Capitalism is not democratic
I am writing this article as a reaction
to a rather disturbing peace of writing i stumbled across on the
internet. The article was in favour of capitalism and its primary
purpose is to convince those Ignorant enough that Capitalism is the
Most Democratic system one could hope for. In Summary it stated that
in the free-market everything we do is like casting a vote When we
buy something of somebody you are casting a positive vote for that
Product, Producer, Retailer, Service provider, Etc. This is a very misleading way of
Praising capitalism. We do cast votes when we spend But more often
than not we only get to choose our votes between really bad and
totally absurd. Capitalists are thief's that exploit and deprive
anything and anyone they can. Viewing capitalism as a Democracy is
rather like a thief decides to Burgle somebody while giving them the
choice as to whether thy would rather be Burgled at Gunpoint or given
a death fret with a baseball bat. In a capitalistic society one might
hold a low earning job at a considerable distance to hes dwelling. So
one is forced to drive there because there is no Public transport
system available. And no that individual has tried to get a job
closer to home but nobody would have him. And he can not relocate
closer to work because the housing expenses in that area are higher
than hes meager wages could cover. Hes employer is a capitalistic
multi millionaire by the way. So far every choice has bean forced
upon him by the crippling circumstances of existing at the lowest
rank in a capitalistic society. Now that individual is forced to keep
a car in order to travel the long distance to work. In truth he does
not even want a car but it is forced upon him along with massive
Costs of car repairs, maintenance Tires And petrol. All these things
are not choices but things he is obligated to do in order to keep
this miserable job that pays such a meager wage. Shore he can chose
what brand of car he wants to drive and which petrol company he buys
hes gas from but the reality is that is hardly a choice since he
wanted neither of these in the first place and the ones he can chose
from are al as bad as each other. It is also worth mentioning that
the Car industry is run by capitalists that do not hesitate to take
full advantage of the fact that society is so dependent on cars. We
are talking about Multi millionaires and even billionaires that will
make every effort humanly possible to extract the last dollar of a
Poor worker that earns so little that one could almost cal it slave
labour. In fact it is slave labour. Out of the small amount of money
earned that individual is spending the majority of hes earnings on a
Car. A car that he only keeps in order to go to work. In other words
the car is there to assist him in serving hes employer. The poor
worker has no desire to keep a car in the first place. He is paying a
major portion of hes wages purely just to hold on to this miserable
job in the first place. Capitalism is not a democracy. When one
has to eek hes way trough live you get very little choice about what
you do. These circumstances are very constrictive to our lives and
one can just barely exist. Any choices you do get are as good as the
choice whether you'd rather be burgled with a gun or a baseball bat. If democracy has led us to capitalism
it has either bean the result o manipulation or the fact that in a
democracy everybody gets a vote including idiots, and there are lots
of idiots out there. The truth is that capitalism has gotten where it
is with a combination of evil money grubbing people manipulating
idiots that are to dumb to see that they are victims as well. May capitalism along with its evil be
banished to the nether regions where it shell stand exposed where its
once protective shell will wither and its inhabitants fall pray to
Shadows where the daemons of ancient hatred come forth to devour
