Oligarchical Collectivism In 2025 And Beyond

​ Circumstances and states change so the ideas might develop new significance and might pertain to the new reality in new ways. Phrases which helped map reality in one way or another can help map reality in new ways as new states of consciousness and new circumstances arise.

Oligarchical Collectivism is one such phrase that is somewhat esoteric sounding if unfamiliar with it and not necessarily used frequently because of its initial obscurity pronunciation. Oligarchical Collectivism can best be understood as the institutionalization of a pyramid system with the few at the top in control and the many below under increasing pressure.

George Orwell originally coined the phrase in his paradigm novel 1984. The novel is set in a futuristic London when the former democratic and capitalist city is now a repressive communist state akin to Moscow at the time the novel was penned. The idea is reflective of how things change severely no matter the titles. Sometimes the game changes and the name remains the same.

In its initial comprehension the term is in fact so broad that it might appear to be of little use. In fact, most all institutional design can be easily classified as Oligarchical Collectivism to one extreme or another. And indeed when circumstances are steady the phrase may have less impactful use, but when circumstances are in flux it is a phrase of outstanding descriptive measure.

All isms, all governmental organizations throughout recorded time, have been and are oligarchical collectivism by one degree or another. The coordination of the institution as it is might be different depending on the strata of the oligarchical collectivism one exists in and more importantly it depends on if you are inside of it and outside of it. Comprehension of internal and external politics are vital important understanding in politics, just as understanding of esoteric and exoteric is vitally important to comprehension of spirituality.

All states are composed in a way that pertains to internal and external mechanisms and functions. The US Constitution reflects this fact, as does the related Oath of Office, and the idea is reflected in a recent Trump ‘weave’ about his opponents in relation to the internal and external dynamics.

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God. ~Oath of Office, Legislative Branch

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people that have come in destroying our country…I think the bigger problem is the people within…and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary by the National Guard, and if really necessary by the military.” ~Donald Trump

Every state has internal and external politics. And every state is made up of oligarchical collectivism. How to utilize these facts requires consideration of the flaws of labels and the realities of state relations.

​ The failure of labels and the lack of meaning to labels and titles makes the phrase Oligarchical Collectivism more relevant despite its generality. Is russia a communist state? Is russia a democracy? What is russia to Ukraine or Finland? What about China? Is China actually communist? Is The USA a republic or an oligarchy? What is South Korea – when it institutes martial law? Is North Korea patriarchal feudalism? What is The United States as we transition into a deportation and retribution society instead of one based on law application to all? What is Israel – to its citizens and to its neighbors? What is Israel compared to its neighbors?

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” ~1984

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . . The process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for committing thought-crime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need even for that. . . . Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?” ~1984

In order to understand institutions do not accept their isms inspect their steepness. Let’s not take their titles and labels as valuable but rather seek to comprehend the actual relationship between institutions and individuals for that is where the truth is and how the truth can be told. The upward facing triangle can be seen as the external position and the upside down triangle can be seen as the internal position of the state in question. The more flat, the less steep the posture and shape, the more fair and square the institution is.

The understanding and judgement of institutional format might be done based on any number of actions and qualifications I have assembled a few of the basic ways to question the steepness of the oligarchical collectivism. The steepness represents what an institution really is despite the pronounced labels.
