(17,301 posts)Capitalism has reached the inevitable destructive stage and there is nothing waiting in the wings to replace it. Many critics of capitalism have warned us that it always ends in disaster. But since Raygun, we allowed the capitalist to devour our country, we allowed the capitalists free reign over our entire American society and now it is on a rampage. It is devouring everything in sight and it will continue until it has left nothing in its wake.
Spying on Americans is just a symptom. Some very rich capitalists are making very big bucks off the spying, that's why Obama allows it, that's why the bushes implemented it. Capitalism works best, for the lucky handful of capitalists, if there is NO democracy, no freedom, no rights of the people. Capitalism works best in tyrannical societies and that's where America is headed unless the people rise up.
300 uber rich capitalists can NOT control 300 million people, if the people do not allow it.
