Democracy
The arab world needs “democracy”: this is another of those magical, abstract words that everyone is brainwashed to chant. No one ever says what they really need, and namely HIGH QUALITY HOMES WITH A LOW RENT AND JOBS. This is the starting point, the basics for any kind of economy to take off, for any kind of possible future, for any kind of progress.
Since the market can’t create and will never be able to create millions of real - productive jobs because we now live in an automated, optimized and global economy that needs and will increasingly need less and less work, only the government, only large scale public or public - private entities hiring millions of people, even mostly to do nothing at all, since there really isn’t much to do anymore when the productive process is so high tech and automated will really cut it. And these workers will need homes having a low rent, so say a salary of 500 dollars a month and a rent of 100 dollars a month for a 1,000 sq ft (90 sqm) home with running water and electricity.
Now that is what the arab world needs, that is what the “third world” and now even large areas of the “first world” need. But the right wing thugs, the capitalists, the banks and all others keep people brainwashed with all of this BS of meritocracy, you have “to deserve it”, you have to “innovate”, be “competitive”, be “flexible”, “have the right hot new skill set”, etc. etc. All of this talk just serves to justify not giving at least the basic starting point, the real basics to everyone, but exclude as many people as possible with all kinds of possible excuses: the excuses are never ending, you will never be competitive or innovative or flexible enough, there will always be some hot new skills that the corporate geniuses invent, to exclude, to kick out of work the older slobs, to filter out as many slobs as possible and hire only those select few that know all the secret passwords and jargons and information manipulations that have been arbitrarily assigned as the “hot new skill set”; just to dump it all a year or 2 later and start all over again.
And when all of these excuse are not enough, then we need “democracy”, that insane, absurd process where millions are brainwashed with all of this huge pile of crap and vote in other more refined right wing thugs to keep the game going. The game consists of robbing as much as possible from the poor, create as many fake resource scarcities as possible, invent as many excuses as possible and set up the poor against other poor, so they beat each other up with all possible excuses based on race, color, culture, meritocracy, competition, etc.
No one ever says what directly is needed, what directly should be given to all by law, by imposition, because an advanced civilization should know better, should understand the basic point that FREE SALARIES AND CHEAP RENTS are what is needed worldwide, and this is the starting point. Then if someone is better he can make all the millions he wants, but millions have to start out with houses and jobs given by the government, jobs where what is produced and doing nothing at all is correct and ok, because this is the reality of a high tech globalized economy.
But no one cares, no one can see through all of this BS of capitalism, profit, innovation, competition, and “democracy”, etc. Now thousands of poor slobs from northern africa want to enter europe (hoping to achieve at least the basics, good luck with that) some are drowning, but no one says what is really directly needed. We live in automated economies that have HUGE EXCESS CAPACITY in all productive endeavors (so much capacity that we have to keep millions out of work and essentially pay them for free anyways through pensions and unemployment etc. less we soffocate in all of the production we are now capable of, the US has 10 million empty homes, Europe from Lisbon to Moscow has 20 million empty homes, THAT IS CALLED EXCESS CAPACITY). There are 100 trillion dollars the rich have in banks worldwide not doing anything, and the Fed keeps on printing billions of dollars and handing it right into the hands of the already super rich. Most of these thousands of billionaires don’t know what to do with all the cash, it is insane, really!
Egypt has 20 million people under the age of 30 years old, they have no house or job, europe should create at least 7 million jobs and offer 7 million homes for the jobs to allow to rent: it won’t happen through the free market or capitalism, can no longer happen, we need free salaries and cheap rents, 500 DOLLARS A MONTH SALARY GUARANTEED AND 100 DOLLARS A MONTH RENTS FOR 1,000 sq ft (90 sqm) home with running water and electricity.

Oh, and by the way, beware of another of those magical and abstract concepts, the DEBTS and PUBLIC DEBTS countries have worldwide. This is another control mechanism, to keep people under the thumb of the rich and capitalists, first they got people and governments into huge debts and now there is no way to possibly pay it off ( like a naive poker player) except by fooling people to buy into the debt so they can get a small profit. The great DEBTS scam and fraud, when the Fed can just print the trillions and zero out the debts in a jiffy, but this control mechanism is just too cool and effective (by the way, Europe is getting billions of dollars in fake money from the Fed anyways with the excuse of the DEBTS).
