FOG OF CAPITALISM
Theoretically capitalism will meet the needs of the most people with little to no governmental intervention. FACTually speaking the evidence tells a different story. In “the West” capitalism is equated with democracy and contrary to communism. In reality capitalism and communism are both hierarchical while democracy is not hierarchical. The propaganda about these topics have been profound and is the work of corporate-owned-government-controlled media in a manner that brings to mind fascism.
Capitalistic theory is physically manifesting in disturbing ways—-https://theintercept.com/2022/04/04/amazon-union-living-wage-restrooms-chat-app/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter —AMAZON WILL BLOCK and flag employee posts on a planned internal messaging app that contain keywords pertaining to labor unions, according to internal company documents reviewed by The Intercept. An automatic word monitor would also block a variety of terms that could represent potential critiques of Amazon’s working conditions, like “slave labor,” “prison,” and “plantation,” as well as “restrooms” — presumably related to reports of Amazon employees relieving themselves in bottles to meet punishing quotas.“Our teams are always thinking about new ways to help employees engage with each other,” said Amazon spokesperson Barbara M. Agrait. “This particular program has not been approved yet and may change significantly or even never launch at all.”–end of theintercept info–
As capitalism builds out, Corporate Charter Revocation becomes more relevant. Obsession by government/corporations about minimum wages and the unemployment rate obscure the reality of corporate employment which include but are not limited to—*Censorship if only subtle, of views of the public/worker who fear repercussions from hierarchy*Inculcation of workers into corporate employment rather than individual entrepreneurship*Laws that promote chain business and monopolies over individual proprietorship*Citizens United and www.alec.org that supports a Pyramid-Scheme system*Infinite growth using finite resources, both human and natural, that promote Climate Change
A step toward indentured servitude—– https://portside.org/2022-04-06/starbucks-desperate-stop-unionization-so-its-firing-worker-leaders –Starbucks is favoring a particular method: firing union leaders. Workers at several stores say they have been terminated in retaliation for legally protected union activities. –end of portside info–
Benjamin Franklin advised that the tradesperson (paraphrase) was a key to democracy. A government of, by and for We The People provides democracy the best opportunity of success. Capitalism was not endorsed by any of The Founders, and in FACT was controlled at that time by the Corporate Charter Revocation policy.

We need a CDC that prioritizes the health of the people, not the health of big business. We need a People’s CDC. And so we formed one.—-end of portside info—
Jim Clyburn, reportedly campaign-funded by industry, was instrumental in endorsing Joe Biden, both of whom are supportive of big-money interests in industry, if one considers their policies and legislation. We need a government of, by and for The People. The actions of one individual defied the voices of millions of supporters of Bernie Sanders. This isn’t a free and fair electoral process, but is dictatorial. Lessons taken from the Former Soviet Union, one may imagine.
Just as inordinate and arrogant intervention made a difference in the 2020 Presidential election, so was intervention from the Supreme Court instrumental not only in “The War in Iraq” but also in undermining the Climate Reality Presidential candidate Al Gore so many years ago——https://www.climaterealityproject.org/?ms=SECdisclosuresEmail1T0422&emci=21e07166-09b6-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=f642589d-86b6-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=1647225&utm_source=advocacy&utm_campaign=secdisclosures&utm_medium=email&utm_content=SECdisclosures-email-1-T –Join the Climate Reality Leadership Corps of activists and learn how by attending a future Climate Reality Leader training led by Al Gore and a team of world-renowned scientists, activists, innovators, and more.–end of climatereality info—————Everyone is invited to do their part in human and natural survival, if an invitation is required.

The Ukraine/Russia War in which fascism seems deeply involved as it is softened under the label of “Western values” seems similar to crime-family disputes. Oligarchs too often profit from these wars at the expense of local communities and nature. Consider 2 styles of crime-family dispute—-
Example 1–https://countercurrents.org/2022/04/ukraine-update-enormous-economic-repercussions-for-the-world-warns-u-s-treasury-secretary/ –The Ukraine conflict will have “enormous economic repercussions in Ukraine and beyond.” This was warned by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in a House panel Wednesday. She added that the rising price of energy, metal, wheat and corn that Russia and Ukraine produce “is going to escalate inflationary pressures as well.”–end of countercurrents info–
Example 2 –https://moguldom.com/402707/the-sacramento-shooting-where-bullets-hit-18-people-wasnt-a-mass-shooting-it-was-a-battle-between-gangs/ –A mass shooting in downtown Sacramento at 2 a.m. on April 3 that left six people dead and 12 people wounded may have been a shootout between rival gangs involving at least five shooters, police said.–end ofmoguldom info–
Some people who recognize patriarchy, a war mindset, and The Military-Industrial Complex as antithetical to peace, nature and humanity, have decried war as a solution in most instances. One problem is what is called “the fog of war”, in which diabolical actions can be attributed devoid of evidence—–https://mronline.org/2022/04/06/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre-warning-graphic-images/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre-warning-graphic-images&mc_cid=588796d33b&mc_eid=2833cdb99b –The Bucha incident is a critical moment in the war. An impartial investigation is warranted, which probably only the U.N. could conduct. The Azov Battalion may have perpetrated revenge killings against Russian collaborators, or the Russians carried out this massacre. (Once again the Pentagon is dampening the war hysteria, saying it can’t confirm or deny Russia was responsible.)–end of mronline info–
While the Pentagon can’t confirm or deny Russia was responsible, corporate-owned-government-run media pronounce Russia as the perpetrator. We need and don’t have a Free Press.
Some people see war as the theatrical spectacle from oligarchs to distract the public away from their game of Pyramid-Scheme economy—- https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/04/06/on-bucha-and-the-chechen-connection/ –The latest developments:– What to make of the Bucha massacre evidence

Meanwhile oligarchical sycophants maintain the responsibility to be Russia. The responsibility may or may not be Russia. Shouldn’t FACTS be uncovered and dots connected before said sycophants report this over news shows?

7:50AM–guest Representative Correa–paraphrase–US needs to lead by example. (A point seems reasonable that the US is leading by example but not according to norms of a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic. Fascism seems interestingly usurping said principles.)8:45AM–guest McClintock–paraphrase–Dem’s oppose e-verify while Rep’s support it. (This offhand remark flies in the face of the Trump Administration business history)8:50AM–guest McClintock–paraphrase–Shocking what Dem’s have done to the economy and the effects of inflation. (This statement seems to confuse when one considers that open borders dramatically diminish wages that would reduce inflation if the reality of corporate exploitation wasn’t a FACT).
In other words, the Democratic/Republican duopoly function as anticipated in our Pyramid-Scheme economy. This is a reason an American can go into government service as a veritable pauper and come out a millionaire.
The functions of family of both branches of the Republican/Democratic duopoly are open to questioning, if we had an ethics-based governance.

The frenetic pace of industrialized business practice serves several functions—*Profiteering is more intense*Separates workers from emotions to enable robotic control of a workforce*Much-vaunted competition in capitalism is expected from human beings that creates a hostile work environment rather than one of cooperation. This enhances hierarchical profit
To return to the tradesperson concept of Benjamin Franklin, democracy works best without a hierarchical culture. More importantly, human society thrives.
