ORGANIZATION :POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT:DEEP STATE

The economic origins of the Deep state

Major and minor events in history are at many times unexplainable. Wars especially appear to be endemic to human civilisation even when they are not waged topreserve direct threat to existential survival. There is a feeling is that there are false flag events that we mistake as real reasons that organizations ,whether ancient kingdoms or modern corporate nations go to war. Pirate ships used to fy flags of maritime nations to falsely give an impression of legality to their enterprise of plundering. Thus wars are justified on the basis of religious persecution,dictatorships,spreading of enlightenment but the real reaso may be different. These are spread by a powerful elite in states which benefit from wars and aggression. These are called the deep state. The theory of deep state is debunked as ‘Conspiracy theoriries’ , but there may be a firm basis of it.

     The basis of the Deep state has existed  since ancient state formation occurred after the agricultural revolution. Prior to this hunting tribes coming to conflict on overlapping territories for resources would withdraw to reduce it. With agriculture and permanant settlement arose private property .A group of people arose to defend these permanent settlements. With specialised armies these groups could not be removed and became hereditary rulers of ancient states.However the ruling class was not the king only but a deep state with courtiers,nobles.military generals and so on.Their income came from taxing peasants of their produce. 

    The interesting thing was the deep state was politically and economically unstable leading to succession of empires and dynasties changing territorial extent like an amoeba. The economic basis has been explained by PICKETTY. In his book he has shown that when rate of capital accumulation( return from land through taxes) exceeds rate of growth ( income of peasants) weath gradually accumulates more and more to the top segments. Since rate of growth  in ancient societies was near zero for thousands of yearsdue to stagnant technological innovation this means tat with constant taxation peasants were impoverished and longed to;rebel. The politics reason for instability is self evident. Since immense wealth could be obtained by replacing a king courtiers and neighbouring kingdoms constantly plotted to overthrow them. The deep state is thus an explanation of the overthrow of kingdoms and wars between them which cannot be explained otherwise clearly.It is based on distribution economics and capital accumulation and not on economics of efficient  production.

Greek and Roman deep states

 The Ancient Greek states consisted of landed aristocrats on whose estates slavers toiled and independent tillers and traders.
