THE WORLD AT WAR
D E C O N S T R U C T I O N I S M : A W O R L D A T W A R


Would it be nice if we would be all free?

No money. No education. No religion. No state and society. No government. Nothing. Complete chaos. TOTAL FREEDOM.

That's the wake-up call for deconstructionism, the death of structured restrictions, of norms, of everything that bound man into laws which doesn't have any meaning at all. What are laws? Should man really conjoin together in forming a bond that eventually ends to corruption and self-annihilation? Society, any society (as any sociologist knows) eventually ends. Civilizations die due to amounting conflicts caused by the stratification of society which is further caused by social norms, the so called "culture", and financial status. So, why the need of a community if the community would eventually be destroyed by the people building it?

There would be peace if these confines, these social prisons are destroyed. Every man for himself.

The capability of man is wide-ranged yet through the formation of organizations, man tends to force himself higher and higher (it is in his very nature that he becomes competitive and self-seeking) and in the end, the society implodes in itself. A man confined in freedom becomes a "greater" man.

If there is indeed a society, if there is indeed a community and a reliance for social-establishments, would it be better if there would be no money. As communism dictates- there would be no upper, middle or lower class; the eventual end to communism resulted in its use of currency (the use of a standard). With this, any communist country, how equal the people may be will soon end and just become another capitalist society driven by money and to make more and more money. Money is truly the root of all evil. BUT, to be frank, the dependence for money and financial orders has become so great that it would be very difficult to unmake it's effects.

Religion. Man needs God, but as everyone would know, the bloodiest conflicts arose from conflicts of religious beliefs. People carrying the same kind of devotional book (be it the Torah, Bible or Koran) finds it easy to make war. Perhaps it is the need of one, take note one, faith that should be taken into consideration. If men really do believe in a God that seeks greater glory, if it's the best for all humankind, then He would be considerate enough. Faith, no matter how rational or irrational it may be, builds order- the kind of order that lasts as long as God Himself. A structure focused on "divine" standards and not on human standards. Indeed, through this faith, social norms eventually becomes obsolete.

Deconstructionism aims to end religion, because, if you take in a deep breath and think logically, you would see that religion (whenever it may have been established) was established by man, like his government, like his money, like his standards, like his norms. God did not tell anyone to be a Roman Catholic, a Protestant, a Buddhist, a Taoist, a Muslim, or a pagan. It is man who tells man.

Government. Democracy stinks. People try to say "it rocks" but it doesn't, why? Well, democracy isn't really the voice of the people. It's just a coaxed term for establishing a society that favors those who run it and those who voted the people who runs it- the "majority"; but in the end, it's just like any stratified and structured society that ends up to impoverished people and variations of wealth. Don't tell me that I'm pessimistic. Hell, this is the truth. You are voting for a leader that has only a view of the horizon and acts alone on that horizon, democracy sees to it that the the "leader" works for the people of that horizon and the bottom dwellers are left behind (take note, horizon in an ocean).

BUT, it's not democracy alone, as long as people strive to make structural organizations of some kind, be it dictatorship, or socialism, the long-term effect ends not in a utopia but in condemnation; that society with the help of the "environment" will stratify itself and divide its people through new-found norms and artificial separation which will end in disagreement, disunity and anarchy. It will only take time and an ignition.

BUT, when there is anarchy, there is freedom.

When you are in a war, you're just trying to stay alive and it's in your basic instinct to survive and save those you love (this works only for those who still has some good left in them), every norm created by man, every standard cease to exist. And it is in this that one realizes that he is free, he is only thinking of how he'll survive, nothing else. And in this darkness, one can see so much light. Some people lose hope, some gains. Some commits suicide, some tries to survive.

And it is these people who try to survive out of devastation that eventually becomes great; he does not think like a man anymore, he becomes enlightened.

It's not that we should start a war, it's just an example wherein deconstructionism of society arises to the good of that society. Think over it.
