Preventing dictatorship Say no to the one-party state. Britain has a constitutional monarchy, and this is a protection that obstructs the takeover, by those who would wish to remove democracy. For those without the understanding of the often obscure and labyrinthine, social structures of Britain, the following may help. The monarchy has influence, mostly social but with some political aspects, but no real power. The King or Queen cannot make laws, they cannot overrule the government or parliament. The Government cannot dismiss parliament, but parliament can bring down the government. These aspects of the British constitution lessen the chance of an enforced one-party state. At least one that follows the design that the fascist/communists prefer. Other nations have not evolved the same preventive measures. Even in Britain and in the United States of America, it is possible to have a period where too much power is controlled by those who wish to prevent democracy from succeeding. It is possible to use “puppet” politicians and the “useful idiots” who can be manipulated into believing they are doing things for the good of the nation, when they are only doing things that benefit their controllers. But governments in Britain and the USA have limited timespans, they have to seek re-election. While there are flaws in both electoral systems and while the media can be manipulated, it is hard to prevent public criticism of the governments record. Only in a one-party state is it possible for the ruling party to prevent the emergence of public opposition. With such public criticism and a reasonable level of “secret, free and fair” ballots a complete take over is difficult.

Louise Blake-Michael (Risen Phoenix)Published 2 years ago in The SwampThe Informal Sector of the Cochabamian Economy
Cochabamba is the fourth-largest city in Bolivia and is located in a valley in the Andes mountain range. In Owners of the Sidewalk: Security and Survival in the Informal City, Daniel Goldstein writes about the people who had to relocate to the city from the agricultural lands and mining towns due to the effects of neoliberal reforms. In 1993, Planning Minister Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada was elected and soon after, the laws concerning imported food were changed such that the Bolivian farmers, who had lost their government-provided subsidies, could no longer compete with foreign farmers. (Goldstein 2016, 37). According to Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, by Kenneth Guest, “ Stratification and inequality became more pronounced in industrialized capitalist economies over recent centuries, and this uneven development appears to be accelerating under forces of globalization” (Guest 2020, 345). As the nation globalized, the city’s informal economy grew.
