Beginning of the End or Just a hiccup in the fabric of the world’s only Capitalist Country

Perhaps the United States of America has outlived its Capitalistic beginnings. Capitalism argumentatively didn’t start in America until after the War between the States. I subscribe to this from the stand point Slavery can’t exist in a Capitalistic Democracy. America’s Founding Fathers were surly thinking similar to a Capitalistic Democracy. Yet it was unattainable in the form it has become now, restricted by the ‘Sins of our Fathers.”

America matured, and abolished slavery as I believed it always had intended, despite those who wish to hold America hostage with its earlier inhumanities. Capitalism by its nature opens the door for Greed, Self-centredness, Selfishness, Self-decadence, however the idealism of Capitalism simply put, individualism, freedom of will, meant to close the door to the natural characteristics. Leaving Americans to make the right choices without intervention. Intervention by Government, Religion, or Monarchy.

We can debate the moral issue anytime you wish, but for now realize the end to Capitalism is on a fast train to the Socialist Zone. And Socialism is intervention into every aspect of individualism. The question now, whose intervention will be forced on us. Ben and Jerry’s Ice-Cream co-Founder commented in a 1999 New York Times editorial rebuttal, an editorial that attacked Ben & Jerry’s achievement against Capitalism. The New York Times was dead wrong, if not for Capitalism Ben & Jerry’s wouldn’t have achieved all the good they’ve done for their employees and inspired other businesses to do the same.

“To the Editor:

Your Dec. 22 news article about our announcement that potential buyers had shown interest says, ”Some also see the battle as a last stand by hippie idealism against capitalism.” This is crazy. We set out to prove that ”hippie idealism” is the best way to reinvigorate capitalism and increase profits.

We have always believed in the value of investing in all our stakeholders: customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the larger community. This has paid off handsomely in increased profits, market share and shareholder value.

Many top executives have come around to the need to invest in human capital. As the president of Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, I work with current or past chief executives of many top companies. We are trying to increase financing for education, health care and other investments in our children, paid for through cuts in needless cold-war-era Pentagon projects.

With the Bush Administration’s plan of investing into (9) of America’s biggest Banks, Capitalism as we’ve known it in America has began to collapse. No turning back whether we elect John McCain or Barrack Obama. However the timetable and characteristic for America’s new political posture will differ from who’s elected the next President of the United States. With the possibility of a Democratic Congress and President the future of Socialism will be closer than, a divided and balanced Washington lead by a Republican President, or an otherwise balanced Congress…

Senator Obama recently enlightened the citizens of America for better or worse depending on which side of the isle your on, when he commented he wants to “spread the wealth.” A Freudian slip, say it’s so Obama, but he can’t, because Obama’s chief supporters, and backers are of the Extreme-Out there far Left Zone. While we may believe Obama is an independent thinker, up to now that may have been true. But his success is due in large part to the deep pockets of the far Left loonies. And if you believe the polls Payback time is soon. The Left Loons are elitists with their idealism for a more Socialistic Democracy centered on their need to be the elitists.

Socialism is separation of Classes. Capitalism has its separation of Classes as well. But with Capitalism there’s the idealism that achievement and success be rewarded with a path to climb higher up the ladder. A Socialistic Democracy only offers two Classes, the Elitists, you and I. Heaven help you and I. Socialism from the Left, Right, and between, is wrong, separation of Classes is wrong, but with Capitalism comes what some would call the American Dream. Socialism offers no individualism, no dream of apiece of the pie, at least not by one’s own achievement. Rather by Group selection. If your an evolutionist then the coming Socialist Republic of America should be right up your alley.

The Russian Revolution was initially Socialism at the onset, then changed quickly into Communism. Obama’s, recent message of wanting to redistribute and spread the wealth of America, President Bush’s government investment plan into (9) of America’s major Banks, and McCain’s support, though reluctant. Spells the beginning of the end to America’s Capitalist Democracy, it’s liken to the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels. Their idealism and promise of Socialism wasn’t a dream, but a nightmare for the proletariat or working class of Russia. We could discuss that America is headed in this direction, but regardless of your belief, in the end American’s lose.

Now the best American’s can do is slow the pace of Socialism with hope that a well paced transition will bring about a unique form of Socialism. Socialism is around the corner, and your vote this Presidential election can either slow its pace or speed it up. When individual freedoms like that under a Socialistic Russia then Communist, begin to erode with enlarging the federal government and intervention of the group into American individualism then I have a problem. Socialism can work in a Democracy, of sorts. But doesn’t begin to come close to the same freedoms we have now in a Capitalistic Society.

There’s so much more to say, here and now I only wish to develop some thought, yours. Let me know, am I blowing smoke or do you see as I the dangerous path American Politics is headed.

This is my opinion, and I am david 102108
