Marxism vs. the Wheel
Ideas formed in the middle 1800’s are guiding today’s economic politics. Specifically, Marx’s idea of capitalism has captured the minds of those ‘pulling the strings’ or influencing U.S. politicians. Only a greedy, ignorant, corrupt politician would fall for an idea formulated over 150 years ago by Karl Marx, the author of the Communist Manifesto. The emphasis is on ignorant because today’s corrupt politicians are only motivated by greed for themselves and their families.
Marx had the idea that capitalism is like the ripples made by a pebble when dropped into a still pool of water. The ripples move outward in an ever-increasing size. Marx saw capitalism as a system that needed to continually grow at an ever-increasing rate.
Can anyone say GNP? The Gross National Product (national income and output measurement) is an economist’s ‘wet dream’ for a nation’s growth. U.S. politicians freeze up (because of their ignorance) when they hear that the GNP is stagnant or declining. The GNP worriers proves that they really bought into this mid-1800’s Marxist idea.
They also bought into Kissinger’s idea that Marx’s continual growth could be funded by foreign nations buying U.S. debt. That’s government debt brought about by spending to grow the economy. Kissinger is another issue.
The only way the U.S. will continue to be the shinning light of freedom is to reject Marxist-capitalism and go back to Nationalist-capitalism. “Nationalism was the most successful political force of the 19th century.” When it was coupled with Capitalism, the U.S. had a stable economy and became a dominating world power.

Nationalist-capitalism is an idea like the wheel. Its shape needs no improvement. It rolls no matter how big or small. The wheel doesn’t need to continue growing to move. When it changes shapes, it is not a wheel anymore. More importantly, slight changes in shape marginalize its efficiency.
The same goes for Nationalist-capitalism. Nationalist-capitalism focuses on the nation and its citizens. Loose that focus and a country morphs into something less freedom efficient.
Nationalist-capitalism brought the U.S. to its feet through the 1800s. It ran circles around all other political philosophies or systems. Obviously, people like Marx became envious of a system that was making a startup nation into a world power. His misguided theory was swallowed hook, line and sinker just like Darwin’s theory of evolution. Both theories are from the dark ages. Both were formulated with antiquated technology. Current technology shows the misguided ignorance and total lack of future prediction for both. Ignorant, lazy people still believe in both. Most of them are in politics or are those manipulating politicians.
What happened in the 1900s to bring the U.S. to its knees? Nationalist-capitalism morphed into a hybrid of Marxist-capitalism and socially engineered collectivism. The Federal Reserve Act (December 23, 1913), the International Monetary Fund (December 27, 1945), the ongoing Central Bank concept, political correctness and special interests (environmentalists, feminists, ACLU types, etc) combined to squeeze Nationalism out.
The fruitcake “social engineers” rely on the courts to divide citizens into groups. They have successfully fractured the concept of Nationalism. The “money changers” have been a catastrophe for Nationalism and freedom. They are the root of U.S. declining and the rise of globalism according to Marx’s capitalism.
Marxist theorized that capitalism has an ever-expanding monetary appetite. This appetite would and did lead the U.S into expanding globally to continue growing, like the water ripples.
Economic changes were made during the 1900s to accommodate this ever-expanding monetary appetite. They have been a complete failure causing multiple financial crises (some include – 1929, mid 1960s, 1973-74, 1985, 1987, 1997-99 (Asia), 2000 – Do your homework!).

Corrupt, lazy politicians refuse to study the historical content of the economic crisis from 1900 on. They keep allowing others to adjust the economic system to no avail. This week we have capitalism. Next week we have socialism. The following week we have hybrid capitalism/communism. Some claim under Bush it was fascism. We even have royal families to help continue the ignorance. (Kennedys, Bushs, Clintons, etc.) and even dictators (Nixon, Roosevelt, and soon Obama).
The simple-minded politicians do what the ‘money changers’ tell them. We need a voter’s revolution to re-orientate the politicians’ perspective. Vote Out The Bums (VOTB) will eventually take the ignorance out of politics and replace it with common sense. Nationalist-capitalism is common sense. We don’t need Marxist ideas from the 1800’s guiding the U.S today. We need ideas like the ‘wheel’ and Nationalism.
The U.S. is made up of many nationalities. The innate pioneer spirit is the common bond among all U.S. citizens. Fostering that bond is a simple matter of common sense economics.
Get an intelligent economist to develop a formula equating products made in the U.S with those made outside the U.S. Apply that formula to ‘foreign’ products and add an import tax to the importer. Give citizens a choice between a vacuum cleaner made in China and one made in the U.S., both costing the same. Common sense tells you that new (environmentally friendly, made in the USA) vacuum cleaner factories will spring up in the U.S. employing citizens.
Of course, the idiot politicians and their profiteer influences will come up with a storyline like “it will cost more”, or “we need the competition” or “we need to prevent another World War”.
In their ignorance, politicians and their puppeteers forget that citizens will have more money to spend because the jobs and the dollars stay in the U.S. Competition forces will always affect consumer choices. If a better product for the same price is made in Korea, the U.S. pioneer spirit will kick into high gear. U.S. ingenuity will design a superior product. U.S. ingenuity will negate the competition factor. As for preventing wars, only uncivilized people go to war. How about working on educating all peoples and not just bribing them with low paying jobs?
Nationalist-capitalism has buoyed the U.S. economy for 150 years. Why exchange it for Marxist-capitalism? The U.S doesn’t need to grow its or the world’s economy. The wheel and Nationalist-capitalism have proven to be sound, stable ideas!
VOTB – Vote out the (greedy, ignorant politicians and their puppeteer) Bums that have been clinging to outdated Marx’s ideas. Global ideas about trade and currency exchanges can be negated by the ‘wheel’ idea using Nationalist-capitalism. The pioneer spirit of U.S. citizens is the wheel that is freedom – everywhere.
Visit the VOTB store and spread freedom!!!!
