Essay:Systems of support
The Systems of support or simply "The System" are the collection of key systems which provide for and maintain modern life. Many of these systems could be considered necessary to modern life. However, since many of these systems are unsustainable, extremely fragile, and already failing, developing alternative systems of support and investing in tangibles is an extremely important mission for communities.
The continued survival of all of the innumerable good things of "The West" including its systems is one of the particular missions of conservatives, libertarians, preppers-survivalists, and American patriots. This mission particularly means the survival of the limited government Republican system (not Democracy) established by the United State Constitution and its Bill of Rights, the survival of the liberty-oriented American values - Small town values of Real America that built the success of these United States over the last two "America centuries". This also implies the traditional values, capitalism and free enterprise supported by modern conservatism - modern preparedness, which are the original American patriot Founding Fathers' values. For the survival of these systems and values, it requires preparation.
In the first decade of the 21st century, we easily see these values and way of life being imperiled when faced with the destructiveness of a diverse collection of forces
- forces of so-called "revolutionary" liberal collectivist forces from the entitlement mentality Welfare state (ObamaCare-Common Core-Social Security),
- forces of the globalist elitist gun control-focused (citizen disarmament) left-wing socialist Nanny state - United Nations - "One world government forces with continual incrementalist
- forces of the leftist post modern" version of a "socialist-communistic" Police state (including The Perpetual War (War on Drugs - War on Terror), crony capitalism, the militarization of police, asset forfeiture confiscation for Police budget deficit via RICO, SWAT "Brownshirts" and Pre-dawn No-knock raids, Sneak and peek warrants, and domestic mass surveillance of law-abiding citizens, "Stasi"-like secret police "If You See Something, Say Something" informants, and other exponential expansion of the Police state just as found in 20th century National Socialism-Communism-Stasi)
- forces of Islamic Jihadism with Shira law - Terrorists -- Please realize that Islam is entirely compatible with socialism and that particularly in America many Muslims (e.g. Black Panther Party, et al) also advocates of socialism-Marxism-communism. See Arab socialism (Arabic: الاشتراكية العربية, Al-Ishtirākīya Al-‘Arabīya), which is a political ideology based on an seemingly strange, yet all to real amalgamation of Pan-Arabism and socialism. Look at the numerous African nations that are both [[Islamic] and with socialist tendencies or actual socialist governments. See: African socialism: the Pan-Africa movement including the 20th century Pan-African Union of African States, 21st century African Union.
