Socialism and Social Activistists

Now, to think that I could sit here and elaborate on such a broad topic as I have chosen for this title is giving myself way too much credit and not understanding that broad topics are infinite in matter. We ALL believe different things and think differently.

To think socialism is all wrong is either ignorant or arrogant. But most in a middle class society and higher have chosen to take such views that were hand fed by propaganda, whether government or corporation or other interest based. There is nothing wrong with everyone in a society not living under a set of standards, and to disagree is inhuman, but in America, widely accepted. We already have many systems set up to assist the poor and diseased in this society, so how far are we from a socialist world in America can we say we have become. At least in socialism there is an all encompassing work force, which, yes, there would be the non-workers, as there are now. But at least there are the positions, jobs, to accommodate the many that are job-less. Workers would feel slighted, as they do now, that about at the very least 30% of a taxed position is to feed those who don't feel like working. Obviously, there is some sarcasm, as there are the lazy, but there are also the less fortunate.

Well, we (I) can bitch all I want, but that will do none the less to add to the trillions of words that are spoken/written/and thought on the subject of personal macroeconomics. We(most of us, as 1% have 95% of the wealth in our world) are born as slaves. And I hate to add that as most in America put the connotation of slavery as in African American slaves, but what is failed to point out because there were many problems in the founding of this country that were very race related, is that white Europeans held the wealth, so they held the power, and the ease to enslave.

But I put slavery in a more broad sense, not a racist or derogatory terming, but we are no more paid workers than we are slaves. We, with the exception of those who cheat and live under the system, but we are slaves that decide to work with the system. Slaves that do have a higher standard of living, a guarantee for food and shelter, and the like. But slaves as there is no choice, we must work and after our education is complete, we must spend a majority of our waking moments at positions that are not pleasing nor fulfilling. Not the American dream that was the fiction we were so happily told. Slaves to a system, slaves to a government.

So, here is where I have turned my head in past writings, for hopes that I may be some famous published (secular) writer, that God has called us to this world, which He knew was broken. So, we as people, Christian and non-believer alike, are called here to be slaves. And luckily in America, you can chose a lower standard of living and not work as you were intended too, which obviously hurts your being, but also harms the whole in which we all reside. But God has called us to be His slaves, and to be the world's slaves.

So, I do not know where my writings head, but I pray and hope, I can write with more heavenly influence, that I may not perpetuate a system that I can neither buy out of or demolish, but unearth some Godly ideas for a broken system.

We are social, so to put negative connotations on a system such as socialism is entirely contradictory and blasphemy on our very nature. But it is also America, because we, downwards and upwards of the economy, are mainly a prideful greedy and self serving community.

So, how is this a community? It is not, it is a broken community, because self-serving and community are entirely contradictory and incorrect in manner. But nevertheless, that is what we are and have become.

So, where does this end? In education, in activism, in charity, in us.
