Capitalism Sucks!

I've done my homework over the years studying people, their motivations and institutions and can boil it down to two simple truths: #1 all institutions are corrupt and exist to control or minds bodies and spirits#2 WQe're mostly happy to let them because it's easiest to let somebody else make our decisions and do our thinking.

And Capitalism and American Democracy promotes this mass compliance with the dogma of "US exceptionalism" the same as Hitler did with Germany. Those are my biggest complaints against the American Pillars of society commonly called "Democracy" and Capitalism.

 I'd like to point out that NEITHER in practice are actually what their labels say they are. The American brand of capitalism isn't that at all because any good capitalist hates capitalism "a fair and equal market place of good, services  and ideas in level competition" and would much rather annihilate his competitors and provide the cheapest product he can for the most money he can get for it. That's not how capitalism is supposed to work and he knows it, yet he calls and calls for "less regulation strangling the "natural framework of capitalism", or in other words he wants government to get off his back so he can make more money selling snake oils and other poisons to his fellow man for who m he cares nothing about except how much money we give him. Hence the "regulations" to protect us from his desire to make money above all else. But our regulatory agencies ore being gutted, all the rules thrown out and we haven't for a long time, had true, fair , regulated Capitalism. I mean our history is repleat with Many examples of the big corporations enlisting the help of government officials to crush the competition! I could cite all of them, but I'm not giving a history lesson here, the reader should have paid attention in school because as indoctrinary as it was, it had in it the most famous instances of what I am talking about. okay just a couple: Tucker and DeLorean.

And we only have the last election to tell us we don't have Democracy in which the Democrat decidedly won the popular vote by over 1 million. So what happened? This is what happened: YOUR POLITICIANS HATE DEMOCRACY so they set up and have perpetuated this system in order to override the popular vote, the privilege of which goes to the party currently in power long enough in enough states to Gerrymander districts into rendering the popular vote impotent whenever it suits them.

And then there is the wonderful congressional system in which only one state gets to vote for a politician who has power over the other states through Federal policy. Why don't the rest of us get to vote on whether Roy Moore gets a seat in one of the 4 highest offices in the land? Because this is not a Democracy, it is not Capitalism  and it is outdated and flawed.

Anarchist's folly

I love the ignorance and stupidity of supposed intellectuals who embrace anarchism with the notion that government is bad and society or individuals would be better off without it.

As I've repeatedly pointed out, all institutions look great on paper and none work in reality except for the few privileged that twist everything to their advantage. So the institution isn't the problem, people are the problem. There will always be those people among us, no matter where we are, how we govern or don't govern ourselves, who will exploit to their advantage whatever system exists . Furthermore, there has to be a system if we want to keep the things we have and not go back to the caves, but even in the caves there was a system & people taking advantage of others.  In fact, government rose out of the need. In the cave brute force ruled until societies evolved and put a stop to it. A major part of that society was the need for governance, authority in disputes, etc. In fact, if you are not a fricking moron, you realize that that is why government came into being, to regulate all the assholes (us, you , I). But of course, the next step is for the assholes to take over the government and bend it to their self centered wills and greed (and bullshit the rest of us into believing they have our interests at heart). To put it simply to the anarchist: government isn't the root of the problem, you are (people). People are the government & what causes it to be unjust, bad, tyrannical, whatever. But since we are the government, there is no government without people.Therefore, if the idiotic pseudo-intellectual anarchists wants no government the solution is simple: kill everybody. So the real solution is to have a government in which the cream of society (intellectually and morally speaking) run for and win the political offices that govern us. I'm talking about people such as Noam Chomsky and other writers and thinkers and not the assorted ex-actors, attorneys, wrestlers, singers, generals, career politicians and assorted other half-wits, crooks, perverts, puppets and thieves that we have to vote for now.

To my readers

My Bias: All institutions, forms of government work on paper, but none work in practice because then people, with their greed, avarice, sloth & general lack of any concept of meaningful ethics & penchant for letting others do their thinking & make their choices, have to be involved. So it is never the idea that is wrong or faulty, it's the people that are screwed up. recent major institutions that have failed: The Union of Soviet and Socialist Republics (1989-1991), Capitalism in the United States. yes that's Right, Capitalism failed in The United States but we won't admit it. The only reason we haven't been repossessed  is because we have a big army & we employed the same artful financial dodging practices to stave off total collapse that took us to the brink in the first place.
