About the use of demographics in political problems

As a result of the political contradictions of the moment, the problem with demographics has come to a highlight; and according to it, there is a great disproportion between the index of black population and their incarceration. Not only this disproportion is true, but it is also natural, because it reflects that same disproportion in resources and poverty; contributing to the strengthening of prejudices already rooted in social behavior, unfavourable to the black race.

Crime rates are naturally higher in the poorest classes of any social structure; because by possessing fewer resources, and even the education needed to obtain them, they are more about criminal act. This in turn is due to the deep dependence on any social structure, to the economic relations in which it is organized; which not only makes this determination about social behavior, but also hinders or favors this necessary development.

However, it is a mistake to believe that this determination can be changed purely with political actions; because that only affects the structure externally and not internally, they are necessarily superficial. It is not only that economic relations determine society, but even these determinations are cultural; so any redetermination from politics will be superficial, and ends up being exhausted; and they can even be reversed in this exhaustion, thus causing a contrary effect, with the stagnation of that structure.

For that reason, any change in such determinations must come from the very interior of that structure; which is also how it happens traditionally, with timeframes of one or even two generations to consolidate developments. Trying to speed up these natural deadlines usually  results in the destabilization of the structure; introducing a series of traumas, which the structure will have to absorb according to its own margin of assimilation; but which in any case will not change the determination of its political relations, given economically only as a sign of effective power.

This is not understandable for political tendencies of liberal and/or left-wing nature, based on modern humanism; which emerged as a tradition at the height of modern positive rationalism, disbelieves those extra positive determinations of reality. The result of these pressures is however paradoxical, resulting in a contraction of the development of the social structure; leading to feudal authoritarianism, as we could see from the very beginning, with the revolutionary regime of terror in France.

This is precisely because in those cases, the structure does not respond to its economic determinations, but to ones from politics; given in medieval antiquity by stately authority, and in the contemporaneity by the political parties as a political administrator, through ideology. In fact, it is the same process in which even capitalism declines, from industrial—and individualistic— to corporate; resulting in  a contraction of the structure in question, by its subjection to authority, which always looks after its own interests even if it says to do so for those of the structure, in its corporateness.

Even the appeal to the concept of justice for these redeterminations is spurious because it is just an abstract concept; it only legitimizes acts, but fails to determine them, because it does not resonate with particular interests, such as the economy. Even in the case of racism instituted in modern cultures, the problem remains cultural and is only redetermined from the culture itself; to the extent that with particular economic development, the various levels continue the spiral of general development of culture.
