JS,
Socialism works in the beginning or at least appears to, but ends up running on
more and more borrowed money to keep up the facade until it collapses.
As ARA members we made very good wages because we belonged to a labor union.
But the only reason we were able to do so was because the government was
subsidizing our wages. The government did so, and continues to do so, using
borrowed money. If the money is not borrowed then it has to be taken out of
taxes which is even worse for the economy because taxes rob every other worker
for the benefit of a few. Most union jobs have now vanished and the few that
remain are government jobs. If America was an individual it would have been
declared bankrupt years ago because it is so far in debt that it cannot
possibly ever be paid back. Soon the U.S. will no longer even be able to pay
the interest on the debt and it will be far worse than the economic depression
of the 1930's because this time the U.S. Dollar will be worthless and the vast
majority of U.S. wealth, which is paper wealth, will just disappear.
My advice is buy food, water, gold, silver, arms and ammo. By any measure the
collapse that is coming will be the greatest the world has ever seen.
Communism, Fascism, and crony Capitalism are all relics that no longer work.
Real change only happens after a complete disaster. The Soviet Union was borne
in a violent revolution and died in an economic collapse. The U.S. will
collapse the same way. I can't see China taking over because despite what
deluded Stan thinks, China is a crony capitalist system. Some new form of
government will need to arise.
