RE: Capitalism Is Cancer: How Capitalism in America = Genocide
LOL, we have a lot of common friends so I came over to see
What's UP!
Socialist Democracies are also a doomed experiment, I'm afraid... Once they run out of the Capitalist's Money, they will collapse too. But you make good points against "Crony Capitalists". Steemit is founded on the ideas of more Libertarian principles, and hopefully inherent in that we will take care of our own better than the current systems do. This whole world is headed for a Paradigm Shift of EPIC PROPORTIONS, and the future holds much uncertainty.
Great Points though, and being stuck in the current "no-win scenario" is like a rat on a large running wheel, with closed in sides...
Hello there, friend. Who do we both know?
Also, you seem to be very ignorant of what social democrats stand for, because there wouldn't be a lack of money in the system as the system is more optimized and more cost-effective over-all.
Sorry my UV is not working properly, I ran it up and it keeps resetting for 43% which is under 2¢ :-( In a vacuum, a Social Democracy "could work", but that vacuum would also have the absence of Crony Capitalists, human nature and "Entitled for LIFE" Politicians. Hell, just ridding ourselves of the Latter would actually make something like a Social Democracy "feasible", IMHO. We do not have a very good approximation of "democracy" in the USA anyhow.
Not trying to be confrontational, just opening a dialog. Freely exchanging ideas, I know I do not have all the answers, not even close.
Oh, I believe our common friends would be Team Good and I saw you on an @sapphic post iirc. She is our Bot Queen, and resident witness :)
I also have seen "social democracy" seem to work on the smaller scale, I lived in Monroe County, IN for close to 7 years. Those folks are VERY Engaged, and will oust a politician that has violated their trust right quick! LOL
UV? :P
I am more of an advocate for the Denmark, Finland, Iceland, etc style systems. I don't know if they are even possible this late in the game for USA, which is why I do plan on moving to another country in a few years anyway. Those are the ideal places to emulate IMO.
Also, neat! I've been trying to reach out to more like-minded folk on here, so looks like it's going well hehe.
Sounds epic, I'd love to toss a politician out the door and into the bin personally!
UV is "up-vote" ;-)
I need to look at Iceland a little harder, they caught the eye of the "Financial Preppers" when they had that HUGE Election Turn-Over, basically told the Banks that they were just "debt-vendors" and according to the sources I was reading, kicked out the NWO/Rothschild Debt Enslavement in One Fell Swoop!
It's almost like our system has a large parasitic organism attached, which is a shadow government and banking system. "They Say" the "derivatives" are simply owed to "each other" but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the Shadow Banking system is really the note holder on these "financial weapons of mass destruction" as named by Warren Buffett.
Ben and Jerry's (of the ice cream fame) had a tangible physical demonstration of the Social Welfare System budget versus the Military Budget, using Oreo Cookies. The entire Social Welfare budget was represented by maybe a dozen cookies... sounds like a LOT, if you only have one glass of Milk, Right? Well, the boys brought in huge tub of Oreos and said "stop me when U think I have poured out enough cookies" to represent the Military Budget. They EMPTIED the WHOLE DAMN THING! It was like a 3 gallon (or larger) tub. I am a "conservative Libertarian" with a compassionate streak, so right there I know something's out of WHACK. Their point was we could easily DOUBLE the Social Welfare budget and the Military budget wouldn't hardly notice.
My Libertarian side KNOWS we do not need to be the World's COPS and squelch every little conflict. We don't need a world-wide military presence for "Homeland Security"... We make more enemies by our actions than friends, by a long shot it seems. I like the Ron Paul style of "Homeland Security" over what we have today! We prolly have a few points of debate but several that we agree on, too. ;)
I agree with pretty much all of this, tbh. Yeah, the military industrial complex is sickening and everyone involved with it should be hanged IMO.
I don't have much else to add to this conversation, but I do plan on writing more pieces on imperialism and capitalism, as well as social justice. Hopefully we can have more discussions in the future! :)
I popped that pimple that kept showing up on our collective ass ;)
Let the adults talk, children should be Seen and NOT HEARD, Well, in this case neither :P
lmfao, good job :P
Also, we are doing what TPTB do not want us to do, supposedly opposite sides having a rational discussion, and finding points of commonality. ;)
Great to meet you @cyberdemon531 and I need to find out what this Speed Running is...
I can teach you all about it if you stop by my livestream some time...! Tomorrow (24th) I will be doing a speedrun of every Mega Man X Game in a row :D
And yes, rational discussion is great. I appreciate it! I think we agree on most things, though, just maybe some inconsistencies with labels and exact ideals.
ahh Cool
I was thinking of jogging LOL
stay broke loser
