“Why’s there dirt under your nails?”
CAPITALISM....
Before to long. The lucky few. Will posture atop their mountain of treasure. Barking orders at the sycophants in their retinue.
Flush with cash and the power it affords. Attained by capitalizing on their advantageous position over others less fortunate than themselves. I.e. buy low incomes unaffordable properties as their put on the table in trying times. And sell high when the dire economic situations of the majority of the populace has bettered financially.
The cash rich money hoarders loan those same poor people even more money. Not out of the kindness of their hearts. For a "meager" price. Like their doing you a favor. And then sell the same stuff (much acquired in foreclosure) back to the newly found prospering economically. At inflated prices. What sounds fare about this trade?
SOCIALISM...... ?
An attempt to create a society. Governed by the philosophy of? A fare distribution of the resources available amongst its populace. As though each individual is as valuable to society as the next. Which history has shown us is not the case.
So some will inherently feel taken advantage of. When they see others barely working hard receiving the same amount of resources as those busting their ass.
You only need to look at the disparities between the treatment of nuclear and extended families. How we ourselves divide time between the two. There’s only so much time to go around. So we priorities the needs of immediate family members. And there’s then lesser for those of a greater distance removed. In disparities that appear foul from a distance.Why one child has more than enough while another’s. Say brothers or cousins is left homeless of no fault their own even.
And overtime that advantageous position is leveraged into a power base reluctant to lose such comfort. So they stock pile resources. So as not to be found so hurting in the worst of economic times. That they might not fail completely. Losing everything for their offsprings future offspring as well to get a head start in mankind’s obvious pecking orders.
So in conclusion. Capitalistic and Socialistic societies often end up in the same predicament.
To little for to many. And a little with much to much.
How many aren’t guilty of building little aristocracy’s ourselves?
But what do I know I’m just a free thinker? Getting high on fiction in California.
