Freedom and Capitalism

  • Jul. 23rd, 2008 at 2:22 AM






As I was talking to my friend last night, a little blurb about freedom and capitalism came in:

¨[sic].... We are only free in the constant effort to achieve freedom....¨


When you think about it, freedom is only as free as the agenda behind the person allowing for the freedoms, which, in any other circumstance, should be unalienable rights.

Any country or religion would deny human beings even the most basic of necessities and then, once an insane riot breaks out, hand a small token over sheepishly, as if to say ¨we see you revolting, and we want you to shut up¨. Upon the acquiring of such token, the revolting people, still as oppressed as before, scream the praises of their country/religion, and how no other country or religion would do that, and that is why their country/religion is the best.

For example, when women got the vote in the united states in 1924, Soviet women already HAD those rights and more for a while then. Upon getting the vote (not even basic rights like the right to make money or the right to go outside the house without male companionship), such women exclaimed ¨God Bless America!¨ And became martyrs for the capitalist regime.

Another example would be when Black people became treated as equal in America and Canada. They were not even considered human beings, and upon grave efforts, got minimal rights and exclaimed God Bless America!

A few years ago in Victoria BC, I was at the Gay Pride Parade. A rather flamboyant man came on the stage and said ¨Canada is the land of the free!!¨ *insert cheering here* ¨In this country I can get married!!¨.. Homosexuals had only gotten the right to marry a few months prior. The USSR and Nazi Germany had given gays that right far before the lynching of homosexuals had even become a mainstream practice in America.



What happened? These people had been disregarded from even buying houses and now they are full blown soldiers for the system?

The capitalist tyranny could only go about being successful when small tokens of effort have been given. If you refer to the pyramid I made lower on the page of my journal you will see the superficial barrier example.  There is no change happening, but small rewards are being passed down in order for the true blind fellowship can flow.

People are having a hard time remembering that they dogs had more rights then they did a second ago, and still do. Why are people content with their small crumbles and not recognizing the fact they should have had those rights to start out with? Why are people ok with just a tiny crisp of the bag and not remembering that the same system they are advocating for to the death (see: signing your soul to satan) is the same system that bought the rope to lynch them with a month prior?

In the Capitalist system, there are no true freedoms, as by definition freedom means the ability to an independent entity of self. The ability to move without having to advocate your right to move. The ability to speak without having to advocate your right to speak or even debate or justify the means behind wanting to speak or for what.

The only freedom any human being ever has is the constant freedom to make an effort to achieve freedoms. You are free to try to be free. In that, humans are equal and free at all times. However when more and more people recognize this freedom, the system steps in to give them this said token that destroys this union ten fold.

In the end, the only democracy we have is the constant democracy of having no democracy thus, the efforts to achieve democracy. In my opinion, the closest we have ever gotten to truly having such actual freedom vs. mental freedom was in the USSR. I will get around to writing that sometime.

Those patriot Democrats scare the hell out of me. How could they possibly associate the charter of rights with God Bless this Country and Support our troops? Holy shit. Oh yeah, I forgot to write the bit about that support our troops thing. I will get right on that as well....
