Can There Be Too Much Capitalism?

[Ringo]

Brent crude oil has gained 18% over the week, trading around $61 per barrel. They drive food prices into the clouds, so that the fathers of hungry children will again enroll in ISIS.

Without any hitlers, they destroy entire regions with futures alone. There is no crime that large capital will not commit for the sake of a significant percentage gain.
They don't have such a big choice: either the third world countries will be squeezed to the blood and bones, or their own streets will be flooded with blood..
As long as there are third world countries, there will be this lawlessness. That is, always.
As long as people, under capitalism, have animal psychology in the dominant, predators will eat herbivores.
They don't need Hitler as a figure anymore. High-frequency stock trading is a Hitler to itself, and even trading on machine learning themselves.
And the core, yes, is the black soul of capital. The blind evil power of history .
It's not even capital itself, as well as the entire leisure class in general (Thorstein Veblen has a good work on the topic: "The Theory of the Leisure Class" ).
Overconsumption to the point of worst perversions, and contempt for creating one's own humanistic value.

Uncertainty about the future?
Depression and alienation?
Unrealistic hopes and unrealized dreams?

Perhaps you have capitalism!
Widespread symptoms:

A feeling of powerlessness and uselessness,
apathy, fear, uncertainty about the future,
loss of identity, loneliness, alienation,
rat races, low wages, constant lack of means of subsistence,
exploitation, arbitrariness of owners and officials...

For diagnosis and treatment, contact the communists.

Cuba is a mere 50 of so mile away....

.....if you start swimming now....



Which brings up an interesting question:
When Haitian refugees flee their island, do they aim for Cuba (53 miles), Turks and Caicos (110 miles), Jamaica (124 miles), the Cayman Islands ( 440 miles), or Florida (523 miles ) ?


Why is that?



Capitalism.

Capitalism.

So I think too, why don't they go to the Cayman Islands? There's capitalism there! And in Colombia, too, capitalism, and in Mexico... why don't they go to this wonderful capitalist countries? Capitalism is everywhere, except for Cuba, which has been under the American blockade for 60 years...
You know, in ancient Rome, everyone aspired to Rome, to the capital too. In the capitals of exploitative states, there is more money, that's where the loot from all over the world flows.

Where is the finest example of what socialism, the central pillar of Democrat governance, can provide?

See how well they did in the “Worker’s Paradise”?

And....

"The Green New Dealers proposed to replace America’s free market economy with a centrally planned, top-down economic and social order, in which the federal government would be able to expropriate and direct what Karl Marx called “the means of production,” and do so by executive diktat. This was the system that had already been tried in such catastrophically failed states as Cuba, Cambodia, North Korea, China, Venezuela, the Soviet Union, and all its satellites in Eastern Europe.

Socialism is a system of shared misery based on the fatally flawed notion that an economy can be run by a centrally directed “plan” imposed on the population, without profit incentives to motivate individual productivity and innovation. The fact that socialist command economies invariably fail, causing incalculable human misery, seemed lost on radical ideologues like Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and the now dominant progressives in the Democratic Party. Also lost were lessons to be learned from the totalitarian results of centralizing power in the hands of the state and ordinary citizens of their freedoms."

Once the wealthiest nation in their zone:


“Venezuelans report big weight losses in 2017 as hunger hits CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelans reported losing on average 11 kilograms (24 lbs) in body weight last year and almost 90 percent now live in poverty,… in 1999, leftist President Hugo Chavez was proud of improving Venezuela’s social indicators due to oil-fueled welfare policies. But his successor President Nicolas Maduro’s rule since 2013 has coincided with a deep recession, due to failed state-led economic policies and the plunge in global oil prices.”

When we are told about the advantages, correctness and benefits of capitalism, no one wants to do it using the examples of Nigeria, Colombia, Romania, Moldova, Kosovo, Ukraine, Albania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Libya, Zimbabwe, Congo etc, I wonder why?

[initforme]

Capitalism is the only system that allows people to choose their employment. Employees are free to leave and quit a job with no notice, simply don't show up if need be, to go into a better job. No other system allows this. Their is no loyalty to ones employer nor should there be. In other systems loyalty is forced.

"The Polish province, which declared itself an anti-LGBT zone, canceled its resolution after the EU threatened to block the allocation of $148 million to local authorities"
And all "religiosity" crumbled before a pathetic handout. This will be the case everywhere under capitalism - money rules, the true God is a huckster
It is characteristic, that all the world's bourgeois publications evaluate this event in the column "victory". Their victory

"The President of Namibia in the UN General Assembly called the inequality in the distribution of vaccines "vaccine apartheid"

Now it is absolutely clear that all the words of the tolerasts about tolerasty are dirty bullshit. With a more deadly infection, there would be no one left in Africa.

The dealer asks: "Do you have enough disposable income to buy medicines? No? Do you have anything to sell, besides the fact that we are already robbing? Not either? Well, bro, then you have full market freedom to die, so as not to spoil my margin"

"But, don't be afraid", the dealer continues. "You will die and I will get down on one knee on the screen and shout "BLM!". You will die with honor!"

Cod production in Murmansk, Russia has finally overtaken the results in terms of volumes since 1941, when the port was bombed, and many men went to the army. But the russians will not see the fish they have caught in the stores. Now 70% of cod is exported... Capitalism.

Capital has no desire to rob or kill anyone, it wants only one thing - profit. But he craves it so much that he inevitably begins to ruin, plunder, starve to death, unleash wars and justify genocide.

1.Well…what are the choices?
There was one of the earliest economies, where folks traded the only thing they had….themselves. That was slavery.

We moved on to feudalism…”peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.”

The growth of freedom, individualism, gave rise to capitalism.



2. “The results were inescapable: nearly everywhere on the planet men and women lived longer, ate better, enjoyed more leisure, and had access to resources and delights that previously had been reserved for the very rich and powerful, or more commonly, had been utterly unknown.” Joel Mokyr, “A Culture of Growth: Origins of the Modern Economy” http://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/s10835.pdf



As politics is part of every endeavor, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the growth of government, and taxation, what we call Progressivism, is a return to earlier times, inching towards slavery.




3. But, as per the title….has capitalism been over-extended? Outlived its usefulness???? Is there too much??

Only in the same respect as a famous man said about winning: “We’re gonna’ win so much that you will say, please, please, Mr. President….stop!! We’re tired of winning!!!!!”
Should we be tired of capitalism????


No….there isn’t too much capitalism, wealth, or profit. But too many have seen this as the be-all-and-end-all, and forgotten this:
1 Timothy 6:10 to be: For the love of money is the root of all of evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.





4.As a result, we have President who has succumbed to that love, to the point of selling out his home nation. And there are many such elites who would bind themselves to alien nations and alien ideology, if it provided wealth.


“…Trump saw decoupling the United States from China as a way to dismantle the oligarchy that hated him and sent American jobs abroad, he couldn’t follow through on the vision. After correctly identifying the sources of corruption in our elite, the reasons for the impoverishment of the middle classes, and the threats foreign and domestic to our peace, …

… China was the source of the China Class’ power, the novel coronavirus coming out of Wuhan became the platform for its coup de grace. So Americans became prey to an anti-democratic elite that used the coronavirus to demoralize them; lay waste to small businesses; leave them vulnerable to rioters who are free to steal, burn, and kill; keep their children from school and the dying from the last embrace of their loved ones; and desecrate American history, culture, and society; and defame the country as systemically racist in order to furnish the predicate for why ordinary Americans in fact deserved the hell that the elite’s private and public sector proxies had already prepared for them.

For nearly a year, American officials have purposefully laid waste to our economy and society for the sole purpose of arrogating more power to themselves while the Chinese economy has gained on America’s. China’s lockdowns had nothing to do with the difference in outcomes. Lockdowns are not public health measures to reduce the spread of a virus. They are political instruments, which is why Democratic Party officials who put their constituents under repeated lengthy lockdowns, …” The Thirty Tyrants



Too much capitalism????

No…..too little integrity.

Our biggest problem today isn't capitalism. It is more with finance which is a driver of capitalism's "growth". Too much risk taking. We basically have not only allowed, but promototed and are approaching mandating requiring people to gamble in the stock markets (biden is trying to force employers with 6 or more employees to have retirement plans). Now if the market were more stable and reflective of traditional investments and return, that would not be an issue. We have gotten to the point that options are trading at volumes higher than stocks, PE ratios are nearing record levels (meaning the stock prices are wildly inflated), etc etc etc. So now, the finance people can ruin large numbers of people's wealth with their gambling and there is nothing anybody can do to insulate themselves.

Our greatest problem is voters too dumb to see the Democrat Party for what it is.

The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism,

socialism,

infanticide,

opposition to free speech,

standing with criminals and felons rather than law-abiding citizens

substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry,

support for rioters, arsonists, murderers, and anarchists,

accepting payment from Communist China for future considerations,

and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

Private property is not an innate property of human nature. This is just a tool that turned out to be very effective at a certain stage of the evolution of society. And society will reject it as well as violence and inequality.

This post is directly from the Democrat's instruction manual:


A note from history: this has always been the view of the slaves of the Left:

The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”

From a speech delivered on the Senate floor

May 14, 1943 Happy Chandler's dangerous statism - The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions



Under Democrat rule, we are the slaves of government.
The same is true under Communism, Fascism, Nazism, Progressivism and Socialism.



It's time to throw off the chains.

Under capitalism, even if the economy is able to feed everyone, there will definitely be hungry and food waste dumps, with empty houses there will be homeless, with supposedly working market mechanisms there will be wars, and the truth without any prohibitions will be crushed by tons of lies. Such a system.

The law of the market says - the more goods the consumer sees, the faster he will buy it and pay more. Therefore, products in transparent packaging are more expensive, and women go half-naked.

What is a discount on a product or service? This is when a capitalist wanted to cheat you with an expensive price, but you turned out to be too smart and now he admits it.
