RE: Why I won't support Jerry Banfield anymore - JerryCoin

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

Haha. Well, not only am I friends with CEOs of massive corporations, but my uncle was a CEO of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and I’ve hung out with Richard Branson. I think I know what I’m talking about. It’s not fantasy buddy.
There are far better systems than greed capitalism. We don’t have to resign ourselves to what we have now because we have the intelligence to create better systems, but we can only do it together when we aren’t complacent and apathetic.

Sort:  

Better system but you didn't mention any? Haha.

Just because I can’t spit out a system at your supercilious beck and call doesn’t mean there isn’t t oneand doesn’t mean we can’t work together to create one.
More poignantly, we should work together to create one.
Why? Because your beloved capitalism clearly doesn’t work.
Ask any sane, educated third world person what they think of our precious capitalism. Oh. It works for oligarchs. It almost works for first world countries.
But the system itself is destroying our planet’s ecosystems because there’s nothing keeping it in check.
We need something vastly different. Something invented in this new era when we are painstakingly aware that we do not have infinite resources on a finite planet.

All that being said, a

RESOURCE BASED ECONOMY WITH NO MONETARY SYSTEM
Is really the only way forward at this point.

We have something new better coming. Blockchainism, will be a combination of capitalism, socialism and communism.

Even the Venus project, the Zeitgeist movement and permaculture have better designed systems than capitalism.
We need to move to a

RESOURCE BASED ECONOMY WITH NO MONETARY SYSTEM
.

But the system itself is destroying our planet’s ecosystems because there’s nothing keeping it in check.

thats actually the problem. People keep trying to put the capitalistic system in check, when all that ever does is solidify those who already understand how to game the systems chances at staying at the top...

True free market capitalisms check and balance system is free trade. Sure monopolies will arise temporarily, and may have a negative impact, but as long as people have the ability to be innovate new and more efficient ways of doing things the system will check itself over time.

you mention that capitalism only works for first world countries... thats entirely false it benefits third world countries much more because it gives them an opportunity to recieve funding from sources other than their own failing governments. You only see problems when these countries enact rules that hinder free market capitalism such as in veneuzuela

NO. The oligarch class use governments as pawns in a grand chess match. Third world governments are not at fault for their situation in the capitalist system.
Capitalism (and communism) can only work if human consciousness evolves and the playing field is made even. Until then, these systems will always be played by oligarchs for their own benefit and to the Earth’s detriment.
It’s foolish to have any system that has no humanity at its core.

What happened to Veneuzuela is entirely the fault of Hugo Chavez's shit economic policies. PDVSA is literally the entire reason the countries economy is where tis at right now.

That in itself proves that capitalism doesn’t work. Because if any government can make choices that adversely affect future generations of people that had zero to do with those decisions and nobody in the international community recognizes the economic injustice and disparity, then innocent people are suffering unnecessarily.
It’s a broken, dysfunctional system that operates without conscience.
And an elite class are still benefitting.

Thats where you've been brainwashed by your own experience with government. What we have today is not capitalism, I don't even know if i would even call it crony capitalism at this point.

Just because your own government has its hands in every facet of your life does not mean that all government must do the same. A government that allows the economic sector to police itself can exist. While on the other hand there is no form of socialism that can exist without government imposed monopolies on force.
