Why the Thai elite
love the coup
Prayuth's police state is now well established. Those who refuse to accept the new order, wait impatiently for Marshal law to be lifted to resume their peaceful anti-coup protests, without the risk of a military trial.
Those who are "happy" with military rule, continue sipping champagne by their pools in their luxury flats in Bangkok, smiling as they show their approval of the coup which has brought them "peace".
Radical royalist often sound like scratched records. Their favourite one-liners include the phrase: "you don't understand Thailand", but it really isn't that hard to see what is happening in Thailand. It's called fascism.
A quick glance at the profile of those who support the coup and those who don't, and a very clear picture begins to emerge. Those who support the coup, are reactionary royalists who have most to lose from democratic rule.
Those who oppose military rule, are working class Thais, who see democracy and Human Rights as the only way to break free from the dominance of the elite who keep them "in their place".
The rich urban elite hate the pre-coup version of democracy because it means that everyone is equal. To them, the poor cannot sit alongside the rich with their heads at the same level. Their place is at the feet of the rich and their selfish king.
In a democracy everyone is equal. There is no elite cast system. Other fundamentals include one man, one vote, and the rule of law applies to everyone equally. These simple concepts disturb the elite.
The political problems which have torn Thailand apart over the past six years have their roots in this clash of fundamental ideas. The rich fascist elite are frightened by real democracy because it means an end to their privileged hi-so lifestyles and impunity from justice.
To them, military dictatorship means security for the elite and the continuation of a way of life which keeps them at the top of society. The rich Thai elite, already have all the rights they could ever want, their money and status ensures these.
What we are witnessing in Thailand, is a knee-jerk fascist reaction by a frightened bourgeois elite, who see this challenge from ordinary Thais as a threat to their way of life and a menace to an established social hierarchy.
dictatorship
However, as much as they would like it, dictatorship and army rule cannot continue indefinitely, the international community would not allow it, and it would damage rich Thais where it most hurts: in their wallets.
Hence, Prayuth's attempt to introduce a sanitised version of democracy, that would do away with the insecurity felt by the elite, and guarantee the power base of the army, the king and the urban elite.
Thailand's made to measure elite "democracy" is now well on the way. The new army charter will be imposed soon, without a referendum. Prayuth's fake government will appointed, not elected, later this year. And the elections in 2015 will be under a bogus election system.
There. It's not so hard to understand. What we are seeing in Thailand is called fascism. And fascism manifests itself when the rich elite feel cornered and threatened by the "lower" social classes they regard as inferior.
The problem is Thailand is not democracy. The biggest destabilising factor is the old elite way of thinking, as represented by a deeply anti-democratic class system which places the king and his followers above ordinary Thais.
The solution to the problem is to put an end to the unstable Chakri dynasty. This would do away with the dominance of the elite class and the army. In its place, a Thai Republic should be declared, thus safeguarding the rights of ALL Thai citizens.
Vote in our Skipper .....
Referendum!
With the death of king Bhumibol just around the corner, the issue of the succession is now a hot topic.
The choice presented to Thai people by the elite, is either Vajiralongkorn or Sirindhorn and never includes the option of establishing a Thai Republic.
In this special Skipper referendum on the monarchy in Thailand, we are offering Thai people the chance to vote on all three options, including a Republic.
Vote now!
