Why Capitalism Makes Us Sick

I'd say a good part of B.C.'s economy is resource based and Alberta's too, maybe more so than B.C.'s. Do you think the Green Party would get involved in a resource based economy?
A Global Holistic Solution: Resource Based Economy
Global problems faced by mankind today are impacting individuals and nations rapidly. Climate change, famine, war, epidemics of deadly diseases and environmental pollution contribute to the long list of global challenges we, as humans, need to promptly address before an eventual catastrophe swiftly becomes inevitable.
Regardless of political philosophy, religious beliefs, or social customs, all socio-economic systems ultimately depend upon natural resources, such as clean air and water, arable land, and the necessary technology and personnel to maintain a high standard of living.
Modern society has access to highly advanced technologies and can make available food, clothing, housing, medical care, a relevant educational system, and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy such as geothermal, solar, wind and tidal.
It is now possible to have everyone on Earth enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities that a prosperous civilization can provide. This can be accomplished through the intelligent and humane application of science and technology.

On this day, 16 June 1531, Henry VIII modified the vagrancy laws he brought in the previous year, which were key in creating the working class. People kicked off communal land who were not in wage labour were designated as vagabonds, and on their first offence were to be whipped, then on the second whipped with half an ear sliced off and upon a third offence they were to be executed. This shows that we, being the working class who have nothing to sell but our labour, is not a natural state of affairs, but one which was created over an extended period of time with massive state violence. This is Karl Marx's short account of these laws: https://libcom.org/history/bloody-legislation-against-expropriated And this short introduction to capitalism explains their importance in creating a dispossessed working class: https://libcom.org/library/capitalism-introduction

Interesting how much wage slaves fiercely protect their slavery even today.

But Henry could be a bit of an Asshole!

Basically this article is advocating a form of socialism where the doers provide freebie especially for everyone else without getting paid for it.
Interestinf how many freeloaders demand those wage slavess provide them with free money, food, healthcare.

The essence of Slavery is that someone else controls the value of your production.
In Capitalism, this was achieved by first driving the common people of their ancestral lands by systematically destroying the abundant money systems of the medieval era by forcing Gold Standards everywhere.
This caused a deflation that first savaged the country side.
In this way, the People lost their means of independence, and were forced to work for others for a living, in the cities.
By giving them a wage, immeditately a large chunk of the value of the worker's production is taken by the shareholder. With Multinationals, profits and shareholder dividends are typically higher than cost for labor.
What remains is sucked off with scientific precision.
A worker making 2000 per month has a budget something like this:
300 for the State
700 for the Landlord
100 for Energy
100 for 'health' 'care'
200 for Transportation
50 for Telecom.
Usury and taxation are a huge component (up to 60%) of those prices. Directly and indirectly, the Usurer controls all these cartels dominating the different supply lines upon which people depend. Including the Land they live on.
What remains, 550, about a quarter, is to eat and try live a life. A fraction of what 40 hours work produced.
The beauty of the System is, that when wages rise, prices, debts (and associated usurious cost), rents, rise along, sucking up the extra purchasing power.
Residual wealth that the Middle Class retains during booms, is disowned a little later with the inevitably following crunch, forcing them into liquidation at depressed prices.
This is how Money rules.
And this is how deeply we are enslaved.
No solution to all this is thinkable, without the end of Usury by interest free credit for the People.
Complete and utter bullshit.

Poor little jerk water, red neck, hillbilly, John Trudell was one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century.
