Subject:
The Iron Law of Oligarchy
In a certain sense, the 5-4 decision of the of the US Supreme Court,
which stopped the vote count in Florida thereby handing the presidency
to the front-man W, may be viewed as another classic example of The
Iron Law of Oligarchy.
This Iron Law, formulated at the start of the 20th century by the
German sociologist Robert Michels, states that every organization is
operated for the benefit of those who control the organization. [Robert
Michels, _Political Parties: A Sociological Study of Oligarchical
Tendencies of Modern Democracy_, The Free Press, New York (1966), pp
342-356].

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
