A political community can be described as a group of people who
follow and believe in a set political mindset. A common example of this is the
battle between "The Left V. The Right". This battle includes the
Republicans and the Democrats, which myself personally never understood, but these
two groups have their own doctrines in which the two follow. Some of the
republican doctrine included avoiding tax increases, opposes abortion, and
oppose the marriage of gays, while the democrat’s doctrines are typically the
opposite. They included new taxes rate depending on income, for legal abortion,
and supports gay marriage. Theses political community play an active role in
reversing or stagnating a community's developmental progress. A political
community can lead to formulation of an unhealthy community or a healthy one.
An example
of this is when a political community alters approach towards its ideology. An
example of this was brought up by Robert Reich. Robert questioned Trumps move
of placing Stephen Bannon above the director of national intelligence and
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Reich article also discusses the new
policy of putting America first and how it is a dangerous route. Trump's decision
has caused several responses. Some responses within Reich article include,
"Here’s the big worry: Trump is unhinged and ignorant. Bannon is nuts and
malicious." This quote offers a vivid example of how these groups
can tear a community apart. Political differences can make normal conversations
into ugly ones. While in a healthy community, this group can have a more
positive than a negative impact. Why this is true because these questioning of
these ideas can lead to an effective debate and lead to have somewhat of a
consensus. Each type of community can alter how their approach these
disagreements and questioning. Changing one's outlook can change the course of
a community’s long-term development.
While the article
by Rosie Gray, focuses on the Anti-Democracy Movement. She discusses how Steve
Bannon has been in contract with Curtis Yarvin. Yarvin ideology focuses on that
democracy does not work. It is a flawed concept that is inefficiency and solves
nothing. Yarvin prefers thee NRx or a rejection of democracy, for autocratic
rule. This community seen as an unhealthy community due to its following of
autocratic rule. Both healthy and unhealthy community may see this move as a
way of ending their ways of life. Autocratic ruling can directly change their
ways of life and their own personalize choice in decision-making. Proof of this
treatment is when Rose article states, "The core of our problem is that
there is no one with the secure authority to fix things. The core of our
solution is to find a man, and put him in charge, with a real chain of command,
and a clear ownership structure." and "The only viable path to
restoration of competent government is the simple and hard way:
Become worthy.
Accept power.
Rule.”
These two quotes show
how one person can take away a community's ability to make choices for themselves.
These communities can combat this by standing up to the NRz movement and over
thrown the group if it continues that far.
