CAPITALISM OR SOCIALISM

By Stephania Lidia Bauer

In the face of a deluge, in the face of the storm, some of us would take shelter in yachts, others in boats or canoes and those of the lower social stratum... trying to survive with all their strength, shipwrecked in rafts.

It is a reality where equality does not work, the economic model should be governed by equity. But obviously that will never happen.


He who has money, wants more... The word empathy will never exist in their lexicon.


So all that remains is to let our fingernails grow long enough to scratch ourselves if we feel itchy. Neither socialism nor capitalism is an exemplary ideal against poverty, it has been demonstrated.

Today a kind of ideology is practiced; "modern feudalism", where the working class is a slave of labor. That is to say, vassals and lords.

The working class, the great majority, puts itself at the service of a feudal lord, call him entrepreneur. He gives a crumb of the profits to his vassals in exchange for certain services.



At present the only socialists that have remained are limousine socialists. Capitalists disguised as proletarians.



People, who supposedly do not have their own means of production and sell their labor force in exchange for a wage or salary. Ironically these socialists, have a capitalist life; they complain about the capitalist ideal and they are part of that economic role; with good houses, cars and are owners of companies. They travel to Europe or countries around the world.

For dignity, they should burn or break the American VISA, or not visit the home of their eternal capitalist rival against which they flooded so much hate, a country which today they take as their home yard, the USA.



Culturally, the information to which we are subjected and bombarded day by day by the mass media, by the great leaders, is a culture that creates "consumers not producers".

Hence, the employee never ceases to be a proletarian. He spends his salary to live emulating the life of a feudal. Imitating that person trying one day to be the same; and to be a socialist of firm ideology "colored bone". That day he loses his common sense to enjoy the privileges and comforts that a life of wealth provides.



He is like the union leader who sells out, when he should have a firm stance for the good of the union. But... money corrupts integrity.
