Karl Rove, Apparatchik

Published on 3/30/2007 in Home »Editorial »Editorial


In the old Soviet Union, every government agency, every military unit, every naval vessel had an apparatchik of the Communist Party on board to make sure the party line was in force. In that way, politics had the upper hand in both the administration of public policy and in matters of war and peace.

Such appears to be the influence of Karl Rove, whose name crops up in every instance of improper White House meddling. Mr. Rove was in the middle of administration's attempts to manipulate intelligence to its own purposes before the outbreak of the second Iraq War and later cover it up. More recently, the growing controversy over fired U.S. attorneys not considered loyal to the administration has Mr. Rove's fingerprints on it.

3. Single-party state.

From Wikipedia:

A single-party state or one-party system or single-party system is a type of party system government in which a single political party forms the government and no other parties are permitted to run candidates for election. Sometimes de facto single-party state is used about a dominant-party system where unfair laws or practices prevent the opposition from legally getting power. Some single party states only outlaw opposition parties, subordinate allied parties can exist as part of a popular front. Such dominant parties are usually reffered to in their specific contexts as the Party.

In most cases, single-party states have arisen from fascist, socialist, or nationalist ideologies, particularly in the wake of independence from colonial rule.

The U.S. is not on the list. Yet. Hopefully the 2006 elections started the process to keep it from happening.

4. Apparatchik puts some underlings in a paranoid stance. They then

attack anyone who doesn't toe the line. So people "self censor" their actions. Animal Farm results.
