Post 299 A: Communicapitalism, the new age!
It's a term I've been toying with, 'Communicapitalism', a combination of the words Communism and Capitalism. Why, becuase this is what we have in China today between American companies and the Communist Chinese Government.
Let me tell you a little story, a true story. A few month ago I was at a gas station, in uniform, refueling my patrol vehicle. I had an old man of about sixty five or seventy come up to me and start up a conversation. He wanted to talk about all these welfare mothers and "these black men that go around and have sex with them and get them pregnant so they can draw more welfare." I informed him that corporate welfare was far greater of a burden on the American public then social welfare has ever been in any time in history. We will also never be able to change the road to destruction and financial impoverishment we're on until we stop dealing with Communist China altogether, until we stop American companies from bring in Chinese made products into the United States.
He said to my amazement, "China is not Communist"! "Besides," he said "you're on the government dole"! He then stormed off.
I got to thinking, which I know is dangerous for me. There should be a snicker in there somewhere. But, I got to thinking how these people who are Limbough listening, Fox watching, and right wing Republican voting had to twist and warp their minds around the fact that American corporations left American shores and set up shop in Communist China with the help of a private bank set up in the era of Ronald Reagan that took money from American workers via tax dollars, to help set up factories in Communist China in order to put American workers out of their jobs!
After all, what was the Vietnam Conflict all about?
Wasn't that war to stop the Communist menace from spreading it's tentacles to other, supposedly, free nations? Why did fifty thousand ( 50,000 ) American men and women die? Not even counting the hundreds of thousands of wounded, maimed, and crippled for life! Oh, but they are on the government dole, right.
It had to have took nothing less than a form of 'Stockholm Syndrome' on the part of the right wing American people who are not at all wealthy yet vote Republican!
If anyone does not already know, Stockholm Syndrome is when a person who is being held captive against their will starts to identify with their captor, and will even defend their captor. It's a mental survival mechanism for dealing with horrific situations.
The fervor with which the common near poverty righ wing class has supported the wealthy fat-cat Republican party comes close to being almost the same way one feels and interprets ones religion. In fact it is almost if not the exact same.
Ergo wealthy and powerful equals loved by God. It's much the same way one identifies with the classroom bully in hopes that he doesn't pick on them next. But they are being picked on. And they have to be made to see that they are being picked on. Why do you think the GOP hates Public Radio and Public Television so much? They hate any venue that tell the truth, especially about them.
But wait a minute, was Jesus wealthy? No?
The present class warfare was started by wealthy Republicans in Congress and the White House in 1969 under the Nixon Administration. It was carried through to the Reagan, Clinton, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush Administrations. One could even say it started in Congress in 1947.
These Republican politicans have all claimed they have been "called by God" to run. When the truth is they have been called only by whatever billionaire or corporation has decided to back them; that and their own huge ego. But then again, $ money $, in todays Communicapitalism world is God, isn't it. Just ask the person who is about to be evicted from their home because they don't have the money to pay their mortage because their job went over seas. Or the child who doesn't have anything to eat because their parents unemployment ran out, because their job went over seas courtesy of politicans who have told the common working class that the wealthy and the corporation are all powerful and sent directly from God and are not to be questioned. But then again, those poor people are on the government dole, aren't they.
It just constantly amazes me how easily the American public is fooled.
They have told these people "if you work hard and get a good education you have a future." They work hard and get good educations only to find they have huge student loans that can not be settled or dismissed in bankruptcy court. There are also no jobs to use that good education in, because they have almost all gone over seas.
They chose China because it was Communist. They have tight government control over their people. They also have hundreds of thousands of police. If anyone dares raise the question of a Union they're meet with a stick to the head, a kick to the gut, and imprisonment. It is the same thing the wealthy used to do in this country, and wish they could do again.
The American public has also been nickeled and dimed to death. I have found Cracker Barrel pulling bait and switch tricks on their menu. Yesterday I was cheated out of about fifty dollars ($50) at my home town Scottsboro Walmart. I bought a pair of progressive lens glasses. I determined in a few days that I couldn't wear them. I reordered a pair of single vision. Within an hour I had got to thinking, my Dr. said I needed a bifocal. So I decided to get a line bifocal. Davis Insurance covers single vision and line bifocal at the same rate, total. But, I was charged $92.
Do you remember the old Walmart; the one when Sam was alive? They would only buy American made products. It's not that way now, is it! Everything they sell seems to be made in China.
Well, that's all I have time for. Goodnight.
