A few days ago I wrote a little
piece about the rising poverty in America, since then I read a post
that listed 50 things wrong with America and it gives a wider range
of the problems in that country. It must be increasingly difficult
for those who advocate capitalism, to point to a success story as
country after country under capitalism hits the rocks. Even in the so
called leader of the capitalist world, the pinnacle of capitalist
development, America, its citizens are facing poverty and deprivation.
Of course we have always known that capitalism is a success story for
the few, and today it still continues to be a success story for them.
Unfortunately it was, by means of smoke and mirrors, sold under the
illusion of prosperity for all, and now all those that produce that
wealth are seeing the reality as the smoke starts to clear, and the
mirrors crack. That reality is that the few parasites will continue
to do all right, while those that produce the wealth will see
deprivation staring them in the face. Recognise it, it is the true
face of capitalism.
