I believe we need a constructive analysis of the many underlying factors that dominate society. What they are, what they have been, how/if they are changing, how they affect society and how we can react, change and use them.
The first and maybe most important factor may be power.
Power to many, is the driving force of social change. It affects everyone, if they have it, are subject to it or want it. I would say it is usually concentrated in a small minority but changes hands at certain points in time, from the aristocracy to the bourgeoisie and from the bourgeoisie to what? I would state that the church was a tool of the aristocracy, politics the tool of the bourgeoisie and the media of the new dominant class. The reason I have not defined the new dominant class is that it is not overtly apparent.
This is not as ignorant as it seems, we are living in a time where the power structure is changing and the new dominant class does not want to identify or label itself until it has reached its ascension. A clear understanding of the new power transfer would enable the underclass to gain some sort of understanding of the possibility of social control.
One thing I believe is that the media is a medium for this shift in power.
Another issue is a fear or reluctance of the present resistance movement, to gain or posse's power.
I hope that criticisms of what I imply can be used towards an analysis of the nature of power in the present world. |
