Something for everybody, that is, the mixed economy.

Socialism does not really address the critical problem of wealth creation even though it talks about the distribution of wealth, all the time.


Socialism er communism was a colossal failure in the Eastern block. Communism has been a grand success in China but China was always very much a single nation with a taste for manufacturing. Socialism was quite a failure in India. India as of now has a very sound economic system and the real problem with India is a thorough lack of diversification stemming largely from it's obsession with the degree oriented office er desk jobs. Nobody really wants to get his hands dirty here. Of course, I was never a big fan of the classes here and was always a stern critic of the indigenous faith which is mostly a jumble of the brazen and the sly, and the laissez faire.

I am a very pro people capitalist i.e. I am all for a market driven mixed economy with a healthy government intervention. Of course, the government should ensure that everybody has access to the barest essentials without much difficulty.

Even blatant capitalism can not drive out the humane element from the authentic Christian world. It is the fractured and scattered societies which need to be wary of the pitfalls of unabashed capitalism which otherwise ensures speedy development in very tangible, concrete terms.

Driving out the capitalists from the very bastion of the Wild West, which is addicted to opulence, pomp and show, is quite apparently an adventure which is even more frightening than belling the cat.

Tangible wealth sure as hell ain't created out of thin air. Talking about the surplus and socially irrelevant wealth, there, sure as hell, can be some kind of upper ceiling on personal wealth.

Dormant wealth has absolutely no utility.

The strongest argument against Communism including Socialism is that it creates Gods out of the Statesmen and the Bureaucrats who are quite allergic to enterprise, passion and creativity, in particular.

Also, even the Communist societies have their own share of have not s. In fact, the working class is at the bottom of every single hierarchy in the world.

Of course, capitalism assures a much, much higher level of affluence i.e. material well being in general. I am talking strictly in terms of individual nations here.

Worshipping wealth is bad but killing life i.e. passion, enterprise and creativity is far worse. The Wild West, in spirit, is a world entirely different from the Eurasian Steppes. Heaven be praised for that! Long live the West despite all it's lewdity and racism!

What I am trying to say, comrade, is that capitalism is all that we really have even though it is very important to keep the capitalists in check because they indeed do have the capabilities to run away with almost the entire wealth of nations, albeit on the very sly, once they learn how how to 'charm' their way through the 'system'.

There sure as hell should be an upper ceiling on personal wealth. The revenue should be used to subsidize the barest necessities as and when the need arises.

I am a very pro people capitalist. I believe in passion, enterprise, creativity and the barest essentials for one and all without 'any' difficulty.

I despise the culture in which the public representatives and the public servants are arrogated to the status of Gods! Such a culture is prominent in the much maligned Uttar Pradesh and is one of the principal causes behind it's economic under performance in per capita terms. For a moment I am willing to forget that the same state has probably the second largest economy in India after Maharashtra. But facts are facts. Socialism has been a big failure in this one state in particular.

It seems that you tend to forget all the time, very conveniently, that the capitalists bring 'jobs'! This is the biggest argument in favour of capitalism in the context of countries with surplus labour such as India.

Also, let us not forget that they are the 'risk bearers'. It is their tangible 'wealth' which is at stake.

You somehow seem to very conveniently forget that wealth can not be created out of thin air and that the in the countries with surplus labour, tangible wealth ain't exactly in abundance. Capitalists do have their own significance. Besides, they sure as hell have a very rare thing which is called business acumen.

Germany has emerged 'spectacularly' from the ruins of the Third Reich in almost no time simply because of it's much superior culture and it's economic system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_market_economy

As I said, something for everybody.

The Barren Island which has almost nothing ruled essentially the entire world for a good two hundred years and made absolute merry simply because it had the administrators, the explorers and the capitalists and never once did one 'meddle' in the affairs of the other, in the normal course.

Keeping the capitalists in check, in general, shouldn't exactly be much of a problem in Great Britain where 'law and order' are definitely the Holy Cows. 'Law and order' ain't exactly seemingly impotent or whorish in the land of opportunity either all the 'life' notwithstanding.

Communism er Socialism er the State run economies have mostly been a failed experiment. In China, Communism has been a grand success simply because China like any other East Asian society is a lot about community living i.e. people are habituated to toe the line i.e. they tend to follow the 'rules' and the 'commands' in their larger interests because they otherwise are about average.China always had a taste for manufacturing. All the Communists did was give everybody a big push in the right direction.

The moment West er Anglo sphere embraces complete automation of the manufacturing sector, which it never will because it does not really have raw nerds in large numbers, the Chinese 'goods' will become a thing of the past and the great Chinese Boom will become the grand Chinese Burst in almost no time. The Brown Bastards with all those STEM degrees should make absolute merry in such a scenario but the Americans etc. etc. ain't exactly 'fools'!

Germans will quite possibly be the first ones to embrace such automation but they are thoroughly lacking in the sophistries. Germany should overtake the Anglo sphere in another fifty years.

Capital punishment and confiscation of private property can really keep the capitalists as well as the statesmen and the civil servants in proper check i.e. cut them down to size. It is their feasibility in the liberal societies which is really doubtful.

 Well coming back to Communism, it will never make inroads into the Anglo Sphere because it is against the very basic culture. The authentic spirit of the Eurasian steppes is the very anti thesis of the world of the Protestant Christians who are passionately in love with life.In fact, it will be nothing short of pure blasphemy! The Anglo sphere does have it's own fair share of the conservatives as the recent events in the political arena of both the U.S. and the United Kingdom have shown.

The U.S. does have a significant 'working' er the 'manufacturing' class but the complete automation of the manufacturing process is always around the corner these days.

Communism does not really stand a chance in Germany either.

By the way, it is essential to differentiate between the proper capitalists and the middlemen. The latter are a complete nuisance. These Poonjabi motherfuckers make excellent middlemen. They are making absolute merry here in the booming India. 

These days, thanks entirely to the internet, even total losers with a dropout lifestyle get to play the part of 'revolutionaries'. That is exactly what one calls opportunity and that is what communism mostly kills with all the needless meddling by the state.

India has indeed made giant strides in the past twenty years. The per capita consumption of tangibles and even the intangibles has shot up like never before. What used to be a luxury for me in my childhood is now a necessity. It is much easier to 'survive' now here in India irrespective of all the shitting streets. The real bottlenecks in case of India are it's mind blowing yet senseless diversity and the degree culture. Of course, the Indian politics suck badly.

Communism will only 'spoil' the State, further. Rather, it will 'thoroughly' spoil the State.

I am all for giving teeth to the working class and the professionals, to make myself very clear, once again.

Communism will never really find many takers in India simply because liberty and moderation are the Holy Cows here as is clearly evident in it's incredibly strong and very stable democracy.

The State can not run the business enterprises, in general. The State simply can not replace the capitalists and the entrepreneurs. The State can not run the business enterprises, in general and the capitalists and the entrepreneurs can not run the State. That is what is called 'order' in the era of hardcore specialization.

I don't really think that complete automation will ever see the light of day simply because not many are nerds and not many can truly be technocrats. It has a 50-50 chance.

Some people simply can not help abusing their 'privileges'. That is why it is said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is precisely why communism is such a dangerous proposition in a country such as India where both Law and Order are either very impotent or extremely whorish.

Hats off to the Communists, for all the 'integration'! This ancient shithole, sure as hell, has a lot to learn from the 'Chini Bhais'. 'Needless' linguistic diversity, sure as hell, is a bitch! Different dialects, within the same country, should never be allowed to develop into different languages.

Communism can never take off in a country where people put a very high premium on liberty and diversity such as India, in the normal course.

Even China will gradually move away from Communism as it truly becomes a developed country. Communism ain't exactly awfully bad for a developing country but it is a complete outsider in a developed country where people are addicted to excessive liberty.

Besides, Indians take moderation to 'alien' heights. Communism is a little too raw er revolutionary in character for them. Communism can never take off in India.

......and Socialism was mostly a failure in greatly improving the lot of the Indians in tangible, concrete terms.

Communism is much about the trade-off between liberty and economic growth for any undeveloped country.

There can not be a free press in a non-capitalist country either because of the horrible concentration of power in very few hands.

Power is hell lot more evenly distributed in any capitalist country even though life is lot more stressful in a capitalist country.

There, sure as hell, can be an upper ceiling on personal wealth or very, very progressive er highly differential taxation to prevent the concentration of fabulous wealth in the hands of very few. Capitalists, entrepreneurs etc. etc. will always venture out and undertake and organise because that is what really turns them on....the chase, more than the kill itself. Of course, the end results do matter but people always prefer to be occupied.

The capital punishments do keep everybody in proper check. There should be capital punishments to deter corruption in public offices and the depraved capitalists.

Red Tape is awfully bad. The less, the better. Serves a lot of purpose in regulating. Has little use in value addition in tangible, concrete terms.

All I know is that I simply abhor mere mortals strutting around like Gods and making life miserable for others, despite being a sucker for vitality. Life is for everyone and the world is for everyone. Live and let live.

The middleman types are making an absolute merry here in booming India simply because the classes are altogether indifferent and the masses are a little too ignorant.

It is very possible to keep the capitalists in proper check without actually killing enterprise, passion, innovation, trade and commerce. The 'civilised' world does not really need the State to play the leading role in boosting the much needed economic growth which is clearly the case with most of the Third World. It is already pretty developed with a simply mind-blowing infrastructure.

Even China will eventually move away from heavy State intervention in economy towards a mixed economy, like India did.

Mixed economies are here to stay. Make no mistake about it. Communism will never find any takers in the 'civilised' world. It is, as a matter of fact, the very anti-thesis of the Wild West which celebrates liberty, enterprise and innovation.
