Americans are used to being told how to think and what to think.
Freedom of choice is cherished yet never really demanded. Americans have
allowed the real dependent class, the wealthy, license to enslave.
Those opposed to a true egalitarian society where government, ’we the
people’ play a prominent role in deciding what is best for us all claim
that government should not pick winners and losers. They claim the
‘free market’ is the best arbiter of the most efficient distribution of
capital.
What does that even mean? Potholes, medical needs, alimentary needs,
shelter needs, and clothing needs exist irrespective of economic system.
If these needs cannot be satisfied within the confines of the economic
system it means the economic system is flawed.
The economic system is manmade. Needs for the most part are not. As
such it is the economic system that must adapt to a society and not the
other way around. Those that practice unfettered capitalism are no
different than the ideological clergy who attempt to fit their ancient
scripture driven ideologies into today’s realities. The authors of those
scriptures likely neither had the tools nor the mental maturity to
extrapolate into the future that is now today. But just like many have
blind faith and believe in the absoluteness of ancient scriptures, so do
those that believe in unfettered capitalism.
