There are enemies everywhere, all engaging in nefarious, devious and violent means, how can those who know what is good, stand by and let dogs feast? Capitalism has to go. The same issues that plagued feudalism, ie. nepotism, wealth inheritance held for generations, private property held for generations, rampant and oppressive privatization in general, not to mention abject poverty, shows that not a damn thing has fundamentally changed. Like the saying goes, "the more things change, the more they stay the same", the quote illuminating the superficiality of the myriad "changes" people assume and think is taking place. We have merely overthrown kings and established the possibility and capability that many more individuals themselves can be just as tyrannical as the deposed kings of old. Power has been decentralized and dispersed among the citizenry but the essence of that power remains the same, we have gone from kings (Alexander the great, King Tut, etc.) to bourgeoisie (Walton family, Rothschilds, etc.) Wealth and power held for generations to the detriment of many peoples on the earth.Black guy from the future pasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136170325730022110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-15632234991784603332013-04-16T14:57:49.276-07:002013-04-16T14:57:49.276-07:00We are going through a slow motion catastrophe.

I've just taken a flying leap off the corporate ladder because it's finally dawned on me that apart from being slow motion emotional suicide it's also slow motion economic suicide.jollyspaniardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999141103840765243noreply@blogger.com
