SOCIALISM IS GOOD
SOCIALISM IS GOOD
Countries such as Singapore, Norway and Switzerland are part capitalist and part socialist.
We are talking about “borderline socialist states, with generous welfare benefits and lots of redistribution of wealth.”

All of the above countries are wealthier than the USA.

Is Bernie Sanders’ democratic socialism right for America.
There are elements of socialist thinking in the teachings of Plato[51], Aristotle.[52] and Jesus.

The term “socialism” was used by Henri de Saint-Simon.
Simon saw “socialism” as a contrast to the doctrine of selfish “individualism”.
“The richest 1% now own as much as everyone else put together.”
Communism, as organised by Lenin and Stalin, was an extremist (Kosher Nostra) doctrine, not much different from fascism; with the original Soviet and Chinese Communism , a rich elite treated the ordinary people as slaves.
Hitler, like Tony Blair, was used by the ‘right wing’ to smash socialism. Hitler got his thugs to beat up socialists.

Chris Watson.In 1904, Australians elected the first Australian Labor Party prime minister: Chris Watson, who became the first democratically elected social democrat.

Salvador Allende, president of Chile and member of the Socialist Party of Chile. His presidency was ended by the CIA on 9 11.[165]The main opposition to Socialism comes from the CIA, working on behalf of the rich elite.
In Indonesia, the moderate socialist President Sukarno was toppled by the CIA, who ordered the murders of around one million Indonesians, the vast majority of them moderates.
The CIA toppled the socialist Salvador Allende, and replaced him with the fascist Augusto Pinochet.
The CIA also committed mass murder in Nicaragua because it preferred right wing dictatorship to agrarian reform.
In the UK, the CIA infiltrated the Labour Party and took over all the key positions.
Controlled by the CIA, many social democratic parties, particularly after the Cold war, adopted neoliberal market policies including privatisation and deregulation.

The game of Monopoly comes to an end when one player has a monopoly.
“The richest 1% now own as much as everyone else put together.”
The current economic crisis is easily solved if we adopt a more socialist approach.
It’s time to increase taxes on the rich.
“The west’s leading economic thinktank”, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development recently produced a report on inequality.
The report says that rising inequality causes lower growth in an economy.
Rising inequality is estimated to have reduced growth by:
More than 10% in Mexico and New Zealand.
Nearly 9% in the UK, Finland and Norway.
Between 6% and 7% in the United States, Italy and Sweden.
It has been revealed that the wealth gap holds back economic growth.
OECD secretary-general Angel Gurría
The report shows that the UK economy would have been more than 20% bigger had the gap between rich and poor not widened since the 1980s.
The OECD proposes higher taxes on the rich and policies aimed at increasing the wealth of the bottom 40% of the population.
Reagan and Thatcher supported ‘trickle-down economics’, the crazy idea that ordinary people would benefit from weakening trade unions and making bankers richer.
J P Morgan
The OECD report shows that:
1. “Income inequality has a sizeable and … negative impact on growth.”
2. “Inequality … hampers growth.”

The game of Monopoly can go on for ever, so long as the rich 0.01% do not end up controlling all the properties, houses, hotels and cash.
The game of Monopoly can also go on for ever, so long as you are allowed to borrow money.
You land on ‘Mayfair’ where your opponent has hotels.
You haven’t got enough cash, so you borrow from ‘the bank’, which has limitless money.
Each time you pass ‘Go’ you pay 5% on your borrowing.
If your opponent lands on your hotels on ‘Oxford Street’, you then have enough money to pay back the money borrowed from the bank.
Of course, if your opponent has far more properties and hotels than you, you will end up with growing debts.
But, the bank always allows you to borrow more money.
So the game goes on for ever.
The game only ends if:
(1) the rules are changed so that there is a limit to borrowing
(2) and, one player has far more properties, hotels and cash than the other and the dice are generally in his favour.

The USA currently has some economic problems.
Its debt is rising.
Its population is ageing.
Its schools are mediocre.
Its infrastructure is rickety.
Its politicians are corrupt.
It is spending too much money on wars.
There is a giant gap in wealth between the elite and the average citizen…

But, so long as the US government can go on printing money, the game can go on for ever.
Of course, if the USA fails to get its house in order, the dollar will go down in value and ordinary people become much poorer.
We should all look at Switzerland, which is made up of a number of counties (cantons).
The central government in Switzerland controls the railways.
The cantons control education, labour, economic and welfare policies and so on.
Each canton has its own parliament and constitution.
The communes vary in size from a few hundred to more than a million people.

Many people today are richer than people back in 1820.
However, the gap between the haves and the have-nots globally is now at the same level as in the 1820s.
This is according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The researchers studied income levels in 25 countries, charted them back to 1820 and then collated them as if the world was a single country.
The Gini coefficient is used to measure income inequality.
Zero represents perfect equality and 100 perfect inequality.
The global Gini rose from 49 in 1820 to 66 in 2000.

Between 1950 and 1980, income inequality did drop sharply.
This was due to an ‘egalitarian revolution.’
This ‘egalitarian revolution’ involved Socialist Parties and Trade Unions winning better wages and conditions for the poor, particularly in Europe.
Reagan came to power in 1981 and Thatcher came to power in 1979.
Inequality shot up after globalization got going in the 1980s.
The gap between the haves and the have-nots globally is now at the same level as in the 1820s.

Only in a few nations – such as Switzerland and France – has there been a long-term decline in income inequality.
The Scandinavian countries have the smallest income disparities, but these countries have now been fully infiltrated by the CIA and its friends.


There is a continuing mind control programme to persuade the voters that the rich deserve to be rich and that the poor deserve to be poor.
There is a continuing mind control programme to persuade the voters that taxes on the rich must not be raised and that the moderate socialist policies in Scandinavia are a bad thing.


Robert Owen took over some textile mills at a place called New Lanark in Scotland.
At that time, in the early 19th century, children from as young as five were working for thirteen hours a day in the mills.
Robert Owen brought about reforms, such as halting the employment of young children.
His mills prospered.

Gordon Brown reportedly works for the CIA.
Nobody seems to know exactly how much the Rothschilds are worth today. They dominate the banking establishments of England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and many other nations. It was estimated that they were worth billions back in the mid-1800s. What the total wealth of the family is today is surely an amount that is almost unimaginable, but nobody knows for sure.
“What we have in the world today is not capitalism.
“Rather, it more closely resembles ‘feudalism’ than anything else…
