...on the foundations of capitalism....especially not these days when "capital" is worthless paper printed by private banks and loaned to us, the government...capitalism, the building of private wealth, depends on exploitation, of everything...of people, or resources, of the planet of common decency...how can it be otherwise when the stated aim is INDIVIDUAL wealth and not collective welfare....by which I mean welfare as in the well-being of humanity, not a state "aid" program.

...this is supposed to be okay because taxes will redistribute the wealth...through taxing those with lots of money will come the money to spend on the well-being of those who haven't as much...and we know not everybody can have lots of money; the system can't work that way and isn't meant to work that way. Except that in their drive for more and more money the rich have become loathe to pay any serious taxes, and so the whole idea of capitalism creating the wealth to care for humanity is blown....it's become what it always was; simply a way for the rich to get even richer, using the rest of us as the means by which they do that, while offering us crumbs to keep us alive and able to work at making THEIR wealth for them....and even at that we had to fight them tooth and claw for some relief, for shorter work days, no child-labor, a decent wage and the rest, which they've taken back over time...they offered us NOTHING but the "chance" to make them richer....they even created mock-wars and fake emergencies so we could die for their wealth too.

No one needs communism if there is a good socialist option, but neither of them are possible on a capitalist foundation of private banks loaning money to a government, even a socialist government.....for this reason capitalists point with scorn at Euro socialism and say it can't be sustained...they're right, it can't be, not until the very means by which governments (meaning the rest of us) come by our money depends on the capitalist/rich-INDIVIDUAL model......
