The Inherent Flaws In Monetarism Will Always Break The Law Of Equilibrium

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

The consensus is that capitalism promotes free market conditions, and socialism is in favor of centralized economic planning. But it is all an illusion and here is why.

Long before socialism was invented, governments already figured out that promoting security and economic abundance to obtain people's consent offered many advantages. They already were very well aware that selling "state welfare" (the wealth of the empire is necessary for the security of the people) was key to remain in power. And this does mean that socialism was bound to eventually become a theory centuries later. For capitalism, which mainly regulates profit seeking, the ability to cash in on all that has always been a bounty.

This to say that capitalism and socialism have always been bed fellows behind the curtain for an extremely long time. Back in the antiquity, governments were throwing big fests (circus, parades, etc, often dedicated to whatever god regulating abundance). Let's get real for a minute, please!

The Roman government wanted to keep the idle masses entertained because they knew that a large group of poor people was a major threat to their empire. Therefore, the Romans enjoyed many different forms of entertainment, most of which were free.... MORE: http://persweb.wabash.edu/facstaff/royaltyr/AncientCities/web/bradleyj/Project%201/Games.html

Capitalism, to distance itself from centralization, argues that free market conditions are essential to its foundations but there have never been such "free markets" in the world history because as stated previously (and many times) the goal of competition is to eliminate all competition for the sake of wealth concentration. Such dynamics is embedded in monetarism. Friedrich Hayek understood the stakes in his later years and even advocated for some form of basic income.

Anarcho-capitalism advocates for the end of centralization, which is great, but in the practical sense it is merely impossible because collusion is not preventable in any way. We can rest assured that today most Bitcoins are already in the same hands pulling the strings. And the danger is that the top 1% does not really care about the future of Bitcoin but controlling the markets.

Sure, some cryptos could perform reasonably during the "transition" toward a world without money, but as soon as any of them will gain too much traction, the same hands pulling the strings will step in and centralize. That is how money has always worked... such a scenario is a classics and always beats all projections.

An other inherent flaw is that capitalism cannot prevent any mania because it creates them in the first place. Value is entirely subjective and the demand can be distorted very easily. This is what actually causes the beginning and end of the mania, when nobody can afford anymore to be part of it.

The above rather describes the negative expression of the Law Of Equilibrium when humans break the Law and the cause and effect, which is another Cosmic Principle. And we have had much of the same for millennia. At some point, we'll have to do something about it. Right?

We need a resource based economy and money-free system, to end the speculation on consumerism and manipulations of a top down structure.

The Voluntaryism Versus Capitalism Debate

A blog introducing the readers to the facts presented by Peter Jospeh in a discussion with Stephan Molyneux. And concluding that Voluntaryism represents the merging of philosophy, metaphysics and economics. A voluntaryist society prioritizes education, ecology and health and regards poverty as the worse form of violence. The state alone is not the the cause #1 of violence, but just any top down model.

Capitalism doesn't promote free markets, capitalism requires free markets and private property. Then you simply voluntarily trade your property with others. That's it. That's capitalism.

Socialism is very old. Ancient Sparta was a socialist society. Capitalism traditionally is thought to have begun in the 1700's. So yea, pointing to ancient societies not having free markets is kind of...pointless.

LOL, Venice again? You realize that the black plague wiped out half of Europe's population in 5 years during that time frame. Do you think that fact might possibly be to blame for a collapsing economy?

Ok, now I am fairly certain you don't even know what money is. Here watch this to learn a bit:

And I hate to break it to you, but Venus Project's "resource based economy" is one of the evil top down systems you seem to hate so much. And the lolz cow keeps producing. :-D

Let's take a peek under the Venus Project's hood: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Venus_Project

:) still capitalism has NEVER existed

you did not read the Venice article, it is the bust that caused the black plague... not the other way around.

Money has always been DEBT, gold standard or not. Fact

when I was a hard currency advocate and working with a well known doc film maker investigating wall street multi billion dollar scams, I wrote many world economic analyses, so you wont teach me anything.

Value will forever be subjective, sorry pal :)

Capitalism LOVES socialism, and otherwise

Top down structures are caused by monetarism, and inherent flaws

I know sorry, for hitting a nerve.

Yes, I read the Venice article when you first hauled it out long ago. It is so laughingly stupid to think that a credit crunch caused the black plague, that I have to bring out Bessie again! :-D

Money has always been a commodity. Jeeze, try reading something outside of your woo woo bullshit webshites.

Yes, values are subjective. Every single person on the face of the earth has a hierarchy of needs and values peculiar to him/her. I never said otherwise.

Really? An economic system is capable of love? It must be very interesting in your head. :-D

Hierarchies are inherent in animals that live in social groups. And hierarchies have tops and bottoms. That's life, kiddo.

You sure did hit a nerve, missy! My funny bone nerve! :-D

Hierarchies are inherent in animals that live in social groups. And hierarchies have tops and bottoms. That's life, kiddo.

sure and according to you bottoms are not forced to work for peanuts, I know :)

The bottoms used to be slaves, thank your god that capitalism destroyed that horrendous institution. And every year, the poor countries that adopt capitalism get better living standards that steadily goes up with time.

What do you offer the bottoms? Mass starvation...

You do not break me... when money is no longer part of the equation, there is NO competition for the top down, wealth concentration. I am so used to hear people equating RBS to collectivism... but chinese collectivists for example are still using money... there is no comparison... but who says "no money" is a threat to private property.... yeah sure... the top 1% cannot lose.

the only mistake the Venus Project did is to expect the UN to supporting them financially, that is WHEN they got branded as communists... big mistake. Fresco was old and he wanted his dream to come true, and it was the wrong step, blinded by his idealism.

It however didnt go anywhere.. The just got the label in the meantime. The UN will never help them because they do not want to lose their jobs... But the damage to their reputation is done. That is why Peter Joseph and the Venus Project broke apart... I know the whole story.

Yep, when there is no money, there will be no people. When there is no money, there will be no civilization. Woo! Three cheers for mass starvation! Woo!

The Venus Project is centralized, top down decision making. Can someone say...communism by robot? Robot communism and the robots get to keep all the money! lolz

Dammit! Here comes Bessie the lolz cow again!

Please don't post anymore tonight, my stomach hurts from laughing.

P.S. I got a great alternate title for this steaming pile of crap of a blog, "The Inherent Flaws In The Law Of Equilibrium Will Always Be Broken By Capitalism"

Huh, huh? What do you think? I think it is kind of catchy...

When there is no money, there will be no civilization

You make me laugh... GLOBAL DEBT 5 TIMES THE GLOBAL GDP
america 100 trillion worth of debt... mass starvation IS coming. At least we agree on that.

Can someone say...communism by robot?

You really say whatever because we are ALREADY SO MUCH relying on computers.. mega computers are doing ALL the trades on stock markets.... because the automation and robotics takeover are not a reality perhaps?

but you go after the Venus Project for promoting the computers and robots :)

Look around you communi$m is winning... whereas a money-free society is based on contributing.

Posting the image of this cow again surely shows that you are losing the debate.

Meh, the US fiat currency will reach its actual value in the next generation or two, which is zero. But not to worry, we will just switch back to using real money hopefully. Time will tell.

If you take away money, you take away trade. You take away trade, you take away industry. When you take away industry, you take away food. When you take away food, people starve.

And nah, communism is collapsing. China is the last big one. But you can say it is dying as China is letting capitalism take root in its country, which is propelling its standard of living upward. Then all that's left is North Korea, and they are fading fast.

There is no money free society, so it is based on nothing and going no farther than me laughing at it every day you post. :-D.

And nah, communism is collapsing. China is the last big one.

Sure, when china, iran and russia are military allies???

start your own blog on debunking RBS , and I promise I will drop by every now and then. That is way smarter than stalking

You are not aware of all the scams running profit seeking, I am and that is why I say that monetarism is doomed.

Money has been around longer than writing. It is not going anywhere, no matter how much you rage against it.

And I am not that interested in resource based scams.

And I am not that interested in resource based scams.

:) meanwhile you cannot help yourself, I see...

we just do not have the same awareness FOR SURE. Not raging, someone needs to do the dirty job of showing the damages done to our civilization and the 3rd option
