What are the radical right rich Republicans trying to accomplish?
All you have to do is read this book, “The Shock Doctrine.”
If you don’t understand “the Shock Doctrine,” you flat don’t understand the right wing agenda, and you don’t understand their means, methods, and strategy.
They are deliberately allowing the infrastructure to erode and then fail, which we can call “Shock doctrine. We have allowed big corporations and billionaires to take away our ability to hold politician’s “feet to the fire,” and take away our democracy.
Their methods are truly "Machiavellian."
Disaster capitalists wait until a disaster happens, or is MADE to happen, when the populace is in a vulnerable position. Then they implement their "program" of radical reform "all at once" while the populace is in shock.
Deregulation (of big corporations, not the people)
Cuts to government spending (for the people, not for big corporations)
Privatization (schools, healthcare)
REMEMBER:
All you have to do is *nothing* and sooner or later a disaster WILL happen.
“That practitioners of the shock doctrine tend to seek a blank slate on which to create their ideal free market economies, which usually requires a violent destruction of the existing economic order.
“The similarities between economic shock doctrine and the original shock therapy – a psychiatric technique where electric shocks were applied to mentally ill patients.”

One of the most influential books among global power elites in the past 10 years is Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, by Naomi Klein, published in 2007. The shock doctrine is an essential concept for understanding how power elites such as central bankers, finance ministers and the ultra-rich work behind the scenes to advance their agendas.
It’s also how today’s world could quickly turn into the dystopian 2024 scenario I’ve penned. This is not conspiracy mongering or science fiction; this is fact.
Shock doctrine is simple. Political leaders use crises to ramrod policies into place no one would accept in normal times.
When the shock occurs… People begin to value order above liberty.
The shock doctrine begins with the fact that power elites have agendas that take decades or even centuries to implement. These agendas include things like world money, global taxation, control of physical gold, population control and other plans intended to increase the power and wealth of the few at your expense.
Political elites are not fools. They understand that their agenda is highly unpopular. They also understand that democracy empowers everyday citizens and makes their unpopular plans hard to implement. This is where the shock doctrine comes in useful.
A shock can take many forms. It can be a financial panic, terror attack, natural disaster, assassination or other extreme event of a kind that seems to come out of the blue but is actually somewhat regular and predictable.
When the shock occurs, people become fearful and look to their leaders for comfort. People begin to value order above liberty. It is at these critical moments that the elites stand ready with a “plan” that will restore order but also secretly advance their agenda.
In effect, inevitable shocks are used as a cover to implement plans that you would not accept in ordinary times. Order is restored at the expense of liberty. When the shock wears off, the new order remains but liberty is lost forever. This is the shock doctrine at work. After each episode, the elites retreat and wait for the next shock, which is always just a matter of time.
A good example is the USA Patriot Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 2001. This was the legislative response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. There were a lot of good items in the Patriot Act that aided the global war on terror and helped to eliminate Osama bin Laden. But there is also much that has been abused in the years since.
