PROJECT 2025

One of the bloggers I most respect is indi.ca - a writer called Indrajit Samarajiva, born in Canada, raised in America and now living in Sri Lanka. He is the first to draw our attention to Project 2025 – mandate for leadership; the conservative promise the 920 page plan the US Heritage Foundation and the Republicans have just released for the US elections later this year. Even more importantly, he has read the documents carefully and summarised it for us all – the first two installments are https://indi.ca/i-read-trumps-plan-so-you-dont-have-to/ and https://indi.ca/trumps-transition-plan-plumbing-the-deep-state/

One of the core ideas of conservatives for generations has been broad executive 

power. The prerogative of the President. Trump I's main problem was whipping a 

recalcitrant bureaucracy into place (what he called the 'Deep State'), and they 

ended up rebelling against him. The whole point of the first section of Project 2025 

is 'never again'. The first section clearly labels what all the important departments 

and personnel are, prioritizes placing loyal political appointees in charge of them 

immediately, and philosophically claims a 'tyrannical' Presidency that 'commands' all 

executive function.
This is actually an interesting political dynamic that conservatives aren't necessarily 

on the wrong side of. One of the weird delusions of liberal democracy is that they 

live in a democracy at all and not an oligarchy. The delusion of liberal democracy 

is that there is one form of democracy and that it fits in bombs. And what is that 

form? Well, Aristotle would more properly call it oligarchy, not democracy at all. 

Which government do you think best describes America, or any of its vassal states? 

As Michael Hudson says about China vs the USA, in China the state controls capital, 

and in America it's the other way around. America is an oligarchy with voting, and 

the voting is increasingly superfluous. They're literally having the same election 

again. America is marketed as Democracy™, but it's really oligarchy most foul. 

This is not a feature, it's a bug. It was founded that way.
America was founded with only property owners able to vote, and the entire system 

of 'checks and balances' is structured that way. It creates a purposefully divided 

government so capital can conquer. American Democrats, who actually believe their 

own propaganda, are fond of calling Trump a tyrant, with little historical understanding 

of what that means. Tyrants were, in Ancient Greece, the people that overthrew 

entrenched aristocracies and oligarchies and saved the people.
