The free market solution to overpopulation is mass
starvation. Can we not think of a better way?
The free market sees everything in terms of commodities, human beings not excluded. It’s just a matter of supply and demand. If you have
too much of something, say labor (which human beings call “human beings), it
then becomes cheap. If you have way too much of something, best to dump it down
the drain the way we do cow’s milk when we have more cheese than we can
possibly sell (which is different than more than we can eat, which again is
different than more than we need.).
I have no problem with capitalists. They serve a valuable
function in society. After all, prostitutes and drug dealers are capitalists,
and even making their businesses illegal can’t make people stop demanding their
services. But to suggest we hand over our nation to them lock stock and barrel
is insane.
The capitalist works the milker of cows so hard that he
creates a surplus, and yet the milker is paid such a low wage he cannot afford
to buy back all he has produced. The worker and his children go without while
the capitalist is forced to dump the milk into the earth in order to get rid of
the surplus. This is sick enough and yet it does not even begin to account for
the suffering of the cow and the environmental degradation that results in
nothing more than wasting the milk, the environment, and the labor. It is
merely the cost we pay. It is the sacrifice we make to the god of capitalism.
The problems we face today we face because we quit fighting
the good fight once we got our slice of the pie.
Would that those who view the Second Amendment in absolute
terms view the Sixth Commandment the same way.
A bomb dropped in error cannot be called back. A nation,
once shattered, can never be put back together again. The scar will always be
there, a reminder of violence.
There is a more accurate word for pre-emptive strike, and
that is aggression. There is a word for someone who uses terms like pre-emptive
strike, and that is deceiver.
When the two main parties lose touch with the working class,
it leaves an opening for socialists and fascists to fill, and the powerful
classes will tilt in the favor of the fascists every time.
Unchecked power inevitably goes insane. When one’s power is
unchecked, so is his perception of the world. Suddenly, all things are
possible. The CIA, NSA, there is no security agency that is accountable to
anyone anymore. We now no longer merely have to deal with corrupt institutions,
we have to deal with insane ones.
War only seems a good idea to those who have never
experienced it or those who have been perverted by it.
Governments don’t demand peace,
people do. If we ever want peace, it’s up to us as human beings to create it.
We cannot leave it up to our governments, because they will always insist the
way to peace is through war.
The typical working class
Republican is smart enough to realize his boss is an idiot yet dumb enough to
vote someone just like him into office.
The more your admiration for police
officers and soldiers becomes, the more you are saying that most people need
force in order to be controlled, that freedom applies to the few rather than
the many.
The truth relies on you knowing history, lies depend on you
being ignorant of it.
The Romans knew in order to pacify the
population they needed to give them bread and circuses. The U.S. is cutting out
the bread but is doubling down on the circus end of things.
Who controls the machines controls society.
Technology, taken to its natural conclusion, will make drudgery unnecessary or
else make people unnecessary. If people control technology, they will be
liberated, if capital owns it, they will be eliminated.
The principle task of the Republican Party is
to fire up their right while the principle aim of the Democrats is to mollify their
left.
Asking the experts of today to solve the world’s
problems is like asking the priests of the volcano god how to end the drought. All
they will tell you to do is sacrifice a virgin, it’s all they know. Today’s
experts are little different, there are just more of them. Ask them what their
solutions are, and they will tell you to bomb it, privatize it or medicate it.
Everyone in a position of power in a corrupt
system is de facto corrupt himself. In bowing to a corrupt authority, they have
surrendered their conscience, have proven themselves unable to choose between
right and wrong. They cannot save us, they can only hurt us. We must help
ourselves, there is no other power we can turn to.
