Capitalism

[basil]

There seems only one way for the UK and indeed Europe to get themselves out of debt.....

Stop buying cheap consumable products from Asia, starting with those shit pile of wank Chinese farking lanterns.

Only looking inwardly and reducing Imports will we ever see our national debt reducing.

This would however require a unified country, A magnanimous population and some good old fashioned hard work from all quarters.

I for one say bring it on! Its time for countries to stand on their own two feet, account for their own population and land.

This may sound a bit harsh but you know what that's LIFE! (and breathe)

Ah, Disciplinarism......

You can waste a lot of time and resources pulling in different directions wouldn't you say???

Now... who to set an example inspirational enough for people to change four centuries of filthy, greedy, power hungry, culture stifling habits????

As for the 2nd question, are you going to enlighten us, oh and by the way what knowledge do you posses of 'four centuries'?....

The march of private enterprise has claimed more lives and erased more cultures then any other single disaster in the history of the human race I would of said (purely opinion of my own).

We've killed off many patriarchal societies with the selfish belief of you can do anything that you want to do when you want to do it.

I know we live in the middle of a dirty great explosion, but can't we show restraint and respect for all elements of the environment we live in.

Capitalism rewards people for taking extra and I'm not so sure this is a healthy state for something as fragile as the human body and mind. It seems to me that the material world we live in will eventually stop us from ever achieving any state of happiness that we all strive for and try to attain from the benefits of the very system we are made to live by...

[John Marwood]

interest rates shall be kept low until the uk debt falls by 40 per cent via weaking currency( inflation currently nearer 8 per cent )

QE just means less for you and me

It all means the majority of us pay for it not those most capeable and any Government forcast you ever hear or read about is simply about decieving the public - You

Just a handy excuse...(In my eyes of coarse!)

Interesting question.
What could the alternative to capitalism be?

Tripartism would initially seem more sustainable than Capitalism

 

[John Marwood]

nothing has lasted longer than trade

Isn't Tripartism a friendly, caring, sharing form of Capitalism rather than an alternative?

I suppose it is, just a lot less driven for power.

I've given you the alternative but you're all too brainwashed to see it. NO ONE has to be in charge, there are plenty of co-operatives out there in which there are no bosses and decisions are made collectively.

But will they give me chocolate?

Until the intractable problem of providing me with chocolate in a world without trade is resolved, i fear i'll have to stick to capitalism.

 

[basil]

Fairtrade choccy is available.......

 

[Gramaisc]

... from the Co-op.

 

[basil]

plus divi........

My understanding is that they want money in exchange for it.

Equitrade chocolate is also available but only from Fortnum & Masons.

What nonsense!

Even co-operatives have someone in charge!

There is no common good, therefore ' collective' decision making cannot 'work'
