<center>The Political Organism</center>
===

People align on political lines of identity to enjoy the influence they perceive they gain from that alignment over the governmental-organism. Much like a nesting-doll has many layers for which each smaller doll fits within, and only when taken completely apart can the craftsmanship be fully appreciated, the nature of the organisms for which identity dictates alignment feeds higher orders of identity in a similar fashion. The perception one holds of their surroundings directly influence their alignment on the political spectrum. Core values aid in that alignment mechanism. These core values are personalized but are traceable to a larger orchestration of smaller forms of identity that feed the individualized “self-identity”. 

The family unit helps shape the political alignment of an individual just as social situational-experiences, which reinforce or break down held belief systems, tend to push a person to align with one political party or movement or another. All political parties and movements are geared at gaining approval and are always attempting to recruit new members into their “groupthink”. The concept of groupthink is applicable to the formation of political parties and movements in that they are selling a mind-state. Political parties are competing energies, all fighting for control over the governmental-organism. They play on your emotionally-charged, core values to force alignment. 

For instance, if someone were to have a core value that dictated that “abortion is immorally wrong”, they would have a tough time aligning with a political party that had “pro-choice” as one of its core values. They may agree on every other core value for that political party, but depending on the importance they place on their own core values will most definitely dictate which party they chose to identify with. In America, we have two dominant political parties currently. People are free to align with one of the dominant two, but are also free to identify with one of the independent parties, or they can even choose to not identify at all. That is the freedom of choice, or the illusion of freedom. 

The power of the political organism is directly attributed to the size of its population. The power is in the numbers, and without the ability for the organism to evolve as society evolves, we would see the introduction of new political parties every few years. Conformity and alignment and the notion that we are free to stand with a collection of the collective-human organism to make changes to the governmental-organism shows how all these organismic systems are interconnected. Identity plays a powerful role in how we see our existence and life itself. How we identify, does matter. Some choose to identify as an individual first, and others lose sight of the commonality we all share. Which brings me to the next organism of control, which is that of the corporation.
