The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 4) - Day 307

This is a continuation to my Previous blogs:

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 1) - Day 304

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 2) - Day 305

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 3) - Day 306

 

Maya H (3)Where I mentioned that we are going to:

have a look at the Principles the Current Capitalistic System is based on and how the Current Capitalistic System that Promote abuse in this world had been advertised and "sold" for us to accept and allow the system without ever questioning its validity.

For this, we will look at the Questions and Answers published on the website - Capitalism.org to show the Problems that currently exist and accordingly, present solutions to correct the Manifested consequences and the Rewards of implementing the Equal Money Capitalism System.

 

Within this blog, we are going to look at the following Question and Answer:

 

The Problem

 

"What of those who cannot truly help themselves?

The few individuals in a capitalist society who are incapable of taking care of themselves — such as the retarded, crippled, and orphans (which are a small and tiny minority in any free country) — are provided for through voluntary means, i.e., private charity."

 

See, here is another example of the Status Queue we have accepted and allowed within and as this world. If we look at the design of Orphans and why Orphans exists is in most cases a direct connection and relationship with the inability to afford the life of the child and therefor, the parents that have no substantial support in this world, would rather give up their child within the hope they would receive a better opportunity in their life than keeping the child, knowing the life the child would have.

So what have we done within the Capitalistic System? Instead of making sure that we all take Equal Responsibility for each and every child in this world and thus, decide upon a system that would support a life of each human being from birth till death, we shifted the responsibility towards Volunteers and Private Charity and Excused ourselves from our Responsibility towards and of Life.

 

In my Previous blog Series with regards to Charity, I've shown in detail why and how Charity is in no way the solution and yet, it is promoted and advertised as a 'Good' thing without realizing it is THE thing that perpetuate the world's problem because it provide a back door for us to not take responsibility and change the world system to a system that consider, respect, protect and honour all Life Equally.

 

So instead of Questioning why the Design of Orphans exists in this world and within that, why we have accepted and allowed it to manifest to begin with, we cover up the problem with Charities and Donations without looking for a solution that would Eradicate the existent of Orphan children where each child will grow up in a cared and caressed environment with a parent to look up for the child. It is Doable - in an Equal Money System.

 

Now, with regards to the Question and Answer above - is another example of how such an important question is NOT being answered in absolute detail and specificity. For starter, there are MANY human beings that truly cannot help themselves in this world and that include not only the 7 Billion people that lives under 2$ per day but also the Elderly Human Being in this world that are dependent on social security or on their families if they are lucky, to take care of them. Most of them, if they do not have the funds to be able to live in a private elderly institutions, finds themselves in their death beds in the most crucial and outrageous condition no human being should experience. That again, can only exists within a system that is based on Inequality, Inhumanity and Disrespect for Life such as the Current Capitalistic System as it exists now.

 

Obviously, this topic is not to be disregarded and dismissed but rather, take into absolute consideration and accordingly, we must walk towards unconditionally solution that would prevent one from not being able to help themselves due to the unacceptable world system we exists within and as.

 

The Solution

 

First and foremost - we must do our research to understand the extent of the Problem presented in the Question:

"What of those who cannot truly help themselves?" and in this, to understand the core/root/cause of the problem so that from there, we could come up with a practical solutions for each and every individual case.

 

In General, within an Equal Money System, where each human being is taken cared for, from birth till Death, the problem as it is exists today would decrease dramatically. However, that is not the absolute solution since the problem is multidimensional problem that individual solutions must be established in making sure we Prevent the problem from reoccurring again.

When the time comes, I will walk in detail each and every aspect mentioned in this blog to reveal the Current problems and the specific Solution that can practically be applied within an Equal Money System.

 

The Reward

 

Place yourself in the shoes of the parents that have to give up their child because they  cannot give the child the life every child should have. Now, Place yourself in the Shoes a 6 months pregnant mother that knows she must give up her child and imagine her Experience. However now, tell this Mother that the World System had changed and she is now supported, as well as her child for the rest of her life - Imagine her Experience when realizing she is no longer living a life of Survival and can actually Live a life that is worthwhile. Can you see the Reward now?

Charities - Exposing the Problems - Continues - Day 296

 

This is a continuation to:

Charities - Exposing the Problems - Day 295

Charity and Activism - why is it a Capitalistic Scheme - Part 1 - Day 294

 

Problem No.3

PR in Disguise

 

I was watching today the Documentary - Why Poverty - Give us the Money where it primarily shows how Celebrities have used their power to become the voices of Poverty in this world and specifically Bob Geldof and Bono which I see their standing to be Genuine and not a PR point they are taking advantage of like many other celebrities which I will be revealed in my next blog.

 

In the Documentary, they showed how the Celebrities were able to go high in the chain of Power and get them to agree to 'Forgiveness Debt' in Africa. Forgiveness Debt within the Context of this world system of greed, power and Control is not really a solution but rather a 'charity act' or shell we say a PR act of the World's leader. Why?

 

The Debt Africa has to the US is not even real; if you have read 'Confession of the Economical Hitman' book, you would be able to understand how debt of developing countries to the US were created, how it was manipulated into a complete dependency of the Developing countries on the US and why "Helping" Developing countries from the US perspective is nothing Genuine but rather, excuses to take over and control the developing countries natural resources. 

 

So within that context, Debt Forgiveness of Africa, is an act of deleting a Number from a paper that was never real to result with an outcome of Good PR. A real Forgiveness Debt is what the Equal Money System is all about - Eradicating all DEBT but also, restructuring the countries in developing schools, health centres, Water purification, jobs creation and so forth. Deleting debt without making sure the country is able to self sustain itself isn't the solution and it has been proven with Africa/America relationship.

 

Same thing with Charities - Giving Money to the Poor may be a very short temporary solution but it is in no way going to eradicate poverty to its ultimate encompassing solution. I mean, Commonsensically -

Let's say a homeless has a million Dollar worth of debt in the bank, and let's say we forgave him for his debt. Is this homeless life is going to change in anyway? No - he still doesn't have a place to live, food to eat, health care or access to education to be able to get a skill that would enable him to have a job. Therefor, as time passes by, the homeless will create a new debt to be able to feed himself.

 

This is why, forgiving Africa's debt will not change anything but prolong the suffering of many that has no real opportunity to be and become something in this world and if anything, Africa's debt will continue to grow exactly as I showed with the homeless analogy.

 

An Encompassing Solution is quite easy to implement as I would show you in a few blogs to come, after I show all the major problems within and as the concept of Charity and Philanthropy.
