The current Anglo-Saxon dictatorship is first imposed by the Empire of force, with its repressive military apparatus, by becoming owner of territories, waging wars, imposing governments via coups and civic-military dictatorships, expanding imperialistically to other territories, maintaining hundreds of military bases around the world, control land and sea trade routes and especially the means of production, followed, secondly, by the regulatory legal power installed by a State of International Law and its supranational bureaucratic bodies such as the IMF in what economic, NATO in the military and the UN in the political, which operationalize the capitalist political agenda and the neoliberal model coming from the bourgeois class and world synarchy, the sum of monarchies and high bourgeoisie, based and commanded in and from London, place where it is quoted In the Metals and Polymers Exchange, there is the lbma, the comex, the banking City, etc. Said International and supranational State of Law is the normalized Institutionalization and legalization of the Violence of the dominant and hegemonic Bourgeois Class that economically exploits the dominated working class, oppresses it socially, culturally and value-wise, and dominates it politically, alienating and objectifying the us as a technified working class. Thirdly, the political power, hailed by the UN and its attempt to install a single planetary vulgate where, in the dialectical dispute, consensus is achieved from the imperialist vision of the Pax Romana, that is, a consensus that is not such, but is a subjugation, and in fourth place, ideological power, where it is proclaimed and megaphoned from the ideological apparatus of the capitalist State, and its bureaucratic hinge together with the form of administration of power postmodernly in a network and from the fragmentation of said power, yielding quotas of power that come out cheaper but without modifying the purpose, making a false isovalence, as if everything were the same, fighting for it with reason, science and facts, thus, this ideology distorts reality, using a part only of Reason, in a functional and instrumental way to adapt said reality to the needs, desires and requirements of a class, in this case, the hegemonic ruling class that is the bourgeoisie.
