Capitalism Without Beneficial Socialized Restraints Is Unbearably Toxic
Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair
Imagine a neighborhood that resulted from a Commune-ity of efforts and, is now, filled with distrust, accusations, monetary hoarding, spying, and boarded-up windows with numerous weapons at every opening, while the inhabitants support themselves by selling off the foundations so that they can escape from their own delusion-filled creation.
A reading of Erskine Caldwell’s “God’s Little Acre” would seem possibly beneficial but also would probably be too much to ask.
The zealous Capitalists have always relied (definite pun) upon Socialized restraints in order to maintain and expand their dependence upon inequality, injustice, and vanity. They are highly dependent upon ignorance and misrepresentation in order to feed their unquenchable insecurities and arrogance. Global militarized violence is an inescapable component of the lie that they worship – the worshipped lie that they are not using vast amounts of resources, human and otherwise, in order to feed their love of indifference to suffering and environmental degradation for private monetary gain. They also lie when they portray these chronic perversities as being aspects of integrity.
Every form of taxation is socialism.
Where has the great majority of taxes been going?
War and punishing economics in support of elitist arrogance, avarice, and impunity. Socialized cruelty, inequality, and degradation of the environment have always been the main characteristics of Capitalism’s domination over Socialism’s possible benefits. Instead of being egalitarianly beneficial Socialism has been chronically reduced to a position whereby its restraints are used to guarantee Capital is the willfully abusive lord of the manner/manor. The basement foundations – where the majority of those relegated to servitude are told they must live – is continually being stripped for the lust of those who reside above them. The manor house is a whorehouse.
Capitalism has always depended on taxations. Most of the taxations – be they monetary or degrees of privileged power or reliance upon vicious violence – are implemented through predatory Socialized restraints. Capitalists believe the lie that their religiosity is disconnected from Socialism. The truth is that their devotions are inherently dependent upon a toxic form of Socialist restraints and the deliberate elimination of Socialist restraints which are beneficially egalitarian and are conducive to improving environmental quality.
Capitalism can never exist and has never existed on its own. Anyone who promotes the lie that Capitalism is a free-standing economic system is a liar and a member of a cult of degradation. They are pathetic ignoramuses who are severely lacking the very characteristics they proudly and delusionally claim that they epitomize.
These ignoramuses overwhelmingly belong to and support both major teams in thrall to the political whorehouse known falsely as the United States of America. They deserve repudiation and shunning.
We are currently seeing a small rise in the numbers of people aligning with or claiming to be Democratic Socialists. They want the Capitalist focus to evolve into a healthier set of priorities and to implement a shift away from the current, long-standing predatory Socialist Restraints and toward the necessary egalitarian Socialist Restraints. The great problem is that the majority of these Democratic Socialists are also promoting the belief that membership in one of the dominant teams in the whorehouse of the Fake USA is a form of pragmatism. This thinking seems to be a cherished perversity which guarantees continued debaucheries and the belief that, if beneficial Socialist priorities remain in a reduced status in order to buffer the prioritized private Capitalist impunities, this postponing will incrementally transform debauchery into salvation.
As with all the other major religions and their superstitions and love of promoting feelings of insecurity, Capitalism–without Socialized egalitarian and environmental restraints, is a (would-be lordly) devil’s paradise.
The real motto of the pathetic and ignorant Capitalist-dominated state of mind is “God Is Being In Two Places At Once”
or “Money Is God’s Essence and Whatever Is Done For Money Is Righteousness” or All of the above.
