When the franchise was limited to the property-owners, and when the elected politicians
came from the property-owning classes, that is when the political state was owned,
acknowledged, steered, conducted, dominated, directed, and maintained by the class of
proprietors.
Who owns the state? The answers is those who control and govern the state.
Being able to vote is not enough to own the state. Being able to vote is only the embryonic
beginning of ownership. When the people control and govern the state, then the state will
have been changed and converted into a genuine republic, remade and reconstructed into
an authentic democracy. When the state is truly democratized, then the state will become
useless, and will dissolve in time. A democratic state is a contradiction, and thus it must
eventually disappear into an anarchist commonwealth of self-governing municipal units.
The state is owned by those who control the state. The state behaves the way it does
because it is owned and controlled by the super-wealthy few, relative to the majority of
the people, who are either poor or middle class. Those who do not have to work long
and hard for a living enjoy enough leisure time to study and learn about political issues,
and to engage in political campaigns and crusades.
Capitalism is not named, promoted, or endorsed in the United States Constitution. |
