RE: Steemit Zombies are coming! A protest against the poor distribution of wealth at steemit!
Hey there, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and I love zombies and the Walking Dead and I love money and capitalism and hope you are not promoting socialism or communism or redistribution of wealth as promoted by Karl Marx and Stalin and Hitler and Lenin and that leader in Cuba and that king in China even and so on and so forth. Some people will make a lot of money and some will not regardless of the quality of the content. There is no guarantee in all of this. Look at history to see people possibly more talented than some of best musicians, inventors, athletes, doctors, leaders, scientists, and so on and so forth. Is life fair? Good question. Can we stick together and try our best to help each other out? Yes.
I should give you fair warning that I don’t see myself as much of a capitalist. But I’m certainly not a communist and probably not a socialist. All systems use a combination of political philosophies to fit their needs. What I am for is cooperation and decentralized power where even if there is some variance in the level of wealth people have, it is not allowed to reach such an extreme degree where no one can speak out against or act on indirect opposition to an individual or group without severe danger to their own well being. So what that means is, I’m ok with some people being rich, but not being so rich that they can dominate the ecosystem and I’d prefer it if we found a way to keep resources more balanced and distributed, not by means of forcing anyone but by means of changing the culture and what we sit back and allow.
That’s me though, I won’t tell people they are wrong for disagreeing ;-P
What do you think about the balance of powers as seen in the United States, originally in the intent that the people are to bear arms and to me a militia as a last result against their own government if the government were to ever become too big like a tyranny? How else do we balance out powers? Can cryptocurrencies and blockchain systems also help or maybe help in better ways in some countries or in many countries?
That’s a huge topic of conversation. I’m not a big fan of guns, but if those with power don’t disarm themselves I don’t see how they can fairly ask the population to do the same.
A book related to this topic of guns & government is that George Orwell book, "Nineteen Eighty Four." And the other book that helps people see things is Animal Farm.
