While Lori/Sammy, babbles on about, god know what,
I am here to bring out some points that he has no interest in…
the question is not about his racism or antisemitism or the
other hates he has, but about the important questions…
the Kantian question, ''What am I/we to do?" ''What should we believe in?"
''What should we hope for?" ''What can we know?"
as he has no understanding of these questions, I shall try to bring
their value into focus…
the question, “what am I/we to do?” is a question about what sort of
life we are to live… today, we live within certain systems, economic,
social, political and philosophical…
Sammy always argues against communism/socialism… but he has no
understanding of what that actually means… true communism means
that the state owns all the economic means within that state… in other
words, the state owns the businesses and economic enterprise of the society…
that is what communism means… socialism is more of a mixed economy…
the government owns some economic assets, but there is private enterprise
within a socialistic government… Sweden for example has the government
owning some aspects and private business owning other aspects…
this mixed economy is by far, by far the most common type of government
in the world today… America for example is clearly more socialist than
communistic… some aspects of our lives is dominated by government
and other aspects are owned by private enterprise… we have a mix
economy… but as the government does not own all private business,
we are not a communistic society…and what is pure capitalism?
that means the government is not engaged in any economic activity,
that all society is dominated by business… and we know for a fact,
that this type of government is extremely dangerous for the society
and the state and the individuals within that state/society…
this type of corporatocracy… where the business own the means of
the government, is a clear and present danger to us today…
for we live, right now, and right here, we live in a corporatocracy…
government of business, government by business and government for business…
that is as valid a description of America today as you are ever going to find…
but Kropotkin, no one says this… of course not, for the media is owned
by big business… in fact, 95% of all media is owned by 6 corporations…
your information is censored and limited to what big business wants you
to know…
now what does all this have to do with Sammy/Lori?
easy, this is the system he defends with all his might…
that corporations own all aspects of the American society…
for why do you think that corporations attack such things as
unions and communism and any type of collective actions?
because they are a threat to big business stranglehold on America…
if people were to act collectively, they might discover that they
are no longer in power, in any way, shape or form…
if you have no voice in any aspect of your life, is it your life?
if you have no political power of any kind, is it your life?
if you have no say in any economic power of any kind,
is it your life?
that is the point… the entire political question can be reduced
to two questions, who is in charge and who pays for it?
that is the entire political question in a nutshell…
and the answer to that question is big business is in charge
and we pay for that… and that is the pretense of Sammy…
that we have some power in our lives if, if we hold onto
capitalism or private enterprise… but that clearly isn’t so…
it is only by collective actions, by us acting together can we even
begin to change the system… to end the corporatocracy we have today…
by Sammy argues against this collective activity… he has been brainwashed into
believing that he has some power by being alone, economically, socially,
politically… and he has no power of any kind because he is alone…
one person cannot make any changes in our existence… we are,
as one may recall, social creatures dependent on others for our
primary needs… we must have others to meet our biological,
psychologically, emotional and economical needs… that isn’t opinion
but fact… we must have others to help us find food, water, shelter,
love, esteem, safety/security, and our economic needs…
to argue against collective actions, is to put us into our own
individual self against the power of economic forces that
own our lives… a battle we cannot win alone…one versus a
state/society… the winner is pretty easy to predict…
but with more and more people engaged in actions against
the collective power of the corporations, we might have a chance…
but Lori/Sammy argues against that… he believes in the
corporatocracy of America… and that is the one thing that
corporate America hates, is any kind of collective actions
against or even for something… he is arguing for the system/society/state
to be owned by corporations… and that is exactly what he does when
he argues against communism/socialism… for what is left if we
don’t have a socialistic society? the only economic, social, political
systems left is capitalism, which has bought and sold democracy…
our political system has been sold to capitalism… so, we have only
corporations that run the world, socially, politically, economically
and philosophically…and that is what Sammy is fighting for,
and he doesn’t even realize or see that… he is blind…
so, what system of the society, economic, political and philosophical,
are you fighting for? and what actions are you taking to achieve your own
values?
