  Part One:     Western Purveyors of Global Anarchic Chaos –

Under The “Cover Of Darkness” (Democracy)

Divine nature always seeks stability.

Despite the social and political upheavals experienced over the centuries, a sense of order ultimately persisted. This stability is attributable to the development and strength of various systems, institutions, and civilizations. Social, political, economic, and religious frameworks – collectively referred to as “the system” – played a significant role in maintaining this order, helping to mitigate “chaos” (“chaos” in quotes as it is not always equivalent to complete disorder). The phenomenon of seeking stability amidst potential disorder is fundamental to nature itself.

However, there are times when the ensuing chaos often signifies “disorder” and turmoil. Major conflicts and war scenarios are representations of total chaos and instability. When total chaos prevails, the systems struggle to manage the turbulence. If this chaotic situation continues, unpredictability and instability will persist until a new order is established. However, chaos also presents an opportunity to implement measures to restore stability, predictability, and certainty in life, albeit in a new form. Moreover, it is human nature to seek certainty to navigate our world. Regardless, the primary variable for change is “time,” positively and negatively!

When chaos becomes the norm, volatility emerges from threats that exceed the system’s ability to withstand them. These threats can be intentionally created or may arise naturally from the constant changes in life and nature. Much like the daily fluctuations we experience in our weather systems, similar turbulence occurs in everyday human life. However, this should not be confused with “chaos.” For instance,  democracy and other political systems attempt to provide relative stability and certainty. However, attaining stability often requires time. This “window period” of instability allows positive and nefarious forces to invoke their desired aims and ends into the system and create a new order in society.

Furthermore, reactive (positive ) forces are often a stage behind the nefarious forces that deliberately invoke chaos to implement their agenda. Hence, much harm can be done under the “cover of darkness,” such as instability in liberal democracies, before positive forces “wake up.” Consequently, much effort and time will be required to reverse invoked intractable harm, if any.

Dialectics of Power Relations

In the context of geopolitical and social stability, it is essential to consider the dialectics of power relations, which involve both proactive and reactive systems. Military power, financial resources, and capital are typically the proactive forces that invoke societal authority, leading to the development of systematic power. Conversely, those lacking military resources, financial means, and systemic power find themselves in a reactive position regarding the balance between order and chaos. Global Western forces typically have power dominance and are systemically more proactive. Moreover, the West has and still does, created systems and systemic power in the context of historical precedence to initiate hegemony and political domination.

Consequently, due to this hegemony and political domination, there is an imbalance in the dialectics of power relations due to a lack of global counterweights and the distinct absence of alternative empowered systems. This absence is currently particularly evident with Russia’s influence waning (with the decline of the Soviet Union’s power).  Additionally, China is very selective in its global ambitions, as it is wary of jeopardizing its pursuit of economic dominance. Moreover, China, as a powerful global military force, is preoccupied with the domination of Taiwan as its own “property.”

The current geopolitical landscape reveals a distinct trend of manufactured chaos, resulting in notable changes in global power dynamics, including deglobalization and a restructuring of systemic power. There is a clear shift away from the principles of liberal democracies and a rise in politically “right-wing” ideologies. This definitive movement toward the “right” is especially evident in the United States and Europe.

Globally, the ensuing power shift represents a manufactured kind of order within political and economic systems; however, it does not necessarily benefit Muslims in many instances. Therefore, Muslim resistance becomes a natural response to self-protection.

As Part Two of this essay will indicate, Muslims find themselves generally in a reactive state. Nevertheless, they have historically served as the only crucial counterweight to the chaos invoked by Western hegemony and domination. In the process, for the self-protection of Muslim societies. Moreover, Muslim societies need to be differentiated from the “streets” and Muslim majority regimes or states that are very reluctant to oppose Western hegemony openly.

 

Chaos Theory:

As this essay focuses on the scientific concept of “chaos in society,” below is a brief discussion of the chaos theory, also known as complexity theory, which attempts to address this issue. However, it does not explicitly address the manufactured chaos politically invoked by malevolent and nefarious forces. The term “chaos” is popularly used to refer to disorder or confusion.

In science, chaos is an essential conceptual paradox that has a precise mathematical meaning:

A  chaotic system that is a deterministic system is difficult to predict. The scientific theory explains inherent repetition, patterns, self-organization, and constant feedback loops within the visible randomness of complex, chaotic systems that are historical. In the theory, the” butterfly effect” explains how a small fluctuation can significantly affect the later outcomes. The operative word is “small.” However,  as long as any uncertainty remains, predictability is quite limited. However, greater volatility occurs amidst deliberately invoked (anarchic) political forces.

When deliberate anarchy is intentionally introduced, the intent is to disrupt the entire status quo and produce chaos as an opportunity for nefarious intervention. For instance, it challenges the existing power structures and often creates a void for implementing a nefarious (sometimes evil) agenda. Therefore, it is the ultimate “power weapon” for chaos and provides an opportunity for invoking anarchy. However, with chaos comes massive disruption to society and its institutions. This is of no concern to the disruptors. With time and renewed reactive forces, society will self-reorganize, relatively overcome the damage, and a new order (changed society) will emerge. However, some of the damage done will be perennial.

Essentially, no traditional political, economic, or social system can handle anarchic chaos, as society is not structured for it. This is particularly true of internecine forces — those that are internal and destructive — within the system that knowingly defy established order and historical rules. In simpler terms, those who promote chaos recognize that they first need to attain positions of power and then swiftly induce chaos to create an opportunity for advancing their political agenda without delay.  Moreover, this is done under the guise (cover)of democracy!

The overall effect is that the system and existing order are ill-prepared and need time to respond. Consequently, the nefarious agenda is implemented, altering society’s structure and engendering chaos.

Fundamentally, the only equivalent force to withstand that can withstand this anarchic chaos is a powerful alternative system with inherent resilience and integrity. The next question becomes: Is there a viable, powerful system, albeit reactive (and reactive it must), that can become an effective counterweight?

In the context of geopolitical systems and historical order, the only viable, robust, and self-sustaining alternative order to Western anarchic forces is, and historically evident, are Muslims and their inviolable faith in their religion of Islam. Moreover, Islam, as an Abrahamic religion, is recognized as one of the four major religions. Furthermore, as a religion, it is not restricted to any race or ethnicity and with universal personhood/brotherhood. Coupled with this is the fact that Islam is the fastest-growing religion, and while attendance at Christian churches is dwindling, mosque space is limited to increasing demands and overflowing with numbers. These are some of the underlying reasons for Islamophobia (fear of Muslims). This alternate resistance force and systemic is further explored in Part Two of this Essay.

Parenthetically, as many Churches are empty and are not sustainable, Muslims are turning Churches into Mosques, especially in Europe,  due to an inordinate demand.

Summary

This essay explores “chaos in society.” Despite centuries of social and political upheaval, a sense of order has persisted due to strong systems, institutions, and civilizations. The quest for stability amidst disorder is inherent in nature and human behaviour. When chaos becomes the norm, volatility arises from overwhelming threats. In discussing political and social stability, it’s essential to consider the dialectics of power relations, which encompass both proactive and reactive elements. Moreover, it examines the concept of “chaos in society.”

Stability in society stems from the development and strength of systems, institutions, and civilizations. The pursuit of stability is inherent in human nature, as we seek certainty in daily life. When chaos prevails, volatility emerges from threats beyond the system’s management ability. Therefore, understanding power dynamics and proactive and reactive factors is essential in political and social stability discussions.

The current geopolitical trend of manufactured chaos is leading to significant changes in global power dynamics and systemic power restructuring. Manufactured anarchy aims to disrupt the status quo to produce a global chaotic scenario. (Think Trump – the current US President.) Therefore, chaos becomes the ultimate “power weapon” in manufactured anarchy.

Traditional systems are not built to handle anarchic forces, particularly those that act destructively from within. These forces gain power and create chaos by disregarding established order and rules.

In the context of geopolitical systems and historical order, the only viable, robust, and self-sustaining alternative order and power to Western anarchic forces is, and historically evident, are Muslims and their inviolable faith in their religion of Islam. And this is the fundamental reason underlying all of Islamophobia (fear of Muslims). This alternate Muslim resistance as a powerful global force is further explored in Part Two of this Essay.

Regardless, there are difficult social times ahead for Muslims in general.
