Capitalism revealed

The goal state, or end state, of Capitalism is the total destruction of the society that supports this economic relationship.  Capitalism is the accumulation of capital resources by a group of people who are not ultimately personally liable for the outcome of their decisions.  The goal of this organization is the trade and exchange capital with other economic entities in order to try to accumulate as much capital wealth as possible.  The goal state is the creation of economic entities that are enormous by any human conception of wealth. Eventually one single entity will control all wealth on Earth, and instead of providing economic freedom and security to all its employees, it will have all humans trapped in perpetual enslavement by its laws and obligations.

And today these economic entities are considered by the legal system as individual persons, but they can never be sent to jail.  This legal trick, prevents the few people who benefit from this exploitation from ever being responsible for the decisions they make; and the actions that the company performs.  The company pays with a fine, and they get a golden parachute to retire.

Detroit, Michigan would be a good example.  In the 1960's Detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in the USA.  Presently in 2016, seventy five percent of the single family homes are abandoned or destroyed.  This is almost entirely due to the automotive industry closing factories and moving to other locations.  Three quarters of the lives in Detroit were willfully destroyed by the actions of the auto industry.  This was a force that was out of their control and beyond the ability of those people to deal with.  There were no effective government protections for these people and these destroyed communities.  And yet, no one was punished.  The few people who profited economically were rewarded for their decisions and they are gone.  They never really lived in Detroit anyway.

This is the future of America and the future of the World if we continue to embrace corporate capitalism in the form that it has existed until this point in time.   Already we see the infra structure decaying and we see the disparity of wealth increasing.  There is a permanent homeless camp on the traffic island in my community.  The quality of life is declining while the wealth of the corporate owners still grows.  Is this the world that we want to live in?

You decide.  It is not up to me.  The choice is yours.
