By saying it is the best system, that sort of encourages people to do nothing to improve it, doesn't it? Why do you work? You work to get money, to buy things? Alright then, so what is money? Paper. What gives money its value? Today, nothing really other than millions of people like you thinking that it has value. Previously, paper money was given its value being backed by gold or silver. In fact, you were once able to trade paper for its equivalent in gold or silver. Today, paper money is simply what they call legal tender that can only be exchanged for other legal tender. How is that good? Since it has no backing, and those who control money are not audited and not held accountable for anything (prove me wrong), isn't it easy to understand how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
People think the prices of everything fluctuate. Really, who determines the so-called value of sand, or paper, or any -thing- that is simply an arrangement of matter that came from somewhere? Sure, the supposed value varies based on supply and demand - that is one economic term so widely repeated. For someone to imply value, they need first to imply ownership of the thing in question. How can one imply ownership? How can you own a grain of sand, a drop of water, AIR, trees etc? Everything is just rearrangements of things already existing on the planet. Who says it's OURS to begin with? It's a system founded on very selfish thinking. Of course, one likes to be rewarded for one's efforts and one's time - that is obviously understandable. Why not work for ourselves and each other? How is slaving away for a greedy corporation BETTER than working for yourself and people around you, seeing the benefit of your time every day?
However... Why don't you think further? People, or groups of people, or events and circumstances determine value of things to a certain extent. How come nobody considers the value of money in relation to the things they buy with it? How come nobody seems to realize that as the value of money decreases, the prices of things seem to increase? The prices are not increasing, it just takes more money to buy the same thing of same value because the value of your money is less! But really, ther was no value to begin with. It is however convenient (for those in control) for you to believe it has value.
Why is it that you have to work longer to purchase the same goods? Just as importantly, why do you think this is OK? Do you think that these fluctuations affects the filthy rich? Of course not! So why doesn't it piss you off then?
I shouldn't have said that paper currency has no backing, that's not 100% true. The U.S. Dollar is backed by oil instead of gold, but it's still a deception because first of all they don't talk about that, and second of all you can't trade your dollar for the equivalent amount of oil. Well you can, but you're being ripped off as the end user, or the consumer, or the lowest schmuck on the pyramid scheme, ladder, whatever you wanna call it. I like pyramid scheme, cause that really is an accurate description of society.
Anyways... why is it that countries globally need to buy depreciating U.S. Dollars to buy and trade oil? Why can't any country trade whatever it wants in whatever currency it wants? They make up these ridiculous stories (ie, propaganda) to make people believe really silly things as some kind of justification for what they're doing...
If money didn't exist, none of the bullshiat associated with money would exist either. Those in power love to talk about the law too, that's even funnier because of one simple thing. Have you ever heard of a criminal that follows the law? Why is it that if you start a corporation, you can be audited... yet the U.S. Federal Reserve is never audited? Why is it that there is political scandal over and over? Nobody is held accountable for their actions, yet YOU as a petty citizen ARE held accountable for the most MENIAL things? Sorry, but if you told someone not to do something, they would be pissed off if they saw you doing the same thing. It really is that simple.
A system that is hypocritical will not create good (maybe it will sometimes create the illusion of good though).
What about education? Why isn't it free? Why isn't there a single word about "critical thinking" in early stages of education? Why are people told WHAT to think instead of HOW to think? For nothing? It just happens to be that way? One would be very naive to think so. A society that truly was for the benefit of its people would have free education, in fact the whole focus of the society would be based on education. The more educated a population, the better chance it has at anything. And one has to make a distinction between education and indoctrination, because people need to be taught about empiricism, critical thinking, true values, et cetera (not just told what to think!!).
People love to go on and on about money. They have no trouble printing endless sums of money for whatever they want... The sad thruth is a money system will NEVER have YOUR best interests in mind. And yes I know a money system doesn't have a mind, but I hope you get my point nonetheless.
Why do you NEED money? Why do you NEED government, police, etc? Implying the need for these things implies the need for control and manipulation, the need to be told what to do, the need to be governed or policed. Why do good hard working people need to be governed and policed? Implying people can not think for themselves (this may be becoming increasingly true as a result). Implying that good honest people are a danger somehow? Mass genocide can occur with nobody held accountable, yet somehow one individual even if he does commit a petty crime, is somehow a danger, a big deal in comparison ? That's simply ignoring the big problems! You don't pay your taxes, you go to jail. Wow, if that doesn't sound like control I don't know what does. It's like the mafia saying if you don't pay us for your protection, we'll kill you and your family (or whatever). How is that ANY different than the government obliging you to pay a portion of your income plus pay taxes on taxes ontop of taxes on every transaction you make, for their supposed "serve and protect"? Everything comes from the people... all the services and "protection" it all ends up being funded from you and me anyways, so how are "they "doing ANYTHING, really? It's just people doing things, but really not realizing that they are a construct of a really sickening system! People acting without realizing how it all works. Without realizing the need to understand. Without ever thinking that they might need improvement. All people can think about is money, a worthless piece of paper representing a debt to the makers of money? How does that NOT sound like INSANITY to you?
Sorry if this was too long to read, I'm gonna stop now. It's crazy, people will probably think ME insane for writing what I just wrote.
