The Big C in the Room
Let’s talk about The Big C in the room, Capitalism. Few things on earth are naturally evil, but become evil when they get carried away with greed. This is the way capitalism stands in the United States. Capitalism by Force is, without question, evil. “Go get a job or starve. Go get a job or lose your house. Accept a loan for a chance at self improvement”, these are all definitions of accepting a contract under duress, and we CAN be better than this. I don’t really care how much money the big boss makes, as long as the people under them are fed, housed, and healthy. History teaches us that when greed takes over, we are met with violent revolution, and I doubt many here want to see another civil war. While we still have the opportunity to reach a compromise, we have a duty to the people of this nation to prevent a violent revolution.
There is a compromise we can work towards that will change Capitalism by Force to Capitalism for Fun, and it involves limiting what is allowed to be controlled by capital. With five trillion in cash coming into our government every year in taxes, it is long past time for us to free housing, food, and healthcare from the control of capital. Imagine for a moment how much money companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Tesla stand to gain if 60% of our income wasn’t going directly back into the pockets of property owners. Imagine for a moment how different their employment contracts would look if people weren’t concerned with losing housing in exchange for their services. This is mutually beneficial for everyone who doesn’t make their money off of rent and interest.
By purchasing and converting vacant corporate real estate and empty parcels of land into apartments with sustainable utilities, we are going to break the cycle that has held our people back since the 80’s. Our residents will not be asked for rent, they will be asked to participate in their community by helping maintain the properties. All of the tools are there for us to deploy, from solar windows and panels to fancy floor scrubbers. We built the empire state building in 1 year and 45 days nearly 100 years ago. Amazon warehouses, apartments, and strip malls go up in only 9 months. At only 40,000 per apartment (approximate cost) we could build enough to house our entire homeless population for 32 billion in less than a year. Even just California’s taxes could cover that, let alone the 5 trillion in taxes our federal government is working with.
We believe it is long past time for us to push past “work or die”. Most people will still work, they want their subscriptions, their nice cars, their games and televisions. Assuming that all people are too lazy to pursue self improvement is foolish, it doesn’t mesh with rich people's kids still going out and working. With all of the tools available to us ready to be purchased, deployed, and set free from the exclusive control of capital, we believe a better world is on our horizon. Capitalism under duress is in its final days, capitalism for fun is right around the corner.
