"A wolf needs meat... ..." ... or it will die ...

Hecate, goddess of the underworld, and the Statue of Liberty in the United States.



Today, any person who has retained the skills of coherent thinking is constantly asking himself the question: what is going on after all! Why in the XXI century the seas are sailed by flotillas of pirates, and instead of flying to the stars we are busy looking for a crust of bread? Why have long-overcome diseases returned, and in dozens of countries around the world there have been "revolutions of scum", returning peoples back to the Stone Age? Why is it that financiers' profit extraction is encountering a growing shaft of disintegration and chaotization of mankind? To answer these questions, a scientific look at the economic nature of the growing capitalist profits that have replaced the cyclical rents of traditional society will help.
All profit is always a part (incomplete amount) of some unpaid deduction, gratuitous confiscation. From the point of view of the laws of conservation of substance and energy, it is impossible to take nothing without taking away anything from anywhere. By taking away and transferring - you will inevitably get the costs of friction, resistance of the medium, the costs of atomization - after all, no engine works with 100% efficiency, the output of useful energy is always less than the spent.
It follows that there can be no profit of a private person or corporation - it is a part of losses caused to society and the environment. Knowledge of these economic laws will allow us to understand why capitalism (whose main goal is the pursuit of profit) - always leads to both humanitarian and ecological DESTRUCTION of the environment.
There is a mathematical formula for the unity of humanitarian and resource depletion. The essence of the formula is that these are not two different processes, but two sides of the same process. Capitalism devours humanity from the head, and then (when the head is driven away) from the feet.
Why?
Because capitalism is (in a nutshell) a profit squeezing machine. It is a profit squeezing machine. Did capitalism ever hide this? No. Can there be profit for the private individual without loss to the surrounding individuals and environment? No. This is where the roots of capitalism's historical doom are to be found.
Profit can be squeezed out of both people and nature, the surrounding resources given to mankind by gift. And one does not exclude the other at all: the press does not care what to squeeze - humanity or ecology. The main thing is to get profit pressed out of corpses and ruins....
In the beginning, capitalism squeezed profit out of the material that is easier and closer and does not require complex machinery: people. Hitler generally made soap, lampshades and hanky brushes out of people. His Anglo-American opponents were not far behind him. In the photo below you can see the famine in India, in the 40s of the twentieth century (!!!).


This famine was organized not by Stalin, but by the "democratic" English government with all its sanctimonious and hypocritical parliamentary politics. This parliamentarianism (and the absence of Stalin) did not help the hunger strikers, as we can see.

The press for squeezing out profits crushed human meat until the middle of the twentieth century, when it was frightened by the spread of Marxist ideas. Then human meat as a raw material for crush had to be abandoned (naturally, only in the core of the system) - and more technologically complex blanks went under the press of capitalism. Namely, nature and the resources freely given to mankind fell under the press.
This replacement of the oilcake in the press was proudly and falsely called "bourgeois democratism", "bourgeois humanism" and even "Swedish socialism" (as well as "two-thirds society", "society of universal abundance", society of mass consumption, etc.). Words are beautiful, but the essence is unsightly - the press has switched from human meat to ecology, the press is working, squeezing the blood of profit out of living life with a crunch of bones. But instead of humans, nature flew there.
Within a few decades of the monstrous orgy of consumerism, resources that could serve (and have served) humanity for thousands of years were devoured and spoiled. In a matter of years, the orgy of consumerism has polluted the air, poisoned the water, and spoiled the soil.
Foodstuffs have become cardboard props for real food, deserts are expanding at the speed of a herd of mustangs, fish have run out not only in the rivers, but in the oceans!
What capitalism used to do to people (squeezing them under the press) - it has now done to the environment, fearing Marxists. In the end Marx was fooled by capitalism, but you can't fool life. Destruction of the natural environment is as much genocide of humanity as the direct killing of people. There is no more difference between them than between a noose and a dagger.
But - since bourgeois-democratic humanism with its "profit for all!" has almost eaten up our planet - the ruling circles in the West have raised the question of replacing it with the "old tried and tested" method of squeezing the commoners.
Now, when capitalists are tightening the screws all over the planet, lowering wages, cutting social guarantees, etc.. - some people naively think that capitalists do this out of cruelty and pure spite. These capitalists are so greedy that they want to privatize the universal orgy of consumerism and radically reduce the number of consumers....
Of course not. Behind the greed of the bourgeois elites there are objective processes: the planet is already devoured! All the resources that were spent to support mass consumerism and universal abundance are running out.
Not only oil, gas, and ores are running out - even clean water is running out. During the years of its fear of the mighty USSR, capitalism has squeezed everything out of the planet's nature that it could squeeze out of it.
And it is not only that there is no USSR anymore; the substrate from which universal consumption was squeezed out is gone too! There is simply nowhere else to increase the consumption of millions of people the way it was increased in the 60-80s of the XX century. After all, the growth of consumption went through the depletion of the planet's INEVITABLE RESOURCES!
Ask a question - is it possible to increase profits? It could be increased in two cases:
- if planet Earth were to grow, increase in volume - and all resources, from coal to water and air, would grow with it.
- if man learned to detach his economy from the planet, and learned to use the resources of other planets, the infinity of matter in space.
But since the planet is not growing, and there are no infinite resources for labor - consequently, profits cannot grow.
And when profit is systematically squeezed out for a bunch of private individuals, it is necessarily squeezed out of something or someone.
To put it in a nutshell: capitalism recycles humanity into profit. It does this either directly (see above photo of one of its countless famines) - or indirectly, by recycling for profit the planet necessary for humanity's survival.
Capitalism made some sense (or a semblance of sense) in those times, when the planet seemed immense to people, new lands were discovered continent by continent, new and new resources were connected to the press for squeezing out personal profit (through disintegrated damage - there is no other profit).
This was the "golden age" of capitalism, inextricably linked to colonialism and colonial plunder.
That age is long gone. Capitalism breeds hatred. Why?
I will give you a purely economic answer: all insatiability has hatred as its flip side. For what is "crime"? It is a INFRINGEMENT of one or another boundary of the allotted plot. Unlimited personal income under capitalism automatically becomes a crime - because personal profit has no boundaries, no limits that it does not cross. In fact, in order for there to be no PRE-INVESTMENT, it is necessary not to cross a certain line, i.e. to limit personal income to an upper limit: no more than a million, five million, or at least a hundred million in one hand! But it is obvious that the 100 families that own the world's finances do not have such a bar - and they firmly reject attempts to set it.
Capitalism has never been kind - even in the bygone (already) era of bourgeois-democratic humanism (aka the era of resource squandering). With its cult of increasing sales at any cost, capitalism has littered the planet with dumps of broken things that no one is going to fix. It has trashed the healthy notion of repair, of resource thrift. It has killed the notion of "the long-term service of a thing" - lest it kill themselves. In his orgy of consumerism, senselessly and ruthlessly converting the planet to crap, he has convinced everyone that cars need to be replaced almost annually, and that all machinery must break down no later than three years of service!
This monstrous cult of homeric gluttony is the reverse side of the cult of sales and profit in bourgeois-democratic humanism.
Listen to what the bourgeois humanists of the mass consumer society whisper: "We love people so much, so much, so much - that we will poison all the water for them, and gas all the air with exhaust - so that they, gasping for breath, can spoil and spoil thing after thing, and buy again, again, again!"
Is it any wonder that in our years bourgeois-democratic humanism has reached a dead end, and that the way out of the dead end is sought by the forces of world CAPITAL in outright, "ordinary" fascism?
Instead of stopping the press to squeeze personal profit out of impersonal losses - the forces of capitalism are trying to replace the "cake" in the press - nature to take out, to put millions of people under. Those very millions and billions of stunned by sociopathologies, millions and billions of molested and socially and socially despairing people, which capitalism sees neither sense nor technical possibilities to fatten further in the mode of mass consumption.
After all, in order to preserve mega-greed for some and deprive others of it, a fierce, grandiose terror is needed.
You can't come into a consumer society and simply, without violence, say: -We have all been eating well, but nature has been completely depleted. Therefore, WE will continue to eat well, and YOU, you idiots, switch to potato peelings and scraps!
Imagine what kind withdrawal the consumer society will have to go through to accept such a program! There will be mass protests, burning of streets, barricades - and they have already started. They will vote for the bourgeois populists in the elections - and they have already voted.
Capitalism is well prepared for the fight. And we see how capitalism is exposing the world Ukraine. Do you realize what is happening? Capitalism is hitting the world scenario with the Ukrainian scenario. And it's doing it everywhere, all over the planet. Capitalism is trying to compensate for the loss of social rights and amenities of its "robbed" consumers by expanding degenerate practices, perversions, expanding the freedom of the beast in man.
It is conflated with Satanism as the new ideological base of the "yellow international" of capitalists of all countries (yellow is the color of gold and the color of madness). It clearly begins to rely on all the worst in man and humanity against all the best. The battle with capitalism turns from political to metaphysical, becomes an armageddon.
Capitalism relies on stupidity - against intelligence, on pathology - against health, on freaks and degenerates - against normal and full-fledged representatives of the human race.
And I dryly and objectively show that it is not a question of vilifying and denigrating capitalism, but only of objective things. Capitalism - if it wants to survive - has no other choice. Relying on the Worst in man and the Most Backward, ARCHAIC, DEGENERATIVE in mankind is its only support.
He has no other support in the modern world, you see? If he does not help degenerates to kill us, we will hunt him down with social, ecological, rationalistic claims.
And if capitalism understands it well today (where the Ukrainian scenario came from), it would be good for us, full-fledged people, to understand it.
Learn economics. Think for yourself. And do not read Western media - it is bad for your brain.

 

TL - DR but what I skimmed wasn't impressive.

The Statue of Liberty derives from the ancient goddess Libertas.

The name Lībertās ('freedom') is a derivation from Latin Līber ('free'), stemming from Proto-Italic *leuþero, and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁leudʰero ('belonging to the people', hence 'free').[2]

 

Lady Liberty (herself based on a completely different Roman deity) = the Greek goddess Hecate because . . . they are both depicted with a radiate crown . . . like countless other figures in mythology and history? I'm having trouble reading further than that nonsense.

 

So, you are volunteering to be on the spigot lol

 

No kidding. I might have read in my desktop, but phone Noòooooo waaaaay..

 

Your maximum is the comic book level. Not surprised.

That's what the western media told you. But in reality.... It is not for nothing that they put a monument to the devil in the USA in front of the 10 commandments monument.

 

Does your comment make any sense? Or is it a random set of letters?

 

If the claim was above a comic book level of reasoning, it would warrant more of a response. Needless to say, it does not rise to that level. All you are doing is basically claiming, "Hey, these selectively cropped photos look kind of similar to people who aren't familiar with the statues in question, whom they depict, or basics about Classical mythology and art."

 

The people who sponsored that statue don't even believe in a literal Satan. And their own commandments are far more moral and more compatible with our laws than the ones in the 10 Commandments.

 

I graciously accept your concession on your false Statue of Liberty claim

 

Please write sensibly.

 

You don't need to make an excuse.
