"What is the matter?" Polonius inquired of Hamlet. The Prince's reply: "Words words words" - William Shakespeare "All we are saying is give peace a chance." - John Lennon
"Socialism" is just a word. "Capitalism" is just a word. Flawed words with vague imperfect meanings. All societies have always been socialistic because there's never been a free market. It's never existed. Neither has Communism. From the icy age of cave-men to the era of Caesar and Christ to today, market forces have always been strong. They were in Soviet Russia: the 'communists' used money and Stalin's way of dealing with labor issues was to starve a million people with the stroke of a pen.
Seeing as I'm the one who first declared 'the purple revolution' with internet publications from 'the purple room' of my Queen _____ _____ Estate, and using 'social media' sent letters to Senator Sanders, Senator Warren, and President Barack Obama, these three esteemed states-people and leaders. Seeing as these are facts, my opinion might be useful to our nation and world, even if strangely stated.
Now in my opinion, capitalism must be justified. Private property must be justified. Soviet-style socialism has been inherent in men and mobs since the dawn of time. There is nothing more important than truth, honor, and justice. The market can't be fixed. The market can't be a casino. But it often was.
Now the economic fore-cast is stellar. America is extremely wealthy with low unemployment. Economically we are the world leader. We are the world leader in most ways: at any rate, our dominance would take decades to even start to decline. Private property is a good right. It has many benefits: it keeps the very peace and amity of man alive. But cheating on a mass scale is unacceptable.
Furthermore, labor strikes are an inherent part of a free market. In the recent history of America, stoppages of work have been broken. Thus the unions became impotent because they had no teeth. Without labor's voice, there are no free markets. Many other factors mean the books aren't right.
So reparations and rewards can and should be made. By doing this, we make the books of capitalism honest and accurate, and we make private property sacred and morally right. Thus we prevent the endless fighting of the classes... we advance the economy: we do the good work of charity. It's all tied together.
Now some issues: regarding medicine, we pay immense sums, but the truth is that compared to other scientific and industrial fields, medicine is primitive at its best and in barbaric locations, the very notion of medicine is strange. Life is seen solely as a struggle for supremacy. Even the temporarily weak should be killed. These Naziesque dogmas have far too many believers in the 'civilized' world... and last time they literally caused a disastrous world war and brutal defeat for the nation most attached to them.
Regarding police, they should not be targets. But the truth is that many aspects of modern American policing has been toxic to the economy as well as the health and safety of the majority of people. Their technologies, training and procedures need to be profoundly reformed: much of 'their' current world-view simply doesn't serve what's needed.
This is the true state of American affairs: 'common sense' in plain English. Renaissance and a better world are ours for the acceptance... as are the "alternatives." We must have Compassion, Vision and Faith!
