Capitalism, the kind that favors small business, is the capitalism I support. Crony capitalism, the government supported kind, the kind that lobbies and manipulates our politicians is not what I support.
Grassroots voices should be the only influence our politicians care about, not the kind of kickback and power making, unconstitutional, dirty, corrupt kind of fake capitalism that picks winners and losers based in growing the centralization of power while eliminating small business from the planet.
The regulation nation caters to large, global corporations and international banks. This is not the “We The People” kind of “capitalism”, it’s fake capitalism only for the rich and by the rich.
The WEF/NWO kind of capitalism is the enemy of the people, but making the on-ramp affordable for simple start-ups has been all but eliminated by regulation and monopolies. This is not capitalism, it is just another way for the rich to control the workforce, the market and the centralization of everything.
Somewhere along the way, the idea of “big company” took hold, bought media, sold the idea that regulation an HR departments were needed, and then policies to support the extension of public behavior were adopted, and now act as proxies for the government of controlled behavior.
A free society needs none of this, and justifying companies that violate civil liberties through policy in the name of protecting a non-human entity has elevated the corporation above the individual in our world, and the corporatists exercise “talent capture” promising larger salaries, health care and corporate environments that have contrived social systems, all to keep the money machine going.
CRT is the latest morph in civil liberties abuse and it’s based on a lie. Predatory capitalism is a better name for the slavery these corps create in the name of equity, diversity, and social governance (ESG). These behaviors end up silencing voices through their deceitful manipulation of their employees who’ve been indoctrinated into the system supported by a large propaganda machine, that is in collusion, and owned by the same kind of large corporations, the Vanguards and BlackRocks of the world.
Then comes the predatory debt system that drives people into debt so they have to work, and the more money people make, the more debt they can take on, thereby making them slaves to their jobs. This confluence of corporate interaction makes the stock holders richer by the minute.
Yes, the banks work with the corporations and the government to keep this wagon rolling, and all the while small businesses are driven out of the market to further the centralization of the supply chain. Is this deliberate? I believe it’s the plan and it is getting executed before our very eyes and “We The People” are the target for subjugation.
The globalist system and how it centralizes power.
In this comment above, I didn’t tie in the ownership of our elections by the corporatists, and those are the only people that could afford the investment into the multi-billion dollar election fraud machine.
The problem with the “only three choices” (Capital-Commun-Social: ism schism) economic platform argument is cultivated by the academic institutions that still teach that there are only three choices. For any authentic transformative innovation to occur will require detaching from self-limiting presumptions re: not enough to go around. The problems inherrent within variations on Laissez-faire free mkt ideologies–that manifest as “predatory capitalism” or “rigged-insider deal entitlements” –is that we are still dealing with obsolete banking models where a few families control resource distribution and ultimately, prosperity for the few. As long as Monarchy or Hegemony exist, it won’t matter much which of the three economic operating systems are selected. What is needed is a re-examination of intent and desired outcome for the greater good of humanity. At this stage–the Billionaire Oligarchs all benefit from governance for the wealthiest few–while OUR government provides social welfare for the likes of Bezos or Pfizer or Gates. The Oligarchs prefer socialism, as should be obvious by now. The problem with Capitalism, as Chris Hedges aptly observed, is that “capitalism eventually cannibalizes itself.” What needs to be created is a hybrid of all three models while defining the communalistic aspect as a necessary point of discernment; for without the consideration that we are ALL in this together, the imbalances with regard to resource management and distribution and special entitlements will continue to run their course. Insanity is described as doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a better outcome.
