From the very day we are born the influences of the society we are in begin with our parents, who already have ideas that they perceive to be right. They of course have had years of experiencing indoctrination from their parents and the world around them.
History is always written by the victors of one war or another, the political system they have grown up in.
In today's world we have the internet a labyrinth to search for the truth which is still hard to find amongst the lies and misinformation.
I think as in the metrix we the ordinary people of this world are steadily waking up to the control we have been under for centuries.
History is not black and white, the many twists and turns it takes some good some bad.
I often ask the question to myself, what would have really happened if Germany had won the second world war and the entire planet was controlled by one government.
A government incidently that turned a country from mass inflation to a super power in a very short time .
Would we have really been worse off than we are today?
It would have been very different.
After all none of us are truly free.
He who controls the food controls the people as you have said.
Monsanto and Bayer are moving to do just that with their GMO foods.
Taken to the ultimate end they would hold the patents to all the seeds we need to produce food.
They would dominate the world. A private organisation not an elected government.
I enjoyed reading your post thanks for bringing me here.
Peace and Love my friend.😎

Friend @andyjem, thanks for joining and commenting. You are welcome.
The one who holds the power always has the facility to tell the story from his point of view, that is why we can not fully believe in a fact told from a single point of view, it is necessary to consult different opinions and thus do something a little to the truth.
Certainly as we grow and learn we realize that many of the things we learned, heard or read come to us in order to sow an idea that someone considered correct, a theory or a hypothesis.
According to you, that is a mechanism of domination used by governments and those in power.
Thanks, great comment friend.
Dear @andyjem
Excellent comment. Would you mind if I ask you a question?
Let's say that people would fight for "freedom" and they would win. Whatever that would actually mean. Let's say that we would manage to free ourselfs from current authorities.
Wouldn't you think that lack of some central authorities would always create "power vacum" and many local warlords / politicians would try to take advantage of situation.
Yours
Piotr
That Piotr is a very good question.
In this world we live under bullies and greedy politicians.
It doesn't actually make much difference who you vote for under a capitalist system. Or any system come to that.
There is no real answer apart from the fact that we should be able to live outside the system what ever it is, otherwise we are not truly free.
Although I don't actual think we need a centralised authority.
All they do is sell us things we don't need or want.
I'm quite happy with a dirt track rather than an oil based topping to our roads.
I can dispose of my own wast, and if I could I would use a horse and cart rather than a car.
This all sounds like a fantasy but many people around the world do achieve some kind of autonomous life, we just have to look for the different way.
Not really an answer to your question, but more my thoughts.
