Trump is a problem but Capitalism is THE problem

 

While political, media andother mind managers all but blame the arrogant rich boob currently occupying thesubsidized housing in DC for everything from WW2 to the Korean, Vietnam and Civilwars, global and especially American capitalism has entered a stage of moredanger to life in general than at any previous time in history. The assault onnature and weaponization of markets cannot continue if humanity, let aloneAmerica, is to survive.

 

At the end of the SecondWorld War a republican president warned of the dangers of a military industrialcomplex taking over the country and leading us to ruin. That has come to passand probably in worse ways than Eisenhower or his speechwriter might haveimagined.

 

This nation officially beganwith an invasion and take over of most of a continent, the murder and economic enslavementof most of its population and continued to become a dominant imperial power,especially since the end of the Second World War, which was the period ofEisenhower’s warning. Since then our War Department – commonly called a DefenseDepartment, which is like calling a rape crisis center a Love Department - hasspent trillions of dollars dominating major parts of the globe, all the whilewith its hired influencers selling that as democracy, peace and humanitarianpolitics, the way a mass murderer might claim to be defending its victims.

 

Most Americans are programmedto see foreign efforts to improve the lives of their people as conspiratorialand murderous plots to deny us our freedom to love our pets while hundreds ofthousands of our people have no place to live. And the bloody assault on thesource of our lives, nature itself, continues long past the point of being thejob of marketing and private investment, but that is what has been running theworld since at least the 19th century and now in the 21sthumanity must wrest control from minorities who have ruled for far too long andcreate a real and not rhetorical democracy to turn the world and all peoplefrom a path leading to devastation to one offering salvation for all and notjust some.

 

A tall order to put it mildlyand given the enormity of the problem for humanity and not just one or anothernation or religion or identity group, the need to come together and act ashumans and not simply market consumers obsessed with individualism as foundationfor the social mass murder of warfare becoming more obvious even with idioticword games to cover its brutality with cosmetic language.

 

Thus we have “rules of war”that treat the insane acts of mass murder as normal parts of nature as ordinaryas tides coming in or out and the sun rising and setting. This dates back tothe beginning of minorities ruling majorities with kings, emperors, queens andempresses acting as gods or special chosen people in whose hands wisdom andinsanity were placed lest ordinary people create democracy before the word ifnot the concept existed. Royals at one point sat on hilltops watching armiesslaughtering one another with rules not to hurt anyone who wasn’t chosen tomurder or be murdered. Supposedly great religions were created and rationalizedto carry out these holy wars, but with some revolutionary religious leaderscalling for peace and love among all people and thus echoing our “pre-historic”– before minorities took control –origins in hunter gatherer people whoperformed in democratic and communistic fashion and were eventually replaced byalleged holy royalty for living such silly notions.

 

Now we have supposedly welleducated people with doctorates in mass murder deciding on proper and improperways of blowing brains out and burning to death “the enemy” and all the whileclaiming this murderous filth has a foundation in morality and intelligence andis the only way to solve problems whether real or alleged. Noisy neighbors?Kill them.

Think you were short changedat the market? Blow it up and kill everyone there. Such idiocy makes greatsense to the moral degenerates who preach, plan and have others carry out warsby mostly convincing innocent people that if they don’t murder this enemyselected by formally educated fiends who wear high fashion and perform lowmorality, we’ll all die in our sleep or worse burn in hell which has beenprepared by a god who, um, loves us all.

 

So we have some murdererslabeled war criminals because they don’t slaughter in accepted fashion whileothers are said to be committing genocide, which somehow differs from usualmass murder by threatening everyone instead of just all people. People whoallegedly suffered genocide in world war two are now charged with performinggenocide in Palestine/Israel. In both cases thousands were murdered with themurderers convinced they were/are doing the right thing. When the United Statesdropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed 200,000 people wasthat genocide and a war crime? Of course not. American rulers believe themselvesthe real chosen people of god and so teach their subjects. But when Hamaskilled a thousand Israelis this was genocide to some and a war crime whileretaliatory violence, which slaughtered far far far more, is only genocide tosome folks, self-defense to others. And of course rape is simply an economicform of dating with no dinner or movie and getting right to the sex at noexpense. Such thought degeneracy makes war seem logical and necessary toleadership that might find brain cancer a sign of good health.

 

Among the successful divideand conquer strategies carried out by rulers and their servants is theseparation of majorities into minority identity groups, never so dangerous thanat the present. All men supposedly act out power over women but rules of warspare women and children, making killing them an alleged war crime depending onwho is doing the murdering and this proves that men are superior just by beingmen and thus the only ones to be murdered in “legal” slaughter. Of course. Now humanityhas been further divided into racial, sexual, tribal and psychopathologicalgroups making it necessary to extoll the wonders of some minorities whilecarrying destruction of majorities dangerously further than ever.

 

The system of minority rule capitalhelps perpetuate its domination by setting humans against other humans andthereby preventing majority rule in material reality while singing hosannas toit in dreams, prayers and legends. It thus becomes more important to have, say,trans gay Jews of color in positions of responsibility to rulers than to havecooperating people arranging material reality without regard to skin tones,sexual preferences, religions or ethnicity so as best to assure survival andbetter lives for all.

 

Now insane leadership inIsrael joins with insane leadership in America –they’ve been intimately runningthis nation for quite some time – to threaten war on Iran while our continuouswar on Russia that began in 1917 and stopped only briefly so it could play the majorrole in defeating Nazi Germany which America still claims as its heroic triumph.And of course the suffering of America in that war, with the loss of more than400,000 lives, vastly surpassed that of Russia- then the Soviet Union, whichsuffered a measly 25 million dead.  Anynose picking moron mathematician can clearly see the proof in those numbers.The continuous madness of war conducted as some heroic statement of goodnessforced into murder because of evil others has lasted much too long, gone fartoo far, and must be stopped or all of humanity will suffer as millions haveand continue too, but now victims may number in the billions and involve usall.

 

This will further the alreadyhappening mass murder and possibly bring us under control and force the rest ofthe world, led by China, Russia and Iran and followed by a majority of theworld’s people, to join into united action against a failing empire led byincreasingly lunatic forces which threaten all of humanity and not justAmerica.

 

We need to wake up and smellthe bullshit before we wind up eating-drinking-breathing and otherwiseabsorbing even more than we already have, act like a democracy and not justtalk about it, and transform material reality before we are destroyed by itunder the control of lunatics who think private profits in war are what makeshumanity great. One or another near imbecile in the white house won’t make adifference as long as we treat earth as real estate and humans as consumerpeasants. The same market research surveys that lead us to poling places tovote for lesser evils, if at all, find that overwhelming majorities of peoplesupport radical changes to bring better lives to a majority of humanity butstill, at least in America, tolerate overwhelmingly powerful consciousnesscontrol that teaches subservience, obedience and escapism only affordable to ashrinking population of the affluent while great masses sink further into debtand poverty. This, while capital rapes nature in pursuit of profit, which makeshumanities loss more dangerous every day.

 

America doesn’t just need anew president but a new congress and especially newer parties to replace thecapitalist demublicans and republicrat groups which serve different aspects ofthe private profit meat grinder that guarantees minority wealth and growingmajority danger. The availability of potential communications among people viaelectronic means is presently totally dominated by minority wealth and servesthe interest of private property which is sustained by public loss. Thoseelectronic means are far more available than the electoral marketplace andshould be transformed on the way to creation of real democracy before murderoushypocrisy makes it too late for anything but surrender. Victory for humanity isnecessary and achievable and never so possible and there is no time but thepresent to begin that work.
