Deciphering the political culture of the USA
According to the political dictionary of Mateuccci, Pasquali and Bobbio, the political system of the USA consists of a set of dynamics that bring together elites that they call a polyarchy formed by the forces of groups that influence and determine the concert of powers that direct the American nation like an automatic pilot of an aircraft.
This concert is formed by the systems of large banks, by the capitalists of the oil sector, by the military industrial complex sector, by the capitalists of the cultural production system of musical, performing and film arts (video and films), and by the banking services sector. This arrangement of forces is projected in the two largest party fronts named by the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
Within these groups are four ideological currents: the communists, who survived the rural commune systems since the Mayflower landed in the thirteen colonies with the tendencies of the Paris communes and the experiences of the Phalanasteries in England of the pre-socialists Fourier, Rousseau, Fabian and mixed Protestantism with rural cooperative communities and community and communitarian systems.
The other group developed the urbanized area of the Great Lakes, in cities like New York with the wave of immigrants from Germany, Italy and England, who came with capitalist ideas and created limited companies with shares on the stock exchanges that became the fever of the American dream of getting rich through speculation without having to work, causing the 1929 crisis, the peak of speculation and the madness of financial bubbles; The first in 1929, which will never be the last, was speculative with many businesses, from oil, railroads, factoring companies and stock brokerages, investment banks, the boom in the steel and railroad industries, and the automobile industry with Ford Motors.
Then, the two major parties fragmented internally into four groups, not always mutually exclusive, with a composition of groups: communists, capitalists, sovereigntists, and globalists.
The communists are more visible through humanitarian-oriented universities with a liberal democratic tendency; the capitalists concentrated on multinational companies that financed even companies from the USSR, the Nazis, and bet on the transfer of basic industries to China on a turnkey basis, in the hope that the Chinese would enter with only the hand of cheap oba without native technology incapable of reverse engineering; the result of the unexpected with the surprise of the creation of native and copied technology surpassing its creators who believed in Wallerstein's theories of the world system with the international division of labor between the center and the periphery in the globalized system.
These four groups fight and confront each other inside and outside each party, and in each period of American politics they appear as a confusion of opportunism and utilitarian morality called double standards, but in truth what is wrong with American politics is the rotation of groups that eventually come into power and try to impose their project, and even during a term the groups constantly sabotage each other. Every now and then there is a murder through assassination of presidents and presidential candidates, senators, party leaders, businessmen, celebrities as a consequence of the disputes of these four groups competing for power in the USA. Perhaps this is the way to sustain national unity and integrity that prevents the United States from breaking up into smaller nations because the four groups are homogeneously distributed throughout American society and population where tensions apparently seem to be of another nature such as: racial, cultural, economic or religious, which are not irrelevant but which hide the differences that really matter, which are these four groups that govern, no matter who is in the Supreme Court, or in the Federal Senate, in the House of Representatives, in the presidency of the country, control always follows the result of the tensions between the four groups, which is why the electoral system tends to dilute and concentrate power in the majoritarian district system that swallows the differences and absorbs the majority tendency of that moment and establishes a rotation through a tacit agreement between political elites that controls the general elections.
