ALL HAIL CAPITALISM

[reverendjeremiah]

Good thing I believe everyone is the same regardless of color, religion or where your born. Because if I didn't you would have lots of problems of violence with me. Because I cannot and will not forget.

I got an idea of how frustrating it can be for you right now John. Just remember that there are some people out there that see beyond the stupid, racist, hateful, greedy shit of this country and actually see you as a human being, instead of just a skin color.

I have to remind myself that from time to time...of course, being white I automatically get the benefit of the doubt to most Americans. I find that to be bullshit. Most of the people who have ever hurt me physically and financially were white.

I see you as an equal, deserving of an equal share of the pie. You and your children deserve the same benefits as the richest people in this country have...and I deserve them as well. I dont want the world to be color blind. I want them to realize its just a pigment that nobody has a choice about, and there is a human not unlike yourself with hopes and dreams and fears about life and death under that pigment.

This is one of the greatest benefits of socialism that you NEVER hear Americans bring up. Socialists clearly are NOT racist, where as capitalism has had long history spanning centuries of time encouraging racism, slavery, sexism, and anything else they can think of to ulevel the playing field even more...as if capitalism doesnt already unlevel it enough.

Socialists want an even playing field and hard core capitalists DISPISE that notion....I am a socialist. But living in the American south I have to be VERY careful of who I let that information out to.

You can't trust corporations with anything. They only exist to make profit, and that is all they care about. Private prisons is a horrible idea...and I bet they aren't even regulated that well. I bet they make the prisoners work as slave labour as well. I only spent a couple of weeks in prison, but it was horrible enough already as a public institution!

Who bets the parole board would also be run by the company? They'd just love to keep people in jail and away from their loved ones, simply because they are making money off other people's misery.

Liberals distrust corporations but trust government

Conservatives distrust government but trust corporations

Anarchists realize that corporations and government are the same thing, therefore neither can be trusted.
