Totalitarianism vs Authoritarianism - a suggested article by a subscriber.
I am happy to provide resources to subscribers who ask for particular topics, this site is more a compilation of stories, stacks, spaces of interest. Here is a brief article by subscriber request.
The request:
”I'd love an article on totalitarianism vs authoritarianism and are there thinks Trump has done that could be in those categories?? I think the heart of this question I saw posted on Facebook lies in the fact that someone can support Trump's presidency while not blindly agreeing with every decision. Certain actions and rhetoric of Trump may exhibit authoritarian tendencies rather than totalitarianism (control over all aspects of society). It does concern me that this could be abused with the wrong leader taking America into a completely different direction. America was hanging on a thread and desperate measures needed. I am optimistically hopeful with caution. “
President Trump was elected to be the CEO of the Executive Branch, who has duties laid out in the US Constitution. Particularly Articles , which by the design has the US President as the head of that branch, and he is elected to that position by the people, not appointed or by monarchy birth rite.
Here is the text of Article 2, Sections 1 and 2, which relates to your question (cut and paste from this reference, at the end):
Section 1
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall choose from them by Ballot the Vice President.
The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Section 2
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Link to the Article in our Constitution
Here are some good articles laying out what is really going on, the active leftists are a new generation of Soviet Communists, who are very upset with Putin because Russia now has the head of their government the Holy Russian Orthodox Church. And the Russian Communist party has almost no power, except keeps pushing to have a new atheistic Soviet Union again, pretending the Soviet years were a blessing for Russia. How was that set up in the USA?? Well, a great book from the 1950s, lays out the plan very well. I listened to the audio book version.
And this article, how Lenin saw USA idealistic leftists in the early 1900s.
A Great Article which is very relevant regarding the current Demoncrat party.
Lenin’s Useful Idiots
A great lengthy book, I loved that lays out the foundation of the American Communist party from the 1920s and 30s. I loved listening to the audio book version.
Witness by Whittaker Chambers.
The “Holy” New Russian Empire as seen by Putin and Russian Orthodox Church leadership (of which Putin claims to be an adherent of, away from the atheism of his past, as a child of the Soviet Union), a response to the former Atheism of the Soviet Union foundations.
Article on the Holy Russian Orthodox Empire reborn
If one understands the above article, one can appreciate why the Russian government calls the Ukraine current National Socialist leadership “Nazis” and sees them as Russia’s enemy, more than the country Ukraine which was designed by Stalin, to subdue warring factions in Eastern Europe. As one should recall, Hitler and Stalin originally had a pact, where a treaty between the German National Socialists (communists also, the Nazis), and National Socialists of the region which worked with Hitler to exterminate Jews and other unsuitables in their region of Europe. Here is a graphic of the Former Polish Holy Empire (Roman Catholic), torn apart by the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1700s. This was then followed up by the French Socialists (of their atheistic revolution of the 1700s), who had Napoleon who invaded Eastern Europe (Roman Catholic) and tried to destroy Russia and it’s Russian Orthodox Church, all in the name of their atheistic dogma, which was incompatible with any Christian denominations, RC, Eastern Orthodox, as well. It is no accident that Marx and Hegel were both educated in France.
The END.
If any other subscribers has problems or suggestions you want me to write on I will be happy to do so. I need that kind of motivation. Also, if I get more suggestions I can devote my time to this endeavor, to hopefully attract more paid subscribers. If you all like this article and want more from me, please comment on other articles, or reply to my posts that fit the topic you are interested in.
I can devote as many hours as I need to address each suggestion, but I can’t do it unless I get enough paid subscribers to change gears away from my chemistry consulting for this effort. So, if you want this, please become a paid subscriber, and even a Sponsor subscriber if you can afford it. I can do this job in the afternoon to keep busy, using suggestions from my current subscriber to address each issue, you may want my perspective on, at least to think about and come to your own conclusions.
These efforts fits my running for the US Congress in NC#2, because the current representative Deborah Ross represents a Modern Atheistic Eugenicist mind set. She (if she knows what a woman is…. LOL ) supports abortion for any reason at any gestational age, and the sterilization of confused teenagers as illustrated now in the perverted devilish “Trans” movement. Instead of sterilizing black kids in the 1950s, 60s and early 1970s, now they use a perverted view of gender vs biological fact to justify sterilization and the mutilation of children mothers were unable to abort earlier in their lives.
