As stated in my phlog post of 22 Oct
, I am very conservative. I am going to flesh that out.
The pitfalls I see in the practical application of capitalism and socialism are identical. In the historical (up to the current day) application, the cronies at the top are the beneficiaries. In the capitalistic society you have the robber barons and modern billionairs. In the socialistic society, the top party officials lived like kings and gave themselves sweetheart deals. The maxim, "power corrupts..." is definitely apropos here.
Modern day capitalism is a hybrid monster. With the infiltration of our education system, et al by the Frankfurt School and similar movements/groups, they (there's always a they isn't there? Read this as the afore mentioned elites, the rich of the left party, the rich on the right) have injected victim culture and elevated the value of personal emotions.
The left found that the proletariat in the United States were doing well, they would not be swayed to seize the means of production and destroy the system as Marx thought they would. So a replacement demographic was needed for the furtherance of the agenda. The one settled upon were victims. Who is a victim? Anyone who can be rationalized as being marginalized.
The first stop on this were people belonging minority races. Afterward, persons practicing statistical deviations from the sexual norm. Now it is the rage to also rally around persons who call into question the biology of their gender. The way to get all of this to implant is to inundate the fiber of our society with messages of agenda to saturation. Once the targetted demographics have buy in then your message is an easy sell, because any other is the enemy. People are not cared about, the string-pullers are just building their base. Useful idiots.
Hardcore capitalism only seeks ROI, people are both a means to this end and a road block in the eventual financial success. People are not cared for, nothing is cared for, except the ledger book. The bottom line. People who call Trump the God Emporer are useful idiots.
I am "pro" the following:
I am "anti" the following:
We have the right as humans to live as we choose, associate with whom we choose, say what we choose, and work for what we get. You have no right to my labor, my belongings, or to curtail the thoughts or words issuing from my person. This is justice. If I feel a general dissatisfaction with the level of justice then I will either change the reality around me thru force of will, fight, or leave.
I believe in propriety and a certain level of agreed upon public morality. This is not based upon religion. I am an atheist. I do not believe in a devil. I do not believe in a god. I firmly hold that the Abrahamic religions are control mechanisms and tools of the elite to further their own goals. Civil society functions best when people are polite. You have a right to shun the impolite.
Further on religion: see the freedoms I am "pro" above. If you wish to engage in this, then knock yourself out. Remember, however, that you have absolutely no right to compel me or anyone else to do so. No right to enforce observance of the sabbath, the celebration of the eucharist, the prohibition on pork, or what have you. By the same token, feel free to close your shop on Sunday, not sell pork chops, and yes, even not sell cakes to homosexuals. The baker down the street will get more business. Fuck it, you be you.
I hate having to work so hard to keep my family afloat as sole bread-winner, neither side would fix this. I have an employee who lived in Soviet Russia. Being compelled to work for less than I have now is worse. The ideal situation has not been implemented. Ever.
We are on the precipice of neofuedalism. Our children will be less well off than we are. The wheels are in motion and have been since shortly after the declaration of indepentence of These United States. Money interests and bankers were quick to seize upon the fledgling nation and its mounting debt. These interests and the government soon became indistinguishible and interchangable. The aim of both is power. They already have all the money (they created it anyway), and all the resources, next comes further whittling away at our freedom until it is exhausted and we exist merely to do their bidding.
Aldus Huxley had an inside scoop when he wrote his eugenic distopian vision of the future. His brother was a dyed in the wool eugenicist and co-founder of the World Wildlife Fund amongst other endeavors. The WWF is on record as displacing tens of thousands of indiginous people for the furtherance of agenda
. Just as Planned Parenthood was created (and some argue still is) to further eugenics.
"As an advocate of Birth Control, I wish to take advantage of the
present opportunity to point out that the unbalance between the
birth rate of the "unfit" and the "fit", admittedly the greatest
present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the
inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes.
In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility
of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken
classes, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and
physically fit though less fertile parents of the educated and
well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem today
is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally
and physically defective." - Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned
parenthood), 1921
The elite agenda has remained constant. I just want to be left alone.
