The fix of American capitalism

Where those in power with the most money limit innovation with violence death intimidation and actively distracting from innovation progress cannot be made if cures are found new tech developed or easier ways discovered only for the innovators (usually the next generation) only to be killed/silenced in the name of maintaining those already established's control. Therefore limits must be set on long standing capitalists or the aristocracy will continue to dominate the allegedly "free" market. So I support local small and new enterprise and capital. Overthrow the old build up the new! Happy spring!!

Monopolies and centralisation of power within the capitalist class is how capitalism works and if the market would be completly free this would only get worse. If we were to overthrow the capitalist class and keep capitalism another Bourgeoisie would form itself and we are in the same position.
Radical wealth redistribution in form of infrastructure, healthcare, ... is the only way to go. Preventing individuals from accumulating huge amounts of wealth by simply owning capital.

@Gloomy You always talk like something out of a textbook.

@revenant How else am I supposed to word it and no it is not out of a textbook simple analysis of how things are and should play out.

@Gloomy You ought to find your own voice and not merely regurgitate what another is dictating.
Gloomy · F
@revenant I do have my own voice but given this is my second language It only makes sense to use terms and parts of ideas that I have read in english and use them in my own writing.

I have never read an original thought of you or any well thoughtout argument. You replicate conservative talking points and talk trash. Annoying, unoriginal yet infuriating at the same time like a mosquito.

@revenant also we are all socialised in a certain society and then we all have different environments. We don't live in a vacuum therefore most of our own thoughts and feelings or positions are influenced by others

@Gloomy It is mine also. Have you not been taught at school to write essays and work at them in " your own words " ?
revenant · F
@Gloomy is that the excuse they give you ? Just repeat like some automaton ? do not you have any individuality ?
Gloomy · F
@revenant of course you piece of shit and what I have written were my own words
Gloomy · F
@revenant who are "they"? 🤔
revenant · F
@Gloomy of course I am a piece of shit in your eyes and thank you for the compliment.
Gloomy · F
@revenant 😌 You're welcome
revenant · F
@Gloomy those were not your words.
Gloomy · F
@revenant The words yes the idea shared by many.
Also words don't belong to anyone the way you use them creates ones own writing style

@Gloomy yeah right. You are all automatons and you like it that way 😏

@Gloomy my point is capitalism has reach the point of keep making the rich money or make progress to eliminate the need to spend that money. So when the wealth accumulate is oppressing progress is that when we have to initiate limits of wealth?
Gloomy · F
@exchrist I wouldn't even call it limiting wealth in general since the working people be it factory workers producing things or the people inventing and educating themselves to come up with new ideas are the ones that are producing the wealth.
Instead of this wealth being stolen by the people at the top, a part of it should be given back to the people creating it, another part of it should be put back into the system to fund progress, to fund infrastructure and to fund social projects.
Preventing few people from controlling and stealing most of the profit and just redirecting and redistributing it to the people who have created it would keep our system going forward.

@Gloomy I agree that societal provisioning would definitely alleviate the problem. My objection is a cure for cancer was found the person that discovered it was killed within 2 weeks. That scenario just keeps happening. So how do we stop obviously illegal retaliation by ppl with so much they just pay some ppl off and it goes away.
Gloomy · F
@exchrist By making sure there are no more few people in control of let's say pharmaceutical companies. Making it more democratic which would lead to slower decision making sometimes but also more control and less corruption especially when those people don't earn insanely high wages.
A cure for cancer should result in healthier people and not in few people becoming rich through selling it.

To put it more direct we need a complete reshaping of our economy.

@Gloomy we are on the same page but actually getting it done is proving difficult and gets the non rich murdered instead. Some of whom have been my offspring
Gloomy · F
@exchrist unfortunately so. Transforming it slowly would give the opposition too much time to prevent it and leading an armed conflict would lead to so many variables that could go very wrong.
