Capitalism is a danger: System can be taken over by capital

Xanadu · Feb 13, 2013

Capitalism has become the biggest threat to freedom over the past hundred years (FED started in 1913, 100 years later politics is focussing on the economy as never before, a sign). Some people see capitalism as good, because they can make lots of buks in a short time, but money is a method of payment (it's paper or a number on a bankaccount), people even get almost insane (jumping off buildings when they loose 'billions', the psychological impact is huge on some people) by seeing large amounts, they stare blind at the amounts, while inflation caused these amounts, who caused inflation? (rulers/politicians and banksters did, they work together)
In the nineteen twenties Russia (power) was taken over by using a large amount of cash money (they bribed politicians), what happened to Russia is well known.
At this moment the establishment/rulers have gathered more capital than ever before (they have done this for a century, in all kinds of ways, via banks, gold/diamonds, movie industry, housing martket, stock exhange, resources, energy/oil) You could see the capitalistic cities rise as never before over the past decade (a big sign on how fast the system was gathering capital, nobody ever asked how they could build so many skyscrapers in such a short time) In Europe the 'governments' (establishments) are taken over the banks (they are not saving the banks, they just gather more capital, the rate is increasing, another warning/sign) They have more power over the system than ever before (full control or absolute power can only be reached by elections, by taking the power of the people, this is the last stumbling-block they have. Thats why they try to cause revolution in the masses and keep the economy going down, and all the innovation has stopped, since the devellopment around/of the Moonlandings, Space Shuttle and Concorde, that was the top of innovation, now you only see communication/ICT (our communication is important for 'big brother') and large planes, cruise ships and high ways are developing (militarization of the system), the rest at a stand-still) Capitalism should be weaken and innovation (more ecological based technologies) should be strenghten. But that will not be happen soon, rather expect a repeat of 1929, chaos and new elections this year/begin 2014. If stocks start to fall in juli, in october the crash can happen (afterall 2013 is eightyfour (1984) years since 1929, but nothing is sure in this 'matrix'. They first need more votes to better the economy (they can gain power/votes (euforic masses) from a booming economy)

No. Korea catchin' on to capitalism...

N Korea echoing Chinas move to capitalism
Sun, Jun 02, 2013 - North Korean farmers knee-deep in muddy paddies across the country have a new incentive during this years crucial rice planting season: possible bonuses that are part of an economic shift echoing ally Chinas steps three decades ago toward embracing capitalism.

Details about the changes are emerging nearly two months after the North Korean regime unveiled its dual goals of building the economy and developing nuclear weapons in the first concrete economic policy laid out by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un since he assumed power in December 2011. Farmers say they have begun working under the new policies, which are designed to boost production by giving managers and workers financial incentives. Foreign analysts say the moves to spur North Koreas moribund economy suggest Pyongyang is taking cues from Beijing on how to incorporate free-market ideas within its rigid socialist system.

The North enshrining its provocative push to build atomic weapons as a national goal has complicated efforts to force Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program and dominated international discussion about the country. The Norths economic priorities have drawn far less attention, but some experts think important reforms could be unfolding. Impoverished North Korea suffers chronic food and power shortages and has not released economic data for decades. South Koreas central bank estimates that the Norths gross national income was US$1,250 per person in 2011, compared with US$23,400 in South Korea. In the past, the North Korean state set workers salaries. Under new measures announced on April 1, the managers of farms, factories and other enterprises have been given leeway to set salaries and offer raises to productive workers.

Providing material incentives and loosening central control over economic decisionmaking are two key elements in transitioning from a command economy to a market-based system, said John Delury, an assistant professor of Chinese studies at Yonsei University in Seoul. Also announced on April 1 was the reappointment of North Korean Premier Pak Pong-ju after his dismissal from the post in 2007. Pak was central to reform attempts more than a decade ago. You just wouldnt bring back Pak Pong-ju unless you were going to try readjusting economy policy, Delury said. North Koreas policy changes echo the market reforms that transformed China into a manufacturing powerhouse and the worlds second-largest economy, while also lifting millions out of grinding poverty.

Beijing dismantled its centrally planned economy slowly. In the 1970s, it began allowing farmers to keep more of their harvests, incentivizing them to grow more to sell on newly allowed free markets. Food production soared. In the mid-1980s, Beijing gave state enterprises the authority to link bonuses and salaries to better performance. Those changes were mostly aimed at managers, but they cracked a communist-era preference for egalitarianism. New rules in the early 1990s gave state firms full flexibility to set wages, widening the use of incentives. In that decade, China truly broke away from its centralized iron rice bowl system of guaranteed employment and state-set incomes. Delury and others say that if the North is intent on economic reform, it is likely to be a fitful process. We have to be careful not to say: Aha, its all change, its finally here, he said. The point is and we see this from the Chinese case this is a process that unfolds over time and there are starts and stops, too, but this is a strong signal of a push.
