clarity, detailed as needs and issues of the Human or socio-person's business of existence to be solved and resolved and whether one is "tough tony" or "Black Mary", is irrelevant. What is relevant is how comprehensive and extensive is the potential legislator or Policy maker's grasp of the electorate's needs, to present and subsequently defend them. But when the political speech is mired in the irrelevance of personality and the infernal accoutrements of gimmicks, then it behooves that labor of "attention" and the rigors of ingenuity to present that necessary and comparable opposition. So who is held responsible for allowing and permitting the brazen misrepresentation of the various subject matters that are deployed as weapons by reaction against that inexorable push by the progressive business of human existence? Do we simply acquiesce to the assertion, "and God said" or restrain challenge of presumed allocution by Paul aka Saul as in the protested "intercession" for Jesus Christ and Man? Or do we respond on their own terms?

HERE IS AN IDEA FOR RESPONSE TO LOUISIANA v. CALLAIS 2026 U.S. LEXIS 1950 By William Thorpe

Instead of getting all into the idealistic sophistry of the jurisprudence pursued by the pining to be the 1857 Chief Justice Taney in Dred Scott, Samuel Alito along with his reactionary brethren and the pitiful servile labors of Samuel Jackson's character in Django, collaborator Clarence Thomas, the only fact that matters is if Black People and Allies want to live, survive, thrive and achieve the maximal realization of humanness, then there has to be the possession, control and the dictate of terms of the motive force of Will and Power. Law as expression of the motive force of Will and Power exists within a Social Contract as that intercessor and mollifier between the open and explicit daily mortal combat of speech between members of a society, which is why fairness is requisite of its jurisprudence as expression of the dominant Politics. Black People in the United States and Allies meaning those who disavow the "othering" or the political-economy of dehumanization, have pursued what it means to "perfect the unity of the people", which our Taney's, Alito's and Thomases, with their world view are incapable of synthesizing the necessary aspects, as such the ethos of for example LOUISIANA v. CALLAIS, are like that remnant trail of an extinction level Cometary event. What remains for us, is response and considering that even the most genocidal, exterminative and tyrannical speech or activity exist per virtue of level of response or opposition, meaning what is that analytic grasp of the situation, which then reveals the harm as its reflection. So if this contemporary class of the "Lost Cause" foot soldiers anticipate on deploying the redistricting of politics to maintain their grasp on Power, meaning its seizure from their opponents, who are primarily Black and Allied People, and if notwithstanding the actuality of redistricting of politics, still a more supreme and dominant politics remains and is accessible to the victims of the redistricting, which, by the way has been the type of politics mostly practiced by the victims of redistricting and this current level of redistricting is now giving it clarity because of the mechanisms of politics being revealed, as available to it, then we have to understand it, apply and put it into practice. This supreme and dominant form of politics that will nullify and render the redistricting gambits as just that, flailing and grasping at straws, is the Nationalization and elevation of State Wide Politics, which allows rule by Executive Orders. State Wide Politics are accessible to the eligible electorate, regardless of whatever sardine districts political enemies are packed in, not unlike how captured Humans to be sold as slaves were packed in holds on ships during the middle passage, people vote State Wide, which is were the ire and animus at the reactionary politics of redistricting can be directed at the offending Party doing the redistricting. Because more than likely the gerrymandered redistricting has a reactionary and anti progress intention and purpose that will be at odds with the quality of living and its affordability wishes of the majority of the electorate. What the election of State Wide Politicians permits, despite the fact they will not have the majority of a General Assembly to ensure legislation, is rule by Executive Orders, that cannot be over ruled by a General Assembly only The Courts, but the Executive will have the ability to expose the true intent of the offending Party's redistricting as catering to the reactionary and anti People progress neo-feudalistic

EVEN IF THE FRIDGE IS FULLER AND THE PHONE IS SMARTER

Insight from your friendly Microsoft Co-pilot prompt by apropos.

Where life really did improve 1. People live longer—on average Life expectancy rose significantly from 1960 to the 2010s, even with the COVID dip. Macrotrends Stanford Center on Longevity 2. Formal rights expanded End of de jure Jim Crow, Voting Rights Act, Fair Housing Act, disability rights, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s legal and economic rights—all of that is a real shift in the legal terrain. 3. Material standard of living More people have access to cars, refrigeration, air conditioning, digital communication, information, and medical technology that simply didn’t exist in the 1960s. Where quality of life clearly degraded 1. Inequality and class fracture Wealth and income are far more concentrated at the top; a Senate HELP Committee report bluntly notes extreme inequality and that over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Senator Bernie Sanders 2. Life expectancy inequality Higher-income Americans gained more years of life; lower-income groups saw smaller gains or stagnation. Inequality in life expectancy has stopped falling and in some dimensions is rising. Congress.gov  Stanford Center on Longevity 3. Work insecurity Union density collapsed, long-term employment eroded, and gig/contingent work expanded. The “you can raise a family on one industrial wage” 1960s myth is gone for most. 4. Carceral state Since the 1970s, the U.S. built a massive incarceration machine. For Black, Indigenous, and poor communities, quality of life is inseparable from surveillance, policing, and imprisonment. So, has the standard of living improved or decreased? If you average everything: Material standard of living: mostly up Formal rights and protections: up, though under attack Security, equality, and mental load for working-class people: down Outcomes split by class and race: more polarized For a wealthy or even solidly upper-middle household, life now is objectively “better” than the 1960s on almost every axis. For a poor or working-class household—especially Black, Brown, disabled, or criminalized—life is more surveilled, more precarious, more unequal, even if the fridge is fuller and the phone is smarter.

SO WHAT TROJAN HORSE IS NEXT UP? By William Thorpe

The last one was, the VOTE NO ? Right. But then isn't every tick-tock of our political moments a one after the other Trojan Horse, because anytime the operative is deception, meaning when the People are so held in disdain that we must be lied to, politics then becomes that ever increasing coat of glossy veneer, the thicker the appliqué the louder and raucous the gulping noises of the swallowing of that proverbial hook and sinker, ain't it? Lest someone mistakes me for a smart alecky cynic, I'm not. I BEGIN: No one made a big deal of Samuel Alito's, comments on Americans exercising Americanness protesting governmental acts, during his confirmation hearings to become an associate justice of The Supreme Court of The United States. Again Samuel Alito, gave us a Trojan Horse moment, with his sneering condemnations of Americas' Youth protesting governmental activities. The confirmation process to assume the privilege of becoming a cog in the governmental machinery of The United States or any other jurisdictional governmental position, is opportunity for the American People through their elected representatives, to interrogate the why's and responsibleness of speech. In other words, the question isn't does one have the "constitutional" right to the speech, but does the speech comport with and advance the Declarations of The National Constituted Speech. So Alito would have had to defend why he was at odds with protest speech, which by the way is our National animating embodiment, from that incipient hurled defiance: "When in the course of human events,...",but he wasn't held to account and he subsequently marched onto the Court to perform his Trojan Horse functions. Justice Samuel Alito isn't an exception, but is the rule. What I'm doing is simply showing how there isn't one element to blame for the current social and political convulsions. There isn't corruption in a lesser degree and what I mean is simply this our National Institutions have always betrayed that incipient National Declarative. As constructive as Roosevelt's New Deal was, an entire people were left in it's wake, Yes Black People were casually and conveniently overlooked. We are constantly and consistently told that there are media that speaks with a "liberal" voice, yet who was the most strident critic of Martin Luther King Jr. when he dared call out the injustices of our National Government's behavior in Vietnam, which true to form and naturally continued into the apoplexy over Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. So when we see the Malcolm Xnesque,"chickens coming home...."of ski-mask or balaclava clad ICE agents stomping on our City Avenues and Boulevards, isn't the logical question then that of why, were those Black Nationalist theoreticians dismissed when they offered the painstakingly formulated critique of the Police behaving as occupying forces in Black American environments? Yet in the face of these current antagonisms and convulsions, there is still that impotence and its hapless illiteracy to come in from that proverbial cold of "enabling", which is what is being done, when every retort that is intended to groom the stupefied populace into the acceptance of their orgiastic violent capabilities, is treated as legitimate and responsible. In other words every retort, every utterance from cogs in the governmental machinery of a National Declarative, that categorically denounces and repudiates," No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States..."is treated as noblesse, as if a bullypulpit is sacrosanct and dare not be called to account.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CRITIQUE OF THE SOCIAL CONTRACT II By William Thorpe

In part one to this work I basically gave a narrative composite of the value realization along with terms and relations within a Social Contract, specifically our contemporary American one, as being perverted, betrayed and distorted by the political critique and analysis of a middle and center. In sum I disabused the purported analysis of having any redemptive utility, save for treachery, which I then fleshed out how our contemporary American political moment is a defacto consequence and result of that political critique work and its analysis of a purported middle and center. In this part II, the critique I present, is simply this: why isn't critique of this political moment, presented on it's terms, without dabbling into that strawmanesque theater of firstly legitimizing its incorrectness by responding to it as if it has and can claim any intellectual, aspirational and practical legitimacy, when we know that it doesn't. Our and The American Democracy as Constituted isn't a petty reduction to just the exercise of an unchallenged and unquestioned Executive "BULLY-PULPITISM", in any form and incarnation. In other words, we cannot on the one hand claim that nobility and aristocracy are discredited Social Contract terms and relations, then affirm their conservative dynamics and existence with the resulting and inevitable antagonisms by ceding our agency of critique on our terms as we purse the affirmative realization of the inexorability of progress as organic inevitability. Which is what brings me to this, contrary to the intellectual-liberalism of reaction and its idealistic impositions, violence, respect and its fear dicta have nothing to do with the aspiration and work of perfecting the unity of the people. Yes The People as organic entity can be terrorized and cowered into that state of zombie compliance along with its attendant suppositions, but what it subsequently produces (and chronicles of our existence are replete with it and the resulting labor of rebuilding the human person, irrespective of altruistic reasons) is of course that negation of the fruits of our Sapience and claimed theological, cosmological narrative in the form of creating that one-dimensional social creature, correct political critique and analysis intends and anticipates liberating. So this corresponds to this political moment in this form and fashion. The United States as Constituted is a Nation according to Constitutional Dicta right? And we experienced this logic during the reaction to Nicole Jones's 1619 Project, where the opposition and rejectionist formulations, hinged on the sophistry that the United States didn't become a Nation till 1776 and 1789 as such The 1619 Project's thesis of the political-economy of Enslavement Of Africans as dynamic of all that is Americana must be false. This work isn't responding to that sophistry save to say that what's good for the goose is most definitely excellent to the gander, because, if this contemporary American political moment is one that is fractious, extolling the supremacy of the partisan and faction, then we are not a Nation and despite the exercised police powers and organized violence of the executive, appropriating agency under the exegesis of The National Executive in pursuit of a factionalized and fractionalized politics that is in explicit enmity with the citizenry cannot then claim National character as basis for its activities, because it is at war with the Nation as Constituted and its this level and form of critique this moment demands.

MAN WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CRITIQUE OF THE SOCIAL CONTRACT? By William Thorpe

Let me begin by disabusing us of the strawmanesque charade of a political middle or center, which critique of the Social Contract typically and fraudulently purports. So let's use the simple everyday existence of interactions and its terms of value exchange, which is the only honest and practical denominator of speaking to and describing human behavior and terms and relations of a Social Contract, which to economize brain storage space, we categorize and characterize it, "political-economy". So with that said when you the reader are hungry, is there a middle ground? or when you're in a store where stuff are sold and bought, is there a middle ground on whether you have the means to acquire anything, isn't it the either or of whether you can or not? I'm positing these rudimentary and profane examples to compel clarity on what we mean by "middle", because notwithstanding acknowledging the mechanics of any decision making process," middle" as political critique is an insidious and destructive tactic, which to put and state bluntly is traitorous to that progressive motive-force of our Human Condition and its Social Contract medium and mechanism. So now let's confront what the strawmanesque charade of a middle or center as political analysis and critique has wrought. Before we as people and humans have and assume assignation, as value realization and its maturation in the terms and relations of a Social Contract and its political-economy, we are what, just The People. Then value realization and its maturation begins its inexorable compulsion and dictatorial emergence, as process of our education and functional literacy of the terms and relations of the Social Contract, we are birthed in, or in otherwords we begin to study learn, understand and attain the cognition of what we'll need in doing the business of being human, according to the gleaned, held dearly means and methods of the Society as, THE CULTURE and TRADITIONS, which by the way, again notwithstanding the approximate utility and purpose of agency or that deflective, distractive and delusional pull yourself up by your bootstrap, "meritocracy" critique, we had nothing to do with. So as we develop with and in the cognitive Cultural and Traditions, necessities for the business of being human, we begin to realize that we are now apart from the people, despite the fact that analytically we still and always are, that dynamic of THE PEOPLE, but and because of what we have come to understand and how we have come to it of the culture and traditions of the Society, its Social Contract and political-economy that we are birthed in, we begin to have a no middle ground or center with it, because we have our particular interest and along with such interest development, according to its relative attitude and effect on its realization we then critique the entire construct of the Social Contract, that, even as our Parents, members of the Society birthed us, it in turn births our realization and need of our no middle ground, interest based critique. Okay so all of this brings us to this contemporary moment in our American Social Contract, where we are specifically, not in general terms, but specifically confronted with the consequences of all of those past moments of the political middle critique and center analysis, which are now unveiled and exposed as nothing more than space that permitted, enabled and gave cover to REACTION in its most historic form to exist and maintain its intellectual-liberalism and psychosis. Because we compromised the Progressive critique and analysis for that farcical wink and nod of a delusional CENTER.

ON EGBERTO WILLIES OF POLITICS DONE RIGHT AND POLEMICS By William Thorpe

All political economies unequivocally and without qualification exploit.The only political question relative to the necessary exploitation of a specific and particular political-economy,is whether its Progressive or Conservative. When it is Progressive,the exploitation benefits an approximate majority. When it is Conservative it benefits a few. Despite the fact our ancients pointed out the obvious or focused our attention on answers that were already in plain sight, we have still had to constantly reinvent the wheel of that in plain sight answer and its necessary attention.There is nothing new about The United States, whether its jurisprudential continuum fealty to that which it revolted against in the 18th century negated the revolt and its repeat of that negation with the Compromise of 1871, again negating The Civil War are again facts in plain sight which we relatively pay attention to when dictated to by circumstances are what humanity in our diverse social and political expressions do.Polemic is that medium through and by which we convey that in plain sight answer to the necessary receptors meaning the polemic has to do no more than state the obvious, which is the answer is in plain sight. I learn a lot from Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show on Houston's KPFT, mainly from the callers and how that maxim of in plain sight is inexorable.Prior to the 2024 Presidential Elections the usual voices called in to Mr.Willies show with the once again in plain sight answer dynamic.Reactionaries dredging up the usual same old tired sophistry.The so-called reasonable due to circumstances,finding themselves now occupying unfamiliar and unaccustomed space, having to now come up with, develop and defend their feelings with ill formed logic, because they themselves were reactionaries. Polemics as our ancients have instructed is how we expose that the dynamic of society and politics is the narrative of labor and the narrative that controls labor. Politics Done Right has assumed the work of polemicizing and its on that we examine its work. By William Thorpe
