独裁苦の解決
独裁苦は独裁国・歴史を見れば明かで何千万人が（戦争・処刑・混乱・飢餓等）殺され、（平等・平和・自由・自治等）奪われ、（嘘・デマ・教育等）騙され、（人権・性・世代等）犯され、（生命・生涯）迷わされ、被害は時空に拡大している。
独裁は金字塔文明（国家・企業・メデイア・宗教・教育等）の組織そのものにある。余剰蓄積による都市国家は城壁により内外差別し戦争を初め奴隷・階級などを生み一極集中・統制の金字塔組織を作り統率者が独裁者になる事を可能にした。
国家・文明（都市化）以前の文化生活・社会は一般的に共存・共同・協働の相互依存・平等・平和な社会であり自他の差別・特化は際立っていなかったが、個人の物力の所有が拡大し社会的役割が特化するにつれ個我意識が強化されていった。
名・利：力・物：利便・商品の所有・蓄積が増すにつれ都市の富力・権力も増し、生存競争による業の貪瞋痴三毒も増し、植民・戦争・階級等も増し、根本の個我（self）意識は増し、国家（state）意識も増し力・物を買う金の３M競争も増した。
社会の統率者は金物力の集中により取り巻き利益集団魔術(magic: military- academia-government-industry-complex)を従え、大衆を自我・自国の利益・神話・宗教・デマ・分断・恐怖等により地位を固め王・皇帝・独裁者になって行く。
一旦独裁が確立すると世襲になり地位・身分・階級等により情報・知識・職業・権力等の差別・搾取・統制も強まり封建社会となる。ほぼ一万年前の農業・生産革命、五千年前の都市・社会革命、二千五百年前の精神・文化革命を経て今に至る。
金字塔文明を軸転換したのが宗教・精神・文化革命であるがこれは法・道・神などと呼ばれる普遍法によって３Mの奪い合いの五禍を３H（聖命・心・和）の分かち合いにの五福に変えるもので覚道の法は縁起で一切現象は相依・相対とした。
縁起（因縁生起）は何物・者も孤立・主宰としてある事はなく共存・共同の社会・世界により共栄できることを覚証・活動し自己の権利と共に他者への責任を果たすべきと教え、五戒・地球倫理を皆が守れば独裁苦は解決出来る事を示している。
民主社会は独裁を防ぐ為に三権分離の抑制均衡を法制化しているが行政が実権を握り立法・司法を弱体化する傾向がある。選挙民は選挙の責任を果たし立候補者が地球倫理を遵守し公務員は公僕であることを厳しく判断・投票・要請すべきである。
独裁苦を解決する為は誰もが命帝網社会・世界の珠玉の一つである事に目覚めて目先の自利・自国利ではなく過去・現在・未来共同社会・世界の為に行動すべきであり、我利ゼロサム競争・破滅から共同相乗協力・共栄へ共に友として精進しよう！
Solution to Dictatorship Suffering
The suffering caused by dictatorship is evident when we look at dictatorial states and their histories. Tens of millions of people have been killed through war, execution, social upheaval, famine, and other causes. People have been deprived of equality, peace, freedom, self-governance, and other basic conditions of human dignity; deceived through lies, disinformation, manipulated education, and propaganda; violated in their human rights, sexuality, and generations; and misled throughout their lives. The resulting suffering spreads across both space and time.
The possibility of dictatorship lies within the very structure of our pyramidal civilization—states, corporations, media, religions, educational institutions, and other hierarchical organizations. City-states, made possible by the accumulation of surplus, divided insiders from outsiders by city walls, engaged in warfare, produced slavery and social classes, and developed pyramidal organizations characterized by centralized power and control. Such structures made it possible for those at the summit to become dictators.
Before states and urban civilization, human cultural life and societies were generally characterized more strongly by coexistence, sharing, cooperation, interdependence, relative equality, and peace, with less pronounced differentiation and specialization between self and others. As individual possession of material resources and power expanded and social roles became increasingly specialized, however, consciousness of the individual self became increasingly intensified.
With the pursuit of fame and fortune—might and matter—and the increasing possession and accumulation of conveniences and commodities, the wealth and power of cities also increased. Competition for survival intensified the karmic Triple Poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion, while colonization, warfare, social classes, and other forms of domination expanded. The fundamental consciousness of the individual self grew stronger, as did identification with the state, together with competition for the 3M: Money, Matter, and Might.
Through the concentration of money, matter, and might, social rulers gather around themselves powerful interest groups—what may be called MAGIC: the Military-Academic-Government-Industry Complex. By manipulating the masses through self-interest, national interest, myths, religion, disinformation, division, fear, and other means, rulers consolidate their positions and may become kings, emperors, and dictators.
Once dictatorship is established, it may become hereditary. Discrimination, exploitation, and control over information, knowledge, occupations, authority, and other social resources become increasingly entrenched through differences of position, status, and class, eventually producing feudal societies. Humanity has passed through the agricultural and productive revolution beginning roughly ten thousand years ago, the urban and social revolution beginning roughly five thousand years ago, and the spiritual and cultural revolution beginning around twenty-five hundred years ago, bringing us to the present.
The great transformation that sought to turn the axis of pyramidal civilization was the religious, spiritual, and cultural revolution. Through the universal law called Dharma, Dao, Dei, and other names, it sought to transform the Five Calamities arising from struggles for the 3M into the Five Blessings through sharing the 3H—Holy Life, Heart, and Harmony. The Dharma of the Awakened Way identified this universal law as Dependent Origination, teaching that all phenomena are interrelated and relative.
Dependent Origination (origination through causes and conditions) teaches that no thing and no person exists in isolation or as an independent sovereign entity. We can flourish together only through the society and world of coexistence and cooperation. Awakening to this reality, verifying it in our own lives, and acting upon it, we should fulfill our responsibilities to others together with protecting our own rights. If everyone observes the Five Precepts and the Global Ethic, the suffering caused by dictatorship can be overcome.
Democratic societies institutionalize separation of powers and checks and balances among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches in order to prevent dictatorship. Yet executive power can tend to accumulate effective authority and weaken the legislative and judicial branches. Voters therefore bear an important responsibility in elections: they should carefully examine whether candidates uphold the Global Ethic, vote accordingly, and continually demand that public officials remember that they are public servants.
To overcome the suffering of dictatorship, every person must awaken to the realization that each of us is a jewel in Indra’s Net of life, society, and the world. Rather than acting merely for immediate self-interest or national interest, we should act for the common society and world of past, present, and future generations.
Let us therefore move together—
from zero-sum competition for selfish gain and mutual destruction
to cooperative, synergistic action and co-prosperity;
from separation to interdependence;
from monopoly to sharing;
from domination to responsibility;
from the isolated self to the shared world.
Let us strive together, not as rivals struggling against one another, but as friends sharing and sustaining the one interdependent world.
