The Whole World Test: Capitalism Fail

Physicists test the laws of physics by taking them mathematically back to the big bang.

I apply this test to ideologies. I take them to an extreme to see if they would hold up under pressure. For example, Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses do not fight. If everyone in the world were Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses, one armed man could rule them all.

With money, if everyone in the world had a million dollars, everyone would stop working, and the economic system would collapse. Capitalism depends on a poor working class for it's existence.

Who knew Ed McMaughan was a communist?

    "If everyone in the world were Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses, one armed man could rule them all."

    That is not true. Having weapons does not mean power. The masses would disarm and disable him. That is why the belief that the military protects freedom is a fallacy. If the USA was invaded the invaders can not control the masses as the masses would still support the constitution.

    Unarmed masses can hardly control an armed oppression, which is why the founders secured our right to bear arms.

    I do agree with your attitude that we have nothing to fear from outside invasion.

    False. If everyone, EVERYONE, were truly Jehovah's Witnesses, there would not be an armed man to "rule" them all.

How to overcome hate

One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.

Ron Paul sticks it to the man

Paul makes fun of the Nobel, chastises Reps and Dems from not criticizing their own parties, and encourages dissent: I'm a fan of both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, who seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. But they are both anti-war, anti-interventionist, and honest thinkers.

Meet Thomas Paine

"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
