Before OP posts again i'd just like to point out that monetary labor system is dying out right now due to it's lack of efficiency. People just don't like giving up their labor for an asset that fluctuates in value and has no other use.
I personally am doing my best not to work for money and instead work for the benefits of the resource or product i'm after. Maybe OP is trying to say that the monetary system binds people to the government.
If not, i'm lost because all of this can be chalked up to inefficient math and is easily fixable if people would just do it.
Yes and no. More truthfully what I am saying is that the rich own you.
Well, my argument is that what defines rich is going to change dramatically.
I don't see a numerically minded asshat in a suit being able to convince real people that they're his property when they have no reason to eat up his fiat currency.
All it takes is working the education system, through lobbying, in their favor. There's already motions in the Georgia state Senate to include lessons in history classes about the perfectness of capitalism and how it's a system where everyone's equal except lazy folks, et cetera. You get them when they're young and they won't know what hit 'em.
Now imagine if everyone knew that. I can't see many people submitting their children to a scholastic system that way. Besides, if you have to force people to see your way, then that must be saying something about the effectiveness of it on it's own. Waste more resources to indoctrinate kids, causing the labor to be focused on less on efficiency and more on political posturing? Go ahead, those who choose not to will probably be ahead of you on the knowledge curb, and eventually people who see that higher ground won't want to work for you anymore.
The point is it's a waste of resources to indoctrinate people to a lie. All it does is reduce your output as a country and destroy your economy, if not cause civil unrest and destruction.
Those who choose to labor in their own manner with their own decisions on what to accept as compensation of their labor are more likely to be successful when it's realized what the capitalistic system does to the world.
Don't get me wrong, i benefit from a capitalist society the same way you do, i'm sure. I'm just not going to make it mandatory for anyone else when i've seen the weakness of it. Neither should anyone else really, considering the time that's wasted in doing so when that effort could be put into improving a system.
Of course, that's why nobody in the government represents me anymore. I'm working on letting our foreign neighbors know the same thing. I figure if i remove myself from the hydra that is government and mandatory capitalism, maybe others will see the benefits of doing so.
