No' Bamaism

Marxism is the political philosophy and economic practice based upon a materialist interpretation of history, a critical analysis of capitalism, a theory of social change, and an atheist view of human liberation derived from the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; Marxist philosophy is three-fold:

The dialectical and materialist concept of history — A society’s history results from its internal conflicts between social classes (bourgeoisie and proletariat), and among the forces of production (technology, labour, institutions); a society's future derives from the developments resulting from said social conflicts.

The critique of capitalism — In a capitalist society, an economic minority (the bourgeoisie) dominate and exploit the working class (proletariat) majority. Per the labor theory of value, under conditions they do not control, workers produce more output, and create more value, than necessary to meet societal needs; with the surplus value (over-production), the capitalists accumulate more wealth and political power.

The theory of revolution — In a capitalist economy, the workers are alienated because they do not control their labour, thus are alienated from society, from the products they make, and from Nature. The solution is uniting in labour unions and political parties, thereby, the workers assume politico-economic power from the bourgeoisie._Wikipedia

Hmmm,Hmmm,Hmmm, who does this sound like? What about the Berlin Airlift? Anyone remember that, or reading about that? If it wasn't for American Capitalism there would have never been a Berlin Airlift and we may very well have one big Russian country again. During the high point of the Berlin airlift, the US moved more than 45,000 tons of goods in only one week in to Berlin (and with nothing but WWII aircraft). Why? Because the Soviets closed the roads and rail ways.

#1: Last time I checked anyone, and I mean anyone could go out start selling peanuts on the side of the road and make a million. How do you do that? Well you turn one bag into two, two into four, ect... Or you could start a business in your garage or basement. Let's see... Who started in there basement? Locally I know one (that's worth a mill or more), But I also remember him telling long, long ago, "Dave, there was a time in the 70's when the interest rate went to 21%, I owed $100,000 on the business and I didn't even have money to make payroll". His son bought him out and he is the best civ. boss that I have ever worked for. IS he cheap? Hell, yes. One of the cheapest I know, but also the only boss that has ever walked up to me and put cash in my hand and say, "Thanks Dave, going a great job". And the garage, well think of Apple or MS. That's the people who make it in this life!!!!!!!!!!! The ones that sacrifice for themselves and their families. I don't mean sacrificing life, I mean scarifying your life, your time, your goodness for the sake of your family, not the guys out there that are just gang banging shooting each other. For goodness sakes the Army has proved anyone can carry a gun, just look at me :-)..

#2 Under condition that the workers do not control: Hmmmmm, Maybe if we don't like where we work, we leave. Does that make sense? No, we should all punch in at 08:00 start work, take a 10 at 10:00 lunch at noon a 10 at 14:00 and off at 16:30, WOW, Wait I forgot under No'Bama (and the unions) we go in when and if we want to, start work from 10:00 to 10:10, lunch at 11:00 to 14:00, work from 14:00 to 14:10 and off at 16:30. Why am I complaining??? Hell, that's the job that I want. Ohhh, I know, nothing will get done if he has his way.

#3 In a capitalist economy, the workers are alienated: Ok, maybe you are? I have never been. I have always out paced my co-workers. Since the very beginning. I always will, until I die. Maybe that's why I don't feel like someone owes me something. I have always went out and got it for myself. POINT!!!! Make yourself bigger, better, faster, stronger, and more than the others and your boss will take care of you. If you don't want a boss, start a business!!!! When you get there, after a billion sleepless nights, come back and tell me you don't like your boss. It is very hard....
