Guided by central authority according to central plan, a socialistic economy can be democratic or dictatorial. A democracy in which the central authority depends on public support through ballots and elections cannot proceed differently from the capitalistic economy. It will produce and distribute what the public likes, that is, alcohol, tobacco, trash in literature, on the stage, and in the cinema, and fashionable frills. The capitalistic economy, however, caters as well to the taste of a few consumers. Goods are produced that are demanded by some consumers, and not by all. The democratic command economy with its dependence on popular majority need not consider the special wishes of the minority. It will cater exclusively to the masses. But even if it is managed by a dictator who, without consideration for the wishes of the public, enforces what he deems best — who clothes, feeds, and houses the people as he sees fit — there is no assurance that he will do what appears proper to "us." The critics of the capitalistic order always seem to believe that the socialistic system of their dreams will do precisely what they think correct. While they may not always count on becoming dictators themselves, they are hoping that the dictator will not act without first seeking their advice. Thus they arrive at the popular contrast of productivity and profitability. They call "productive" those economic actions they deem correct. And because things may be different at times, they reject the capitalistic order, which is guided by profitability and the wishes of consumers, the true masters of markets and production. They forget that a dictator, too, may act differently from their wishes, and that there is no assurance that he will really try for the "best," and, even if he should seek it, that he should find the way to the "best." more: http://mises.org/story/3156 --- On Tue, 11/25/08, philip madsen <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: philip madsen <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Conspiracy and global warming To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 3:48 PM There are lots of Jewish reasons why social credit will not work.. All Jewish.. Its like National socialism is not Communism, but it still is totalitarianism.. And both use social credit economics as regards the money supply, yet it is toward slavery of the masses. The word social as misused as it is, comes from the word "society". I prefer the term "economic democracy" . liberal and conservative are also misnomers.. I am a conservative progressive liberal. Economic democracy means that all money should be created by an independent agency of the state and issued at cost of production, (which is virtually nothing) to the consumers of goods produced. Of course there are rules checks and balances , the main one of course being that the amount of money must equal the value of the goods available for sale, and balance is maintained annually if you like. The democracy part is that peoples vote with their money.. IE people who manufacture faulty goods do not sell much.. and will go out of business. . The system was designed by an army engineer, a protestant as well, though the principles involved were always Catholic from the earliest of times, before the Jews got control of the banking system, and created all money as a debt. His name was Major Douglas, and his basic book was called Economic Democracy.. It works because his was an engineering problem not an economic one,, Money is a transport mechanism to distribute goods and labour.. It has no intrinsic value in itself. If you give 12 economists a problem they will come up with 13 answers. .. I t was used by Hitler to make Germany enormous during the depression. Australia used it once during the same period, and built the Grand continental Railway from adelaide to Kalgoorly free of debt.. to a large degree the Coomonwealth Bank saved australia from the worst of the depression.. This was why it had to go. It is no longer ... Back then when people borrowed from the peoples Bank, they owed the money to themselves. not the private bankers . Its advertising motto was "get with the strength" .. Oh how the international Jew bankers hated that slogan. Pauls answer to the problem I gave is simple.. If 1000 people get marooned on the island that has many resources , they elect a leader. They nominate a readily available stone as currency. they open a book and enter credits for each individual. this is the base money issued to all for basic necessities. Some people will then work privately others for the governmentand earn and spend.. and so distribution of goods is effected. Society will grow.. (social ) credit.. get it?

The word "social" seems to have become a euphemism for stealing. Thus "socialized medicine" becomes "stolen medicine" ( the people who PUT AN EFFORT INTO keeping themselves healthy, productive, and financially frugal are forced to hand over $1,000 dollars to a robber who keeps $501 for himself and gives $499 to a person who has put an effort into living a unhealthy, spendthrift, unproductive lifestyle so that his body can be repaired.
