Question-1: Is capitalism individualist?
Answer: Yes, capitalists are individualist, but they need a collective of victims (see individualism versus collectivism).

Question-2: Do capitalists need competition?
Answer: It sure keeps them awake and nicely explains why wars exist (Money and War).

Question-3: Why should 'the state' mind its own business?
Answer: Although the present system of democracy is corrupted, it might be possible that 'the state' objects to economic warfare (fighting around 'economic resources').
Example Capitalists (Chevron = Rockefeller camp) want the profits of oil, and have US soldiers fight for oil in Iraq. The US congress is opposed, but must 'mind its own business'.

This dual view (we the 1st-World and they the poor suckers) in the accompanying Rational Science Paradigm or Western World produces seemingly fine result. Outside and looked at with common sense dividing reality in two parts makes no sense.

The split 'capitalists and workers' is very much simular to the split Masters and slaves made by the ancient philosopher Aristotle. In modern terms Aristotle says about what it is to be a worker: Some humans (the worker sort) can do nothing better than to use their body, and are by nature workers, and it is better for them as for all inferiors that they work in multinationals of capitalists.

This is a typical case involving more than 1 parallel paradigms (ways of thinking). Capitalists sincerely believe that they strive for the best of all (although many sense something is 'wrong'). Inside the capitalist dream (paradigm) that's indeed true, but outside certainly not. It's only a matter of what is seen as ALL. In weak moments I nevertheless think:

The near future of 'Defense' Tools

Henk Tuten, October 2003 - Octobre 2011

Reality is as sensed, individual AND and cultural (relative). Objects 'are' as sensed, dependent of ideas, wishes, desires, and emotions. Applying reason (some logic) to sensations easily causes religions, and triggers 'apartheid', slavery, 'capitalism', ..... Man was made to ACT, 'thinking' is just reshuffling experience. Individuals only exist as members of herds. Absolutism (making your own reshuffling religion) leads to War on Terrorism: "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God 'real' and his was an idol". Man is an animal, and much MUCH more than only zombie steered by a rational ghost. Any human is member of some herd (culture) . This existence in a culture heavily influences his decisions. This culture dominates his ethical system (character, values, emotions, his actions). Herds exchange 'goods'. The 'rational' egoist ghost (the 'independent mind') , accepts no authority higher than his own judgment of the truth. Individualism is not opposed to slavery, many individuals hold slaves.Human having 'RIGHTS' is a peculiar illusion, in evolution no animal has 'RIGHTS'. 'Freedom of action', freedom of speech, 'freedom of press' are illusions, inherent in the 'rational' view. 'Economy' in Chinese points at a system for MUTUAL trade. A 'market' for exchanging goods, 'money' is not even mentioned. 'A man's mind' is a fantasy. Of course any man is an individual and makes personal choices, but those choices are valued against cultural principles. Moral principles are relative to a culture (We are the champions). Right and Wrong only exist WITHIN a culture. 'Every man has the right to self-defense' is wishful thinking. Any culture has a defense mode, but the abstract concept 'power' is a 'rational' invention. 'Self-defense' is egoism, as well as 'protecting RIGHTS'. Nature is NO jungle with jungle laws, but as evolution a complex system of growth based on 'balancing'. Physical force creates unbalance. 'Governments' are cultural tools, army, police force part of 'rational' law and order system. The notion 'objective' is a 'rational' invention. Clients of the Rational Firm all are 'rational' and found worldwide. 'Rational' institutions that are 'industrial', 'commercial', 'financial'. Private funds, governments, educational, charitable and cultural institutions, and individuals, estates and trusts. The Rational Firm has an extraordinary capacity to tailor worlds in 'rational' shapes.

RECESSION (1)

George Orwell described fascism as being an extension of capitalism Start 21st century capitalist 'forces' are playing "Risk" to divide the last clean water resources, after having polluted even the oceans. But the victims of capitalism recognized 'playing private property owner' in 'the stock exchange game' as wishfull fantasy (believing that bags full of gold and rectangulaer paperlets present earth). Recession in the capitalist world. This recession was triggered by a simple fact, The White House allowing the 'financial institutions' to print paper dollars as trade value. With extreme arrogance not realizing that this worldwide MEGA-fraud would backfire VERY hard. But by now The Recession of The Western World became a phenomenon in itself. Recession like all 'fires' is violent. Temporary poor people might die earlier, and practically all tycoons will loose their billions. A meteorite was needed to defeat dinosaurs. The Exploiter Predators (money apes) extinguish themselves. With 'mental' recession. Common Sense survives, and 'life' will go on 'as usual'..

The execution of the 'capitalist' IDEA 'rational' container transport is destroying environment. On ALL levels, by replacing 'creativity' with 'economical' 'brute force'.

'Rational' thinking (dualist): a capitalist (rational) system can only be brought down by an opposing 'rational' system supported by a rising 'rational' class. Zarah2nd: Bullshit. The 'capitalist system' will annihilate the 'rational' part of itself, and what is left will be only common sense trade.

Governments supporting Investors is like Herds of Sheep sacrificing to Birds of Prey. In 2009 US Investment Banks paid 140 billion dollars bonuses to their failing management! (a soap).

Recession is like 'exploded tyres' (balloons = Investments Banks). The Western Banking System is since long based on the Rothschild Fortunes, concentrating wealth in one family and related families (sect). Goverments changing all Investment Banks (balloons) in non-profit Trading Centers, is stopping pumping tyres, and is wise. That also means: stimulating creative means of transportation, instead of pumping billions in dead automobile giants It is the fastest way of redividing wealth, and taking it away from the 'Rothschild Sect'. Then CHANGE brings new goverments, based on skill and leadership qualities instead of on the 'rational' IDEA 'political power'.

Quote: Of course, we may prove ourselves to be an evil and criminally shortsighted generation. We may melt the 'caps, log the Congo, burn the Amazon, slushie the tundra, acidify the ocean, drive half of all life into extinction and needlessly cause the deaths of billions of our fellow human beings. But I don't think we will. I think enough of us are better than that, braver than that and bolder than that.

Evolution aims at survival through renewal with minimum labor. 'Work' is only an 'economical' myth, as is 'profit'. Time to revalue common sense behavior like giving birth, creatively training children, growing food, care for parents, ..., as labor Workshops (shareware) aimed at training creativity will survive by making fine products or offering useful services. Wittgenstein said in Investigations: The limits of my language mean the limits of my world. Henk Tuten: What if the words 'money' and 'unlimited growth' are your limits?

RECESSION (2)

The Hunt on the trillions in The Taxfraud Paradises has started. First victim:Switzerland.

Xiaoping: Is the stock market good or bad? ..Can socialism make use of it? Zarah2nd: Stock Markets are paradises for Han capitalists, but money swamps for billions of rural Chinese. Socialism as 'soft capitalism' already uses stock markets.

There is a recession and this recession hits especially 'the poor', thanks to 'the rich' and their financial institutions. In short: 'Rule of the Average' + Egoism/Capitalism caused this recession, and this recession will end capitalism. Recession doesn't mean that food or work disappeared. Only the (virtual) wealth of 'the rich' (called 'money') evaporated

WWI+WWII were financed by the major central banks and the money lenders of the City of London and Wall Street. To prevent further recession. Now the money-bubble threatens to implode again.

Fascism = Corporatism tends to get dominant in periods of economic panic. Early supporters of Hitler: Henry Ford, the Rockefellers, the Dulles brothers, the Catholic Church, German Krupp, Fritz Thyssen, Emil Kirdorf.

At present, Washington borrows $2.6 billion per day to postpone a dollar collapse. The main lenders are Japan and China, who together hold over $1300 billion The collapse of Wallstreet is only a matter of time.

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell

The bankruptcy of Greek economy, was caused by investments banks and Greek Government. It is paid by poor Greek and many millions of European workers. That European Governments decided to save the trade part of bakin activity is obvious. But that they reward misconduct of investment banks and goverments at the cost of the average European citizen is telling a lot about their aim, saving the capitalist money system.

European countries tolerating Putin who returns Russia to Stalin times, and without any problem making 'economic' deals with this neo-Stalin is really eye-opening..

Myth: mind over body creates wealth of nations Zarah2nd: or is meant 'wealth of western nations' at the cost of misery of non-western nations
