Socialism vs. Capitalism pros and cons
This article is not intended to get into the Nitti gritty details of socialism and capitalism, this article will only skim the surface and give you my personal opinion on the age old debate.
To start I’m against socialism completely I think it’s a backwards way to govern and causes more corruption in the long term then it would good. Although some people look at socialism as way to make things fair I look at socialism as a way to keep rich people rich and keep poor people looking for JOBS. JOBS in my opinion are the reasons why societies FAIL and why many countries cannot and will not grow.
The idea of capitalism the true idea of capitalism is Small business. The fact you have millions of people coming out of colleges and universities looking for JOBS shows me the exact reason why America and other developed nations are on a steady decline. People have fallen for this “work for major corporation idea” many people around the world really think that that’s what it’s all about. This myth is the reason why people have abandoned their creative minds in search of quick wealth.
Instead of creating new ideas people are SELLING their new ideas, and the entity people are selling their ideas to is major corporations. Corporations or the private sector is not supposed to RULE the world that is called Fascism. Why this is important to note is that if corporations have all of the wealth of the world SOCIALISM becomes the perfect tool to keep poor people poor.
What is Fascism – Fascism is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Fascists seek to organize a nation on corporatist perspectives; values; and systems such as the political system and the economy.
What I am saying is once corporations have all the money they start to dictate society. Meaning the corporation(s) become above the law. Does that sound familiar to you it should. A corporation can get away with allot more than you or me can and the closer you get to socialism the more powerful corporations become.
In this modern age the debate the real debate is and always will be Capitalism vs. Communism
Communism although right in theory does NOT translate well into REAL society. Why you ask? Because every person on this planet is different, and frankly put some people do something better than other people do. If a person’s talent is suppressed you will soon see rebellions from every corner. Plus when you take a deep look into communism it makes you wonder why you would need government at all? This bring me to the most important part of this article dealing with Education
Proper Education and Propaganda
The problem we are encountering in Capitalism today is EDUCATION and Propaganda. In order for capitalism to work Education in my opinion should COMPLETELY FREE. Pre-school, middle school/junior high, High School, College and University should all be COMPLETELY free for students, paid for by the tax payer. The only time there should be a charge on education is if your school is PROVEN to be the best School on the planet. My belief is if education is free and paid for by the tax payer our society will get better and prices for things will go down.
Knowledge is POWER and what you don’t know WILL be used against you on this planet. If you choose not to go to school or choose NOT to educate yourself you deserve everything you get in this life. If a child wants to become a doctor this child should not have to PAY to do so, when this happens or when our youth feel like they can’t AFFORD education they wind up doing things they really don’t want to do. This is my only issue with Capitalism at the moment.
For the record I DO NOT believe in Universal health care i believe if we leave our school doors open there will be allot more doctors and as a result prices for health care will inevitable go down, and become much more affordable. That’s how Capitalism works and that’s how you bring prices DOWN in any industry.
Prices for anything when they reach their peak are supposed to come back down to earth when the information about that product is released to the public. When you learn this, Capitalism becomes very fun and a way of life. No one or no company should have something over you. Not when we have planet rich in resources. The fact we have all these educated kids coming out of school and we are still dependent on Saudi Oil shows you or current capitalist system is flawed. When capitalism becomes a problem is when Corporations or corporate powers have TOO MUCH power. If the general population was aware or educated on what or how Corporations work and how they work they would not be able to do what they do. Which are separate people? The balance of power in a capitalistic society is supposed to stay in the hands of small businesses.
I did not say JOBS, Small and medium sized businesses are the driving force of capitalism. Again Small business’s is driving force of capitalism. Yes most businesses fail but none the less it still stimulates the economy especially if the small business is a local one.
It keeps the money within the community you buy local goods from your store which may have been manufactured in your local town, state/province or country and then those business pay taxes which come right back into development of that community. Will some towns or cities grow and be richer then some. YES because the world changes and the cities that keep up with the changes or the cities that most creative when changes occur will have the greatest wealth. Capitalism is supposed to be fun.
Reminder To the reader
As i am writing this i remind the reader to support his or her local businesses and also stay up date when laws are being passed. Each and every city should have a group of people with a MEDIA outlet that can inform their public whenever a law is being passed that can harm or change the community in which they live. A part of capitalism is to stay in race and keep a watchful eye on major corporations. Fascism as described earlier is the corporate government that will destroy capitalism; Fascism is the organization of Corporate powers. Understand fascism will NEVER work but it ALSO has the power if given the power to destroys entire countries, because those countries become dependent on the corporations which in turn hi-jack the government(s) which in turn will do things such as pass laws to benefit the corporation.
How to avoid this is through Education if what i wrote flew over your head please re-read it, or post me a question asking what it is a meant by such and such. I’m not a perfect person but i have a broad understanding of this topic, my views on capitalism are not debatable unless you have a better form of government other capitalism I’m not interested. If your idea on government is to find people JOBS i completely disagree with you, if your idea of government is to pay people in benefits or residual incomes i completely disagree with. I believe in Capitalism and Free Education within Capitalism in a forward moving world we need a forward moving mindset. In short i am a Capitalist who believes that Education is the key to capitalism working PROPERLY. Feel free to leave me any comments questions or suggestions thank you.
Hi,
I understand what you’re saying about free education for all but will limits be set? Are taxpayers suppose to foot the bill for each student’s room and board as well as tuition? What about the degree? Are we suppose to pay for their masters and doctorate degree? Where does it end?
Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and I should have gone into more depth with argument regarding free education. No Taxpayers would only be responsible for educators and the building of schools. course materials, books individuals would responsible for purchasing those items especially on the college levels The point of this process would make it extremely competitive even for the teachers to perform. Where it ends is self sufficiency as well as starting a business. The education system the way I see it should revolve around capitalism, so if a person gets into the trades as example you’d want to push him into self employment so he’s able to see the country for what it is, and contribute to it. The taxpayers would also have more power against teachers unions as the tax payers representatives would have more saying on how their school system is run and who would be qualified to run their school system.
Room and board would be donation based. If an individual chooses to go to school his or her entire life those individuals would be responsible for their own economic survival. There would be no limit set on how long a person could go to school, currently there is no limit set for welfare, the problem with our current welfare model is that there’s no incentive to work.
An argument could even be made that it makes more sense to be on welfare than to work a minimum wage job. This undermines capitalism and gives people NO INCENTIVE to work, if you go to Cuba for example you’ll see a lot of kids who choose not to do anything because they know the GOVERNMENT will take care of them. Our children right now are being groomed from our educational system of a false reality of a valueless monetary system, which is why in 2016 the Federal Reserve and world banks all over the world can go to 0 and negative interest rates, which only benefits the ultra wealthy, and not just the ultra wealthy but the wealthy brokers on wall street that don’t build anything.
Because our current educational system revolves around socialist and fascist ideals children are being groomed via our education system that rich people are this untouchable entity that we the people must serve. Free education that revolves around capitalism will groom our children to see the world for what it really is, which would push individuals to solve problems while preserving liberty and seeking prosperity. Our education system is very important and in my opinion if you don’t want welfare and you don’t want people to have EXCUSES you should make school free. But what I didn’t mention in my article is that our education system should represent our capitalistic ideals When people step foot into a capitalistic society they should understand what capitalism is, how it works, why it works, what socialism and communism are and why the United States leads while other countries follow.
Allow room for debate on issues because if you believe in capitalism and the constitution, it will be obvious to see that socialism and communism
work only in theory and not in practice. In 2016 there’s a man named Bernie Sanders pushing for free education the problem with his model is he’s pushing for free education as a SOCIALIST! Bernie Sanders has no plans in challenging teachers unions or reforming the education system. He’s pushing for a fascist educational system. Free capitalistic education revolves around educating American children about the REAL WORLD! Not coddling them and telling them if something is wrong the government will save you.
No a capitalistic educational system says once you find a problem what are you going to do to solve it while enriching yourself and inviting competition. History has proven the more rich people there are the more they’ll donate and if children are raised in a capitalistic educational system they’ll be problem solvers as opposed to socialistic problem creators. Thanks for question if they’re flaws in my argument please point them out. Again this is only my opinion.
