War on Capitalism in full swing

The slave owners in our current society are the large Corporations. They pull the strings of the government to ensure that they keep power over the lower and middle class. The owners of the large corporations fight to ensure that it is very difficult for certain elements to break free from the shackles of their power.
certainty there are things that make one more free from Corporate power, the biggest of which are generational money and education. This is why our educational system is set up so that it is very difficult to get a good primary education without an educated parent or a wealthy parent. Its possible, but the masses cant/don't do it, so the Corporations are supplied with a steady flow of slave labor. Sure we could educate everyone regardless of who there parents are or what type of parents they have, but we wont.

We are talking about SOCIALISM. They were run socialist style. The tribes were all self sufficient. If you want to talk about democratic socialism, then look no further then the early Christian Church.
To get the Democracy part to work would require strict limits on campaign donations and some good people interested in being leaders. It would also require a better educated electorate.
I like your post, but I fear the transition is going to be a bit more complicated than that, dammit!

Exactly. In Capitalism, information is bought and sold, and information is given to the highest bidders, which are usually the wealthy. Many people have encountered financial ruin trying to attain that information.
In socialism, information is shared, making information more available and thus progress more available. Thanks to the internet, information is shared and the rich don't like it and have been trying to regulate it for maximum profit, but thank goodness the people will not allow them to go that far.
This system is rigged to aid the wealthy and keep everyone else enslaved.

True but there would always be back room deals, so that is not a feasible fix. And even good people can be corrupted by power.....

Did you read my post about global debt relief and one world currency, a global fed(run by the people, not private investors), where inflation, interest and taxes would be a thing of the past?

Capitalism is like this...... Here we have an apple tree in a garden. And ten people eating from it. One of them decides to conquer the Apple tree. Now if you want to eat of the apple tree? You have to pay him or do favors for him. If not? You starve.
Capitalism is about giving resources to the highest bidder. Rather then the one who needs it the most.
See the movie the Titanic? The rich people, rather then giving the life boats to women and children, bribed their way onto the life boats.
Here is another metaphor of a capitalist.

The question is how you replace a class prepared to destroy humanity rather than lose a single penny.
I am currently reading Eugene V. Debs Speaks (1977). And I wish I could believe you. But sadly all of this has been said before and the whole edifice which seemed to have some momentum only from about 1901 to about 1912 when Debs polled nearly a million votes as a Socialist on the national presidential ballot has never been as strong as it was then. There are many reasons why it wasn't but today I think it is nearly impossible to generate anything like that kinds of fervor among the masses of Americans who try as they might just don't care one way or the other. Only a little over half the people eligible to vote, vote in Presidential elections. And other elections are even worse, making us one of the most dreadful countries in the world for participation. So I don't think that the current climate really demonstrates that the end is near; if anything it is more like the need for mass education has never been greater!
No. I didn't; but it sounds enticing if only from a mythological standpoint.
All this, you know, is just a result of McCarthy, who got a whole generation so shit-scared that they prevented their descendants knowing their arse from their elbow. It comes of taking bullies seriously.
Socialism is working pretty good in france
Does everyone want to be a thieving shite? Who whines except thieving shites criticised?
Working class in charge there, hey?

Was it me?
When did you become such a brainless neocon desh? Capitalism is not synonymous with trade. Capitalism is strictly the insane institution of fiat currency, money created out of thin air. This slave system of currency guarantees totalitarianism.
And there are no honest brokers in a fiat currency system. There are only liars.

The capitalist propaganda machine is massive. And they have many outlets to promote it. Schools, media, etc.... Though you are correct. The only way to tear down the veil so the people can see what is REALLY going on, is to educate them via posts like mine.
