Commulism and Changing Global Polarities

[Joanne98]

There has been some mainstream media press of late, lightly touching on the subject of global polarity. Yet with little intuitive and/or accurate thought; not unlike a similar case to be made for their biased and/or non-comprehensive MSM political commentary and analysis.

That view simply seeing the U.S. in lone and unchallenged hegemonic status for decades to come. Indeed, one far from reality, with no recognition whatsoever of how “Commulism” (COMMUnism fueled by CapitaLISM) has almost overnight, disturbingly crept in to aggressively challenge that supremacy.

The Analyst offers the following objective assessment to open the debate with thoughtful OpEdNews readers and thinkers, on this important distinction and vision of the future. Commentary generated which hopefully is then considered by the MSM to rethink its own on this and other related fronts. And to help the U.S. evolve with the times, to still thrive and lead.

From a “polarity” in international relations perspective, the overall Cold War situation was really one that can be described as bi-polar, with the world strategically aligning in two camps. Of course the Sino-Soviet split during that period might suggest a multi-polar situation, but the Chinese were again visibly quiet and aside from population numbers arguably not true super power status. So it's questionable during that period whether there was an active third super power, and too if it came down to picking sides, they’d certainly align Communist (Soviet).

One can argue the period from 1989 until just recently as the world living in a uni-polar situation, with but one superpower being the U.S., possessing most of the global cultural, economic, and military influence. Call it the age of U.S. hegemony, which is now rapidly disappearing as the world moves back to a bi-polar if not derivative multi-polar mix.
