Reciprocity 3/2017

In line with U.S – Soviet Cold War ideology, the European Union, now rejected by the English, was founded on “reciprocity” or mutuality. This is the mantra of  European political horse traders. The Central Intelligence Agency differs little. (The US intelligence and political communities base their outlook on mutual agency).

Throughout a Europe crowded with deserted factories and abandoned workshops, employers and state agencies are free to exploit and terrorise workers’ children for intellectual product while keeping them in a state of penury, economic idleness and physical ill health and acting out police dramas as recognition,all activities conducted in secret or semi-publicly.

Friedrich Engels rejected English Common Sense (‘"that fine old man that he is") and was the most prominent Social Democrat who set the stage for acceleration of English social and economic development in the 1880’s.

Now the English have rejected E.U. mutuality styling it political interference and unnecessary integration and centralisation focussed on a dying continent and they have embraced “that fine old man that he is – Common Sense”.

Reciprocity? The life of the thinker and his recompense in Europe ?

Reciprocity means police theatre, in effect a pauper’s broth of street drama, public invective and payment only with solopsisms leading to the bitter fruits of regret for trusting such manifestly untrustworthy spivs as the French or Germans. An innovator draws get-rich-quick types such as managers a nd business developers as a light attracts a moth.

Russia -the Goliath in the East and North 

Russia as distinct from Britain receives its international guidance from the All-Union Geopolitical Institute.

Gyorgy Arbatov once preached and broadcast to the West that multipolarity or a comity of nations and rival poles of attraction was the best way to avoid international conflict and guarantee harmony,detente and rapprochement.

China sings from the same hymnbook today but is that necessary,I ask, since many in Russia and China are no longer resolved to point a gun at their foe's head.

Those of the intelligentsia who make allegations of Russian roulette and games of Chinese blinds and swinging lanterns are mentors out to influence young minds in the most cultured societies of the West but that is for another day....

The observations above invite the question as to what is reciprocity and what is "a unipolar world" and,even more so,what is multipolarity.

Reciprocity is 'you scratch my back and I will scratch yours'. At a workingman's level or 'you help me and I will help you' .Or in commercial terms,"you buy from me and I will buy from you".

Multipolarity is the doctrine of  'many heads are better than one" or equal rights and a fair division of power and influence amongst the nations of the world and their governments.

Unipolarity is in simple terms,' the big fellow always comes out on top in the end',the village headman system or hostage taking as a guarantee against a community's good behaviour. It is also in a sovereign or constitutional system the indivisibility of power and authority.

It was in recent times,Sinn Fein which sailed under the banner of reciprocity which has recently establishes itself as the only 'go-to' party in society and government or,if you plet,a form of unipolarity.
