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
