Even in universities, one cannot openly discuss issues of public interest.

Lee Kuan Yew won't like it. Wait he exposed as political fraud how?

It's best to just brainwash the public through state media.

Termie blames the government for everything even if Kenneth from RP takes over the reins. Blame them for the sky not raining, for termie not studying hard and ending up in ITE.

Its not really a matter of which party is in power, or which leader you're talking about. The entire system is corrupt at the fundamental level when you have hierarchies where power is concentrated at the top.

As long as differential advantage, meaning that those at the top have more money, power, authority etc, than those on the lower levels, there will always be corruption because of the need for self-preservation aka protecting vested interests against those wanting justice and progress.

And as always, history is written by the winners, those in power.

Unless we correct this fundamental flaw in our social, political and economic structure, the power elite will always engage in corrupt and abberant behaviour regardless which party is in power, whether its the WP or SDP etc etc.

By Christopher Tremewan

If we ever want to transcend the current political and economic stratification, social divide etc, there is a need to see beyond the irrelevant ideologies of "democracy", "socialism", "communism", whatever "ism" that is prevalent in the political discourse.

There has to be a focus on what really matters, human survival and the environmental stewardship. And under the current paradigm where we ignore the above and focus solely on monetary profit, while trapped in a political and social paradigm that stresses competition, hierarchy and domination, there will never be human progress towards taking care of ourselves and our planet.

And that is what The Venus Project offers. While different countries operate under a different social context, the underlying mechanism of our societies remain fundamentally the same, and it is only be recognising and addressing the fundamental flaw can we ever hope to solve the problems of corruption, crime, poverty and war.

Venus project is just another interpretation of a communist society, although the founders deny it.

What do you mean "left wing rhetoric"?

And before you start posting URLs to articles and pasting walls of text, I would prefer if you explained in your own words.

According to Fresco, poverty,crime, corruption and war are the result of scarcity created by the present world's profit-based economic system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Venus_Project

Modern monopolist capitalism on a world-wide scale — imperialist wars are absolutely inevitable under such an economic system, as long as private property in the means of production exists.

When did Lenin write that? 1920. In which context is Fresco making that statement. Presently, 2010.

Hello miss chemistry of NUS,

Looks like you have been brainwashed by the opposition camp successfully. Go ahead you opposition and push PAP out of the government if you can.

Cos I will take back Singapore back from you opposition. But first , i wish u all luck in toppling PAP.

Frankly speaking, any tom dick harry can publish books here and there lah. Dun living in past history so much lah. Singapore has the lowest child mortality you know in the PRESENT.... DUh!!!

LKY is scheming is only you say, opposition says, and opposition books say what. Opposition books will of course say what they want to say like. You want the truth you need a judge to hold a trial for both sides to fight it all. Understand? Not opposition read their books and have their beliefs and PAP do the same... Wake up the idea lah.

Good luck.
