Late Night Reflections...enjoy and ponder.
Capitalism exists because we have placed an emphasis on the concept of ownership. I own this and you own that. It's the only form of economic policy that addresses the perplexity of human existence.
Communism exists because we have entertained the idea that ownership can be nullified. However, the issue remains that people are inherently greedy and human nature cannot be reversed no matter how hard you try. History has proven this. We have seen communism has fail much faster than Capitalism.
Society exists because we decided that life would be easier and more comfortable if we divided labor and divided resources. This is where we have progressed from simple families to powerful conglomerates of communities, cities, principalities, and states that we call nations.
There is no such thing as an "independent" person. Only an arrogant and naive person would say such a thing as "I'm independent". Humans need to depend on each other for their survival and prosperity. You know this. Even if you have all the money in the world, you are trading that currency in exchange for something that you did not create yourself.
Therefore, you are dependent on the labor and creativity of others regardless of your socioeconomic status. This does not imply that government is the provider, no. It merely means that a hobo/hermit is the only one that is "independent"...and most of us don't want to live that way. Enter society.
Businesses are the only nations of the world today...and governments are business conglomerates in themselves. The beauty of this is that each business is a nation that may develop into something that has new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new ways of being.
It may be, that the problems of the world can be repaired through a new cultivation of business conglomerates that mold the revolutionary ideals and practices of the future. That something more powerful can come of this...despite these troubled times.
This cannot be if people are still obsessed with their own myopia and biased speculations. Like I said, governments are business conglomerates themselves, and they are failing. It makes no sense to participate in a dying system.
Top rectify the issue, you cannot use political action in the way we are used to doing it. Commerce and innovation, like war or voting, is a political action...perhaps more powerful than war, and certainly more powerful than "democratic process".
I find it funny that so many people comment on political issues when they do not understand history, economics, or psychology. These are politicians, justices, professors, students, workers, and even children. Do not comment on something that you do not understand.
In this lies the fatal flaw of democracy. A Republic is only democracy enforced over a large region. When ignorance is celebrated, you cannot have prosperity. Democracy is not the answer.
Leave me your thoughts if you'd like. Or simply ponder on my own thoughts. If you read this far then thank you for indulging me.
