Why We Are Totally Finished

In A Nutshell: Corporatocracy Has Replaced Capitalism

Capitalism Fixes Problems & Preserves Democracy: Capitalism is what we should be relying on to fix our problems. Capitalism has it's own ecosystem, just like biology's ecosystem. An economic ecosystem that weeds out the weak, has parasites that eat the failures and new bacteria that evolves and grows replacements for that which failed. A system that keeps everything in balance.

The problem is we are no longer a capitalistic society. What we were taught in school is now utter and absolute nonsense. Capitalism is a thing of the past.

As outlined in "It's Not A Financial Crisis - It's A Stupidity Crisis", we created two back to back bubbles. The air out of the Tech Bubble was sucked up for fuel by our next stupidity crisis: The Housing Bubble.

Now, after the second Stupidity Crisis there isn't a third bubble to inflate. If we still lived in a capitalistic environment the banks and financial institutions that created loans for folks who should have remained renters and then sold those loans as investments to pensions and countries would have been cleansed by capitalism's ecosystem.

But that isn't what happened.

In a very anti-capitalistic move the government decided that stupidity and criminal activity should be rewarded. I'd say they took our money, but it is worse, we didn't have that much money. So they borrowed the money in our name. The loan has a variable rate. They borrowed so much money that our kids cosigned the loan. In fact, our kid's future kid's signed on the dotted line.

That is unequivocally immoral.

Who do you think manipulates the government that bailed out the banks? Current government is just a capitalist PR department...

you forget that having a war sucks out all your spare cash. many bubbles are out there and just need to run out of money in order to implode. blame the system? or blame the fucks who spent all your money burying your nuclear waste into tora bora at high cost?

many financial models work as long as cash is flowing. liquidity is the lifeblood of business.

Good thing there is a Third Position to capitalism and socialism (i.e. Corporatocracy). It is the perfect solution, because it represents everything healthy and essential to replace what now is.

Revolutions fail, but regeneration is unstoppable and inevitable.
It has begun, the change has started. The rest will be history.
