Socialism in the U.S.?
As the United States struggles under another economic collapse, many citizens weigh the possibility of trying Socialism. The latest attempt at Capitalism modified this time by Milton Friedman’s “monetarism” failed disastrously. Taxpayers will pay trillions of dollars to save the primitive and self-destructive system.
Is Socialism an option? Capitalists would argue that Socialism is a failed economic system, and that it leads to dictatorship as it did in the former Soviet Union. Both responses are wrong, illogical and reflect ignorance of Socialism. The biggest question is: “Are Americans evolved enough to live under Socialism?”
Socialism requires a humanitarian and altruism level far above that of most Americans. Americans today function as Social Darwinists driven by the laws of the jungle. U.S. citizens would need several centuries of evolution before they could function successfully as socialists. That higher level could be accelerated if the U.S. suffered some monumental catastrophe and suffering like the two world wars that Europe experienced. Those wars jolted most European nations out of their goon and thug personalities and rendered them more humane. The United Kingdom, formerly Great Britain, missed the brunt of the war and lags in evolution, but is far ahead of the United States that had no attacks on its soil during those wars.
European nations were able to conquer and colonize most of the world because Europeans were more brutal than anyone else. Coming from the Caucuses Mountains in the Middle East and surviving in the cold, cruel, demanding environment of Europe eliminated all but the most brutish souls. Only the meanest of those savages survived and reproduced. When they discovered something new such as Chinese fireworks, their first reaction was “Can I weaponize this and use it to kill more people?” That the U.S. was the only nation sick and twisted enough to use nuclear weapons to incinerate and radiate women, children and babies was in character with Europeans and their descendents. It’s also not surprising that, during the Cold War, the U.S. was prepared to annihilate life on earth. Only a white male who could convince the American public that he was willing to annihilate life on earth could get elected president. In other words, only an insane person could become president of the U.S. from 1945 to 1991. The only reason there is life on earth today is that the Soviet Union never allowed a Ronald Reagan type person to become leader of the Communist Party.
The U.S. finds itself in a state of limbo drawn irresistibly to the animal world of soulless Capitalism with its selfishness, brutality and bloodthirstiness but needing some degree of Socialism and mass cooperation to survive. In addition, Capitalism can survive only if it has a huge army of brutal, bloodthirsty soldiers to invade nations, kill their people and take their valuable resources. The U.S. produces plenty of mindless young men who are willing to give their lives for corporations such as Halliburton, Bechtel and United Fruit Company just for an opportunity to murder someone. Capitalism produces monsters and monsters need a system like Capitalism as an outlet for their animal urges, rages and behaviors.
