this is all wrong

[Guest]

i think u have to ask urself this question: what makes a system successful? do u consider a system successful if it is apparently good to the society it is installed in? do u think its right to have a few dozens of families around in one country that together have more than 50% of all the worlds money? u surely cannot! u cannot certainly argue that they earned all that money, if u know that most of the worlds population have to work like slaves just to get a few slices of bread... tragically this is the predominant scenario that exists today, which not only is ignored by capitalism but also enforced by it because they know they can spend less money by hiring those people to work for them, thus increasing profits... does this sound like a fair, honest and just system to you? in the world of today u cant possibly come up with a system that cares only about its own society..it has to care about the whole world, if it truly wishes to improve things and evolve in a peaceful world.
i read a brief leaflet once that compared the world to a village of 100 people. in that village, 3 people had a good education, 1 had a computer, 70 didnt have enough water to drink and (if i remember correctly) 85 were starving.. now i admit i could be somewhat wrong about these figures since i have a short memory but im quite certain that they're pretty close. now what is the slogan of capitalism? buy buy buy sell sell sell money money money... do u think ur corporations give a shit about these people? sure they do, they want to exploit there asses off for money money money and more money. how da hell do u think u can manage to live ur happy little life with a car a nice house, cheap gas, more than plenty of food on ur plate, and hundreds more of other luxurious items, like a table for example, laying around in ur room? do u think u earn more money doing ur job than someone who has to work all day long at a dirty noisy polluted decaying factory, just to get something to eat??? does that sound like human rights to you? justice and equality for all? jesus christ and then there are those of u who wonder how come there are people who hates the united states. correction...u dont wonder...they're evil doers, freedom hating, bad bad bad people who just cant stand democracy...for crying out loud if u knew half the shit that is going on in this world because of ur great capitalism u'd swallow ur own words in an instant.

im not defending communism, i dont agree with some of its ideals. im a libertarian socialist. capitalism isnt working, unless ur a selfish hipocrit arrogant motherfucking dipshit who deep down just wants to buy another car and some more tables to pile up just so it looks nice. Sure, thats what all of us want.. we all want to live nice and happy. but do we really want to do it at the cost of other peoples lives? are we worth it? are we better?...

this is already way too long of a post, although there are still many things left out to say. i urge you, as one citizen of the world to another, and at the risk of sounding condescendent, please inform urself better about the world, about what is going on and why. watching tv or reading newspaper is certainly not enough, especially if u live in the west, where most of that belongs to corporations that just care about profit, profit and more profit.

im sorry for my insults, but i simply cant talk about this and remain calm, because this is overwhelmingly disturbing.

Perhaps there is one thing you are confused on.

Certainly the richer countries of the world should have a moral duty to make the lives of poorer people, the world over, better. That would apply to Arabia, Oman and a host of other Arabian countries plus Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, that have more GNP per capita than the US.

Every poor country cannot lay the blame on Capitalism. Colonialisation, tribal war and Imperialism are also to blame and these are not synonymous with Capitalism.

Many of the poorest countries in the world were supported by communist USSR as their economies declined, only to be thrown into complete turmoil as that support died.

Then the perpetual question of distributing AID has caused more misery than it has solved in many cases. There are many, many instances of AID food, medicines and money not arriving at their intended destination but being used to further local political agendas.

I can only conclude that no country, including the US, can fix problems in any country that it is not willing to fix in a democratic way itself.

SM foolishly assumes that the US wants other countries to "fix" themselves, like a dog or a cat is fixed, in democratic ways.

There is NO historical evidence for this thought, of course.

SM also wants us to thing of Imperialism as somehow separate from capitalism. That is, however, not the case, and has never been shown to be the case.

SM really and desperately needs to rethink her alliances.
