POWER OF THE INVISIBLE SYSTEM

So many of us complain about the "System." What is the "System?" I've always wanted to know because any "System" that needs to maintain power by suppression of its citizens won't last long. History is replete with examples, Assyria, Greece, Rome, Byzantine, all dirt and dust. So before it goes, I want to know what it is. Is it a bunch of guys with Cuban cigars sitting around making plans on how much of other people's resources they can acquire without regard to how they acquire them? Is it a few people who pay other people to promote and support their position as head of the "System?" Or is it an attitude? Is the System an idea? What if the system is a thought that things must be done one way? What if it’s like a ideological snowball rolling down a hill and it catches everyone in its path. It catches those who make profit their goal, those who support them, and those who suffer under their socio-politico-economic power. It catches all, the rich, weak, and poor. I think that's it. "The system" is a big white snowball that allows no escape.

I believe no one can stop this rolling behemoth called "the system" even if they wanted too. One question would be, if someone did, who would be among the first to stand in front of this mass to try to slow its roll and risk having what they have gobbled up? We have many people standing on the sidelines throwing sticks and stones, but no one directly in its path. Other questions are, Is this snowball an idea gone bad? What will happen if the snowball keeps rolling? My thoughts are, that it will eventually feed upon itself and need to find other "economic ideological food." Perhaps the Chinese or some other stealth nation will start their own piss color snowball financed by those who created the first snowball. Those folks who only know how to create monopolizing spiritless balls called capitalism that morphs into a cannibalistic “system.” Then it will once again become this all encompassing cold mass rolling downhill until it finally reaches the edge of that final cliff and tumble into the inevitable hell fire.
