We look at capitalism today and see its faults. We see how terrible it can be and how it can cause massive destruction to the economy like it did in the 1930s with the Great Depression; this evil free market system that destroys lives, families and health. Capitalism at its finest is Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, survival of the fittest. The average person can’t survive in the free market. You have to have some kind of special skill to actually make enough money to survive or even support a family.
So most people who are average look towards socialism to solve their problems, they vote for the Democrat who says he will help the middle class American, give him health care, insure benefits, and make sure they can pay all of their bills. This is great, is it not?
Like I said in part one, the government may take all of your income but it gives you back all of the things you need. See in this socialist market the government doesn’t just get its foot wet, it jumps in and yells, “You’re it!” The government looks at the seller and says, “You’re going to sell your product at this price.” That’s good, now everyone who needs that product can afford to buy it. We look at socialism as this giant overpowering federalist government that dominates everything and doesn’t let anyone do anything without any consent, but it’s not. It is just a caring government that wants everyone to be equal and to survive.
See, in socialism the government controls all means of production, creating standards for everyone that will benefit everyone. So if the government controls your income and how your money is used it only makes sense that it also controls what you buy.
Take meat for example, not everyone eats meat but most do. Those who need meat to eat have to buy it from somewhere. Now in a capitalist, or free market, economy the corporation owners will control how much of the meat they will produce, and at what price they will sell it for. They look at the demand and determine how much they need to supply, simple economics. Well not everyone can afford the meat at the price they are selling it and maybe more people end up demanding more then what was projected. So now not everyone will be able to get the meat they need. In a Socialist economy, the government controls this. It knows how much they need for each person because they control their job; they also control the price because they know everyone’s income so they know at what price it needs to be sold; thus eliminating the idea of anyone going hungry.
Now on that, I want to point out something else. The government totally controls these businesses now so they control how it is run too. So some CEO can’t just fire their own workers or hire their own either and they can’t buy their own supplies. The government buys their supplies, gives them employees based on someone’s skill and gives everyone a fair wage.
Doesn’t this sound great? We destroy minimum wage because everyone is paid the same. We better working conditions, put people in the right job based on their skill and eliminate greed. Haven’t you ever looked at professional athletes and thought, “That’s just not right, what are they doing to better society?” They aren’t! They are just there to show off and make millions off of entertaining people. That’s not right. You’re working so hard day by day to pay the bills and these guys run around with a ball and make millions. Wait a second, how does doing that help anything? Well, it doesn’t. So why not put everyone into a job they are skilled at and not have them worrying about when they are going to be able to pay their bills? If you ask me, it sounds like one pretty good utopia.
