The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 3) - Day 306
The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 2) - Day 305
This is a continuation to my Previous blog: The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 1) - Day 304 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 exists 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 the poor under capitalism?
As for poverty, under capitalism, no poor man is prohibited from creating a fortune — observe that in late 19th century and early twentieth century America how hundreds of really “poor” immigrants, who could not even speak a word of English, came to America and within a generation were America’s newest elite — and they did it without the government on their backs, or on the backs of others. Even today, in semi-free America, many such immigrants come here starting with nothing and create fortunes — though this is a rarer occurrence due to the vast weight of the volumes of incoherent and irrational regulations that punish those who have an urgent need to accumulate capital (the poor).
Your question accepts the collectivist premise that wealth is a static quantity owned by that amorphous super-organism the “collective” to be looted from those individuals who create it. The “poor” don’t need government handouts — they need government off their backs and most importantly off the backs of those who can really help them — the “rich".”
The Example given with the Immigrants coming in late 19th is a Psychology Tactic to make one accept and allow one's abdication of Responsibility from the perspective of believing that all have an Equal opportunities to sustain a life in this world while, the Science behind the answer clearly reveal that in this current world system, there are no Equal Opportunities to Sustain a Life that is actually worthwhile.
I suggest watching the Documentary: Why Poverty - 740 Park Avenue where they brought the Dimension of the Monopoly Game research within its relationship to Poverty. The Research shows that those that comes later to the game, stand no change because by the time they entered the game, all the property was already owned by others and in essence, the ones coming to the game later are coming as the slave of those who came first since no matter where they end up at, they have to pay fee to the owners. The same principle exists within this current capitalistic world system wherein, if your family doesn't own property and have money, your chances to make it in this world are not so great. It also implies that the next generation to come, will enter a world that everything is already owned and unless one has sound financial foundation to start their life with, they will stand no chance.
Thus, giving the Example of the 19th century is a manipulative way to make one believe that: oh no worries, everything is fine because it's not that the poor don't have a chance in life, they do, look at the immigrant that came in late 19th, they made it and they had nothing and now they do.
Now, with regards to the following statement:
The “poor” don’t need government handouts — they need government off their backs and most importantly off the backs of those who can really help them — the “rich.”
As I've shown in the blog series I did about Charity and Poverty, shifting the responsibility form the Governments to Private corporations or Individuals, within the hope that they would take care of the Problems created by this world system is not the solution but rather a way to perpetuate the problem existent in this world.
The reason such a statement/answer is given is to ensure and protect the money one has and to have the least regulation and revision possible. To understand the why and how, I suggest reading through the blogs:

The Solution for Charity and Philanthropy in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 301
Understanding Poverty and Charity is a Key for a Practical Solution - Day 302
The solution:
Obviously the solution is to Eradicate the Problems and later apply the Principle of 'Prevention is the best Cure'. The solution is to study the world system, to get to know how it functions, what are the forces involved, what is behind the promoted hidden psychology we all so easily fall into and of course, why it is that we are so easily fall into the trap.
I suggest to start with the Century of the Self by Adam Curtis to have a better Idea how we have been brainwashed into a walking robots that stand as the slaves of the Elite without even being aware of it. it is only through a process of self education and self change that changing and preventing the abuse in this world system can be done; it is only through taking the responsibility we have as Life, to investigate all things and keep that which is good; it is only through Education that we can take our power back to ourselves in understanding the root cause of the problems and accordingly, walk the corrective application to bring about a world that is best for all where the Value of Life is being Honoured to its ultimate degree.
The Reward
As I've mentioned in my Previous blog:
Imagine a life where the Fear of Survival will only be existent in the History books.. Imagine a life where one is no longer require to fight day and night to bring food on the table.. Imagine a life where you can actually be with your children and watch them grow, instead of having to be at work for 15 hours a day while others take care of your kids in the best case scenario.. Imagine a Life where you no longer afraid that someone would steal something you own because everyone will have what you have.. Imagine a life that can be actually Lived!
With the Equal Money System, you can stop imagining but instead, live the life you always dreamt of.
I mean seriously now - once you go through the Equal Money System proposal, you wouldn't believe how is it possible that we didn't think about this solution sooner. So do your research and let's work together to manifest a system that would benefit us all.
Process of Economic Self-Education - Day 271
I have B.A in Business Finance. What does it means? NOTHING. Until recently, I had no Clue regarding the TRUE Economy, the Forces involved behind the Scenes of the World Economy System and the specificity of the Consequences that had manifested. I worked in the Capital Market, I was trading with Large of Money and later on, I was managing the Monies of the Israeli Elite. And yet, I had no Clue whatsoever about the REAL and NASTY Truth. Nothing that I learned in the University prepared me for what I have found recently in my initiative to truly educate myself. What I did learn was how to make the Rich richer and the Poor Poorer without me knowing that I'm actually doing it.
I've been asking myself for years why Poverty exists in this world and I couldn't find the answer. However, I asked the Question from the starting point of self interest as If I actually care about the people that live under great life restriction with no chance to ever 'win' in this game of survival that we call 'Earth'.
I never really wanted to find out the answer because if I would, I would have done what I'm doing now - Real Life Self-Education through the Material that is available on the Internet. I made many excuses and justification such as: "I don't have time for this, I have other important stuff to do" or: "I won't understand anyway because I'm lacking with lots of background in formation so what's the point". I've tried many times to "Push" myself and educate myself and yet, each time I found another excuse and justification for why I can't do this right now.
It was really only recently that I took on this point for myself and started educating myself regarding the Forces that shape, mould and manipulate the world into it's current existence. It was only recently that I've realized that the fact that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to educate myself about the actuality of this world, places me in a position of an Abuser of Life because I have done nothing to in fact change what I saw that must be corrected and changed. I mean, how can I possibly change something if I do not understand the Mechanics of it, the relationships it involved and how it works and functions? this I why I've realized that I'm directly responsible for this current manifestation of this world because I could have start educating myself long time ago since I have the resources and means and yet, I haven't. I always made sure that I be safe in this world, which all my needs are taken care of.
Like with Everything, change start with self and so, I committed myself to watch at least 5 documentary per week and I walked through the resistance of actually educate myself regarding the Economic History of Human civilization that evolved to where we are now so that could understand the core/origin/source of the problem in specificity which from there, I could walk towards a solution that is best for all Lives.
What I have found within and as myself was an experience of depression, shame, guilt, frustration, powerlessness and limitation after watching documentaries. Like a giving up almost within the profound belief that it is already too late and there is no chance that a change would ever be possible on earth as the forces that control and govern this world are too strong to ever allow a change that would place them in an Equal position like anyone else. That belief in itself is the key of why no one in fact stood up thus far and called for encompassing solution for this world. We blindly accept the inequality system as it is, no matter which side of the coin we are at.
When I was looking at my own experience of Depression, Shame, Guilt, Frustration and Powerlessness, I found that I have the tools to assist and support myself to stand up from these mind experiences, forgive myself and move on towards a solution because there is a solution and it is up to me to stand up for it.
Yes, there is 1% of the 1% of the Elite of this world that would do what ever is possible to stop me and the movement I stand as and for however - what I had to remind myself is that there is 99% that can be much more powerful than any MONEY and POWER that would sabotage the change. The question is - will we stand up together? Again, I see that it is up to me and those who are walking with me, to gather the 99% together through sharing our realization and keep on educating ourselves and make a stand together - if I give up, I cannot expect any change in this world because literally, the Equality Equation is very simple Equation: 1+1=2.
Thus, I will walk in the next blogs to come a few realizations that I had while watching documentaries and expanding my awareness regarding this world.
