User talk:Global ideology

Ideology is the name for the unwritten assumptions, even often subconciously held, underlying the actions of one actor/player or the relationships among a set of players.

Until the rise of globalization, the ruling ideology was National Ideology. In that case ideology refers to the underlying assumptions governing the relationships among the major players of the socio-economic & political system of the nation.The assumptions reflect the realities/ conditions/ technology, existing at the time of creation of the system, which took place some 200/300 years ago.In national systems there are typically 5 players. The corporation in the economic subsystem, the political parties and government in the political subsystem and the public and the investor in the social subsystem. Very broadly speaking, the corporation makes the money, the political subsystem distributes the money and the social subsystem, owns and spends the money.

Typically in such a system, a core ideology underlying the relationship between the government and the corporation is that the national corporations needs all the help it can from the government in order to remain globally competitive, because the national corporation brings jobs to the public, taxes to the government, profit to the investor and national power and security to the nation. Another typical ideology is that any global destruction is good as long as it benefits the nation, (starting with colonialism).An important current national ideology is that the public can assure itsef a lifetime of economic wellbeing from employment only. Another popular one is that peace can be best obtained by means of a combination of war, shuttle diplomacy, embargoes, peacekeeping and international courts of justice. There are about 8 such core ideologies.

If the global village is different from the nation and many authorities say so, then if the nation has national ideology, the global village must have Global Ideology and that global ideology is as different from national ideology as the current global realities are different from past national realities upon which the current national system is based. Since these two realities are radically different one may assume that global ideology must be radically different from national reality.

Since ideology is the motivating mind set underlying relationships, it follows that a system refleting global ideology is likewise radically different from a system based on past national realities. It also implies that to continue to live under a system which is based on asumptions of remembrances of times past, irrelevant to current global realities, is a sytem which is based on false and erroneous assumptions, which can only lead a host of problems. The long list of current problems,economic, social and political are then the symptoms of the (mal)functioning of the system, which can only be eliminated by changing ideology, but since these ideologies are incorruptable, being the legs which uphold the system, ideology can only be changed by changing system.
