Legitimacy Driven By Moral Clarity Encourages Dissent - China's Communists Seek To Tighten Grip On Dissent

Years ago we wrote that coming volatility and possibly even revolution in China would lead to a crackdown on freedoms. Both revolution and a rise in state control at that time were generally considered to be completely ridiculous notions. Especially by other members of the illegitimate status quo on Wall Street, in the economics community and the big business community. Not any more. Rest assured, the communists know the risks for civil unrest within a political structure with no moral clarity. This trend most certainly will continue.

Legitimacy welcomes and encourages dissent. It has nothing to hide and everything to gain. It exists through policies determined by moral clarity. It is noble and virtuous. It hones the blade of its moral superiority and betters itself through reasoned dissent and new ideas. Illegitimacy fears dissent for it knows it maintains itself only through control and power. How many illegitimate bureaucracies can you name in the world today? Not just governments either.
