I was dozing off and listening to NPR last night and I began to wonder if a syncretic political structure would work in America. It has elements of centrism, but in a nutshell; when the ideological political structure starts running a muck, syncretic politics would take a moderate approach to rebuild.
To me, it sounds pretty good, but then you run the risk of giving the state too much power. No American wants Marxist-like centrism. Well, you do if you're a Marxist (lolz). Still, it could be possible, seeing as though Libertarianism (syncretic ideal) is growing more and more popular. Thoughts, feelings, concerns, etc? Dithcuth |

Aren't you guys supposedly against religion... and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't our government in a sense syncretic? Take a look at Israel's/Zionist's strong grip on our government. Take a look at their lobby/lobbyist. Take a look at their positions and power. =\

People were labeling our government syncretic since the claim that Zionists started to take power in our government. Which I believe was in the mid-80s. Oh and technically speaking we were always syncretic. How do you think our government was created? Ideas were taken from the Greeks, Romans, Mongolian, Aztecs/Mayans, Native Indians etc... And created, government, democracy, senate, congress, presidency, election, presidential terms, voting, vetoes, parties etc... |
