MonoCulture or
the greatest benefits accruing to the top as the exceptional, elite, as
Monotheism's one perfect on top or
Moneytheism's plutocracy as rule of the rich, the result and product of Capitalism.
Corporate Capitalism can accumulate huge degrees of wealth and use that wealth to buy politicians, buy the media, buy government bureaucrats, and buy the government so as to regulate it to their own private profit interests. It is the nature of the corporation, stockholders with no interest, no skin in the game for what they own, and don't care except for the money, they make by the value of the stock.
Progressive means change as producing a superior state or condition to that which was replaced by transformation or destruction. Nothing sacred. The old is to be replaced by the new even if the new is worse than the old, because this is how Excess and Profit is achieved. Whereas Conservative can be described by
Necessity & Subsistence, Progression is described by Excess & Profit and Capitalism.
All & One
The Socialist Whole is called the MetaProperty All. The Capitalist Part is called the MetaProperty One. Every Part must exist for itself and its own survival. However Parts may produce products solely for the self as One, and to the detriment of the Whole as All, by theft and as a concentration of the profit from products in the interest of a few. Corporate Capitalism historically is like its fellow paradigm
Monotheism, as hatred of any but one God itself, violently opposed to Socialism. The One aspires to be the One and only All.
Capitalists say Socialism doesn't work. But this is hard to say since the US of America has overthrown or attempted to overthrow, boycotted and sanctioned and visited every hardship it could muster upon every democratic socialist nation on the planet. So we can't tell how well socialism might work. We know communism doesn't work. And we do know government works and works well when it is honest.
Today young people say Capitalism doesn't work. It works and it works quite well. But it works better for the few as opposed to the many. And what doesn't work in the sense of Capitalism as not good is Corporate Capitalism.
Progressive Paradigm
The Progressive system called the
Progressive Paradigm is based on the One, which means the One perfect, elite, exclusive, crème de la crème, aristocratic and Holy Grail of progressive evolution as the noblesse of any field. Everyone wants to get rich - top-notch. The SubProperties of the Progressive Paradigm are
Progression,
Monotheism,
Patriarchy,
Capitalism and
Fascism.
Progression is to the perfect One. Monotheism is the One perfect God. Patriarchy is the ruler of the family, male, head-honcho and the controlling One. Capitalism is the means to acquiring everything elite, and Fascist because the One superior to the lesser and degraded All is fascism.
Conservative Paradigm
The SubProperties of the
Conservative Paradigm are
Conservatism,
Polytheism,
Matriarchy,
Socialism and
Democracy.
Conservative corresponds to the the Whole as preserving a unity of function and existence in exact or near like form.
Polytheism accepts a plethora of the democracy of any number of Gods and Goddesses and what-have-you. Matriarchy represents female traits as Conservative, preservative and socialistic. Socialism as government representing All and Democracy, wherein elections are parliamentary based on share of vote and not upon who can afford to buy the most face-time and ballots.
However certain of the Corporate Capitalists want to own it-all for private profit. Auto, oil and tire corporations bought-up most American mass transit because Capitalism is more efficient they said, and they promptly ran it all into the ground so they could sell more autos, trucks, oil and tires. Major corporations demonized marijuana imprisoning thousands of people so they could illegalize hemp as competition to their paper and plastics and multiple other industries. Pharmaceuticals sell for instance a certain medicine in America for thirty-seven thousand dollars, the same of which can be bought in socialist Europe for eight dollars. They will steal everything not nailed down. These Corporate Capitalists have no souls and will kill anybody and any number for profit. Just take the Military Industrial Complex.
Want
What people want varies greatly. Small capitalism is ideal for want as anything from marbles, toys, books, furniture, clothes, kitchen ware, household goods, hardware, art products and a thousand things people might want and may or may not need. Probably most people but a small number of radicals, would agree that people love small capitalism. But when companies become cannibalistic and begin buying up the competition, and then go on to buying politicians and the government as corporations do, most people would prefer there would be no Capitalist Corporations, which are like fascist monotheist religion, as one god or you dead and hell to boot. All the major media today in America is owned by just six corporations and for today's mass media truth does not exist. True democracy would demand that financial corporations for profit be illegal. The separation of Corporation and state.
Political Parties
And further for people who want socialist political parties, the Corporate Capitalists will do everything they can to throttle the baby before it ever gets out of the cradle.
And further for people who want socialist political parties, the Corporate Capitalists will do everything they can to throttle the baby before it ever gets out of the cradle.
But it is not they, for they pretend they are angels and believe it as well, but their hired fifth-hand security agencies will, both government and private. Start a card game or a quilting-be and the FBI will be-there to make sure it is not a socialist conspiracy.
Liberals
And then there are the Liberals who call themselves Progressives but who are actually
Conservatives but don't know it. Now how far do you think they are going to get in
Politics ? They are against what the Capitalist gangsters are for, which is ever more, depreciation of the environment, the atmosphere,
ever more war, ever more wealth, poison pesticides, pharmaceutical genocide and private corporate health care carnage where the most dangerous place in the world to have a baby is the US private capitalist health care system.
The liberals want less of all of this and call it progressive.
Less is more. So of course today near the whole of the American Liberal left supports McCarthyism, the overthrow of the US president by any means, conclusions based on authority with no proof or evidence required, pure hearsay. And of course this is to be expected and
a certainty, if they don't know the difference between Conservative and Progressive. And these Liberals like to take-over any new socialist organization that comes down the pike along as does the security agencies but separately and clandestinely. They will convince all they are better educated (abstract school learned) see my degree, therefore they know what's-what and mainly they put the art before the course, or the ends define the means.
They will compromise with the Corporate Capitalists who have the money because they are progressives i.e.
gut the production facilities to pay for a fancy office building, all for show to help raise money for our public media station, and don't I look great in my office.
Democratic Socialism
From wikipedia : "Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production ... participatory or decentralized planned economy." Social ownership of the means of production and a centrally planned economy is communism not socialism. What is a participatory or decentralized planned economy ? Instead of the government deciding how many shoes will be produced called a centrally planed economy, people in the shoe-making business decide how many shoes will be produced called democratic or participatory planning.
So if they decide to produce little to create a shortage and consequent higher demand, they can charge more called market manipulation, unless the price is controlled called government price controls. They can also decide to produce too many and thus make more money, assuming there is a market for more. But the ecologists say we have too many discarded shoes and the landfills cannot bury them all. So who decides how many shoes one is allowed ? Central planning - three pairs per person. Participatory planning says six pairs per. The capitalists say how ever many one can afford. The social workers say the poor should be-able as many as the rich and so-on.
By capitalism - a product is produced and sold. If there is a market for the product the producer does well. If not the producer goes broke.
Corporate Capitalism would have-it, one can have like Emelda Marcos, all the shoes one wants and the producer can make all the money they want, and with
private ownership, this means the rich and the poor, owners and the workers and ultimately oligarchy or government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
Actually Corporations are socialist although you'd never meet a corporatist smart enough to figure that out. A company incorporates, to accumulate capital from multiple share-holders in order to expand production and sales, wherein in the shareholders get-back in the form of profit proportional to their contributive shares. The difference between this and government is that the government is non-profit, and distributes theoretically its benefits equally, wherein the business corporation is for private profit of the owners or shareholders, distributing profits relative to shares held.
What & What Not
And on the other hand we have Progression that has no regard for what exists as inherent condition, but only to
exploit and destroy for raw material and progressive elevation of one sole species to the detriment of all others and else. So which way should the scale tip and be weighted ?
The success of the fifty-one united states is
centralized regulation as what is in common to all the states such as roads, interstate commerce, money,
identification without which the states would be continually bickering with each other and in some cases leading to outright war as in Europe. However the failure of the United States government is the fact that Corporate Capitalists control the country as the Military Industrial Complex by means of the intellegence agencies, banks and media such that the country's wealth is being eaten up by a war machince and is going the dogs. And of course where these problems might commented upon, the Corporate media blames the problems on Socialist government and Russia.
The outlawing of Corporate Capitalism would go a long way to alleviate some these problems. But of course they play for keeps and no crime is too great too maintain their power. They hire holocaust-out and can pretend it never happened.
The biggest problem for to-be Socialism, is that nobody knows what it is. Socialism is continually conflated with communism. For instance this from a libertarian institute : "This most inherent and observable failure in socialist theory pertains to the abolition of private property." ... " Due to the lack of information and ability to satisfy all conditions, you will find it virtually impossible to centrally plan successfully, as has been the fate of every country that has tried." ... "When the central authority is realized, the individuality of each citizen will be usurped by the collective society and central planning will ensue." This quoted above is communism not Socialism as defined here. Libertarians are anti-socialist and generally honest capitalists who blame all the wrongs of Capitalism on the government.
Central Planning
But again it does bring the problem of central planning.
and Conservative Socialism and Progressive Capitalism.
Global warming : "In Kumagaya, a city near Tokyo, the mercury rose to 105.98F, the highest ever on record in Japan." "The heat wave has brought soaring temperatures with highs above 113 F in the Guadalimar basin in Andalusia. The hottest temperatures were recorded on the fourth day of the heat wave with 114.8F in Badajoz and 115.88F in El Granada, Huelva, close to the border with Portugal." "Death Valley just set an all-time sizzling heat record. Every day in July topped out over 110 degrees at the Death Valley observation site. The coolest two days had high temperatures of 113 degrees.
"21 days had high temperatures of 120 degrees or higher. Four days in a row had high temperatures of 127 degrees." The largest fire in the history of California burns today.
Trump pulled out of climight change suppression. Do the Corporate Capitalists care one-wit if the planet burns up ?
They do not. So they keep on building more and more cars. Because the people want more and more cars. It's a democracy. Everybody gets a car who wants and can afford a car. To the extent that cars cause global warming is to the extent that everyone wanting cars is responsible. Of course mass transit could play a much larger role if the culture was so educated. However the capitalist corporate owned media is not going to encourage and move away from corporate built cars. It's all about the One. Everyone gets one, while the producers truck their money to the bank. How would one get them to act if refrigerators were falling from the sky. They would have to be hit by one before any action would be taken and then they would scream bloody murder. So who should plan the future ? The weather will and does.
In today's world, local governments often want more. They want more taxes to fund existing and new programs.
They want more taxable housing and business, or more and more expansion. Of course once a toll is put on a bridge it will stay - becoming ever more expensive until the bridge falls down. Which is to say there is conflict between the Conservative nature of Socialist Government
as the preservation of what it is, and do-good two-shoes charity and general mean-well, which is generally a result of excess population outstripping resources. Humankind possesses an inability to control its ever increasing population except by war.
The most basic of fundamental rights would seem the freedom to have all the children one wants or can afford although this premise probably is not found in any political constitution world wide. Although it is a basic tennant of the Catholic Church where people are spirits, and these spirits must be given the chance to go to hell. Thus there can be no abortion to excape their choosing as heaven or hell. Government of, by and for the spirits.
Religion
The separation of church and state is of course a must.
Monotheistic
Religion is
fascist. Religious government will dictate what religion people must adhere as the one true God as in Sadi Arabia or Israel. Policy would be made in accordance with God's precepts, wishes and commands. Monotheism is religious murder and mayhem sponored by corporate America with Socialist tax payer dollars. They hate socialism but forever fund themselves with tax payer socialist dollars. It's not a conspiracy. They are not smart enough to figure that out.
In fact religion is Socialism. Churches are non-profit communities supported by voluntary contributions and wherein every member is theoretically equal under God except it is Progressive, wherein people are ranked according to their propensity to perfection.
Taxes
People don't like taxes and admittedly they are too high in some places. Taxes pay for government services. Taxes are heirarchal. They can be local, County, State or National as the four levels of government. The largest pool of collected taxes is national and attracts every thief in the domain. Many local governments are crooked. Most however are honest. As one goes up the hierarchal ladder of more money collected state and national the more crooks will be found.
And the biggest criminals and you know what-will be said, the Capitalist Corporations, and they don't pay much in taxes. And for saying things like this they want to close down the internet for the sake of freedom, prosperity, peace and love. The middle and lower middle classes pay all the taxes in a corporate capitalist democracy.
And the corporations move off shore for cheaper labor costs and no labor benefits.
Capitalist Corporations are inherently fascist. The price of stocks one buys are suppose to go up. How do they go up ? The corporation must make more money. How does it do that ? By growing and buying up competitors and by putting smaller especially local business out of existence. Fascist from day one. Amazon is a good example and Walmart. And they love fascist government because it guarantees a stable profitable market, and quashing all social spending so taxes would be low or non-existent.
Same Unsame
People are all the same in most basic ways like two arms, two legs and lungs, one head, heart and belly button and ten fingers. However some people don't want to believe people are all the same. And this is so they can treat people differently and exploit them. They wouldn't exploit themselves or same as self. No people must be different as less or more. For Capitalists, if we are all the same, that is pretty much one product line and limited profit. However if all are different, that is many product lines and many-much profit.
Socialism considers all people the same and Capitalism all different. In a democracy everyone is suppose to stand in line first come first served. But in the capitalist system we know the rich don't stand in line with everyone else, but get special treatment.
Or they would hire someone to stand in line for them. They don't go to the same jails. They are different.
As for Socialism theoretically everyone is the same,
called the same rights and freedoms and are to be treated the same by government. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Of course in capitalist democracy that is non-sense.
Same means the commonalities that people all share as the same. Socialism stands for and represents those commonalities such as needs for air, food, water, shelter, clothing and sleep. Of these basic needs generally, socialism only provides a public water supply. Air and sleep doesn't count, and food, shelter and clothing are provided by the capitalists. Sewage is generally public and sanitation or garbage is sometimes public sometimes private. Radio and TV are by law public but was stolen by the capitalists as they will also steal the internet. Certainly these media affecting the all should be at least 50% public if honest.
Dissimilarities means what is uncommon to all, what some prefer and others if not most would not, called personal-preference or niche, which is the perfect venue for small Capitalism. Capitalist commoditized culture provides the jobs but also creates over-excess and pollution and ravages raw resources with no controls on commodities or population. Socialism as what concerns and is best for the Whole would be best to place controls on Capitalism since capitalism is individualistic and unconcerned with the Whole or big picture.
Equal is same or equality. The lower classes generally are in favor of equality while the upper classes are not, since they enjoy the unequal privilege, of which by class they receive. They prefer Dissimilar.
