we can use what we have found out so far, to create
a understanding of, how are we to act?
we are to act to benefit the system or systems we are in,
unless and there is always an unless, the system is a danger to us
and others like us…
so in practical terms this means, we promote and help the current
system we are in unless it is a danger to us which capitalism is…
and who decides? to give another practical example, I have concluded
with evidence provided here, that capitalism is a danger to myself
and to the earth… so I cannot in good faith promote and protect capitalism…
it must be changed…or ended…the practice of capitalism has endangered
my health, it has damaged the earth in ways that cannot be repaired
and it endangers the future… as a system, capitalism is too dangerous
to continue… and we must end this system…
we can promote and continue another economic systems that is less dangerous
and less harmful to me, to the people around me and to the earth…
one of, ONE OF, the criteria used to discover if something worth continuing
is this, is continuing this system a clear and present danger to me and others?
and the answer is clearly yes…for capitalism…
and the idea between transactional actions and behavior would be that,
the point would be to continue capitalism as the “safest” thing to do, to maintain
the status quo, to work in its efficiency of its established routines and procedures
and by working on the efficiency of capitalism routines and procedures, we can
aid capitalism form damaging people… by improving its efficiency, we improve
the system of capitalism… but it very efficiency is the problem with capitalism…
capitalism is not concerned with saving or conserving, it is about consumption…
creating and feeding that consumption… that is the goal of capitalism…
in unchecked, that is all capitalism will continue to do, is consume until
there is nothing left… and capitalism dies at the same time we die…
that is part of the failure of capitalism… its function is to consume
and create consumption as its means of fulfilling its desired effect which
is by increased consumption, we increase our profits…
now reread that last sentence and understand this…
at no point does it pretend to care if people are hurt or suffer under capitalism,
that isn’t the point of capitalism, consumption is, not people or their values,
but the act of consumption is to create more profits…and how does that
consumption help the overall system of planet earth? it doesn’t…
once again we return to the equation… what we consume must be equaled
by what we produce… production and consumption must be equal…
if not, then have an unequal equation and that is means the
the equation is about to fail… you must have equal sides of an equation
for that equation to succeed…energy and matter must be equal for that
equation to be successful… we see that the solar system is an equation…
and the equation must be equal on both sides or the system fails…
maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually…and that is why the solar
system succeeded… it is an equation that is equal on both sides…
and we see why systems work or don’t work… they are equations…
and if the equation is unequal, then the system must at some point… fail…
if we think of capitalism as a system, it is unequal… and it admits it is unequal…
and by doing so, it will fail… we must transition to an ism or ideology…
that is an equation and that equation must be equal on both sides or it will fail…
so if too many people are taking out of the system more then they are putting into
the system, they are creating an unequal system and it will fail… which is why
we must, must have equal taxes being paid by citizens and corporations and the church…
if we have one or even two sides collecting benefits but not contributing
that is creating an unequal system and that system is going to fail and that is
a perfect description of what is happening today…because of the failure of
the wealthy and corporations to fulfill their part of the equation, the equation
becomes unbalanced, unequal and thus is far more likely to fail… and we see
another example of how our system, America is becoming unbalanced…
unequal and that inequality is so damaging to the system it becomes at risk
to failure… and that is what we are facing failure because both
out economic and political systems have become unbalanced and unequal…
the equation that is the economic and political system of America have
become unequal… the rich have bought the economic and political
system of America and that has created an unequal balance, an inequality
to America that threaten to damage the entire system to the point of failure…
if you want to see how this plays out, read the “Decline and fall of the Roman Empire”
by Gibben…read how the failure of the system was created in part by the
wealthy and religious to avoid paying taxes and thus created an unequal burden
on the poor and working class to make up the difference…
that put stress on the system and made it unbalanced and unequal…
and it failed…and our system following the model of the Roman Empire
will too fail and for the same reasons, we didn’t maintain or keep up the equation
that allowed the system to succeed…the Roman system invested a major
portion of its money into defense… sounds familiar?
we are following the Roman path to a system failure and it won’t be pretty…
the system is unbalanced… theirs or ours? yes…
and that unbalanced system, that unequal equation is what
did destroy the Roman empire and will destroy us…
so, the question becomes finding balance and creating an equal
equation in America today… and that begins with the money…
we must no longer have inequality in our incomes… that is unequal…
and creates a unbalanced equation… and that threatens our system/systems…
for America to survive and thrive… we must begin with creating
a balanced and equal America…we must have an equation that
allows America to thrive and grow… and that begins with income
equality which allows the balanced between members of the group
to maintain… we must have an equal or balanced judicial system
that is really, truly blind or it creates an unequal, unbalanced system…
and that lack of balanced creates an unequal system and that threatens
all of us…
so those words of equality… and the words of justice… are not just words
that do nothing… they are balancing words that allow our system to
actually function… without equality and justice… our system will begin to fail…
like any system that becomes unbalanced… unequal… the equation on both
sides must be maintain and continued or the system becomes threaten with
failure…
