“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet” -Rudyard Kipling The British imperial poet Rudyard Kipling’s famous lines showcase a pervasive belief of all oligarchist systems that the world— with its diverse cultures, languages, races and creeds- can never work together in brotherhood. Said otherwise, the differences of the parts making up the whole cannot be resolved in any way unless those differences can be destroyed through purgative violence, or cultural homogenisation. Outside of death or Borg-like assimilation, no resolution to the paradox of the ‘One and the Many’ or ‘East vs West’ exists in the mind of a Kipling, Rhodes, Mackinder, Kissinger, Schwab or Huntington.
