i've read about all kinds of socialism...i'm more familiar with fabian socialism...which is the kind of socialism i see happening in the US now.

that centralization of wealth isn't due to capitalism, at least in my opinion, it's not free market...but monopoly capitalism, a bit of irony or sarcasm in the name. it's all consolidating now, slowly and slowly...soon, we'll have one place to shop, once place to do this, and that, and it'll all be federall controlled with national id cards and such...elite families who have schemed and killed and lied to attain their power status...and they're all over the planet...more akin to feudalism and mercantilism...

i'm looking at it from the perspective of how this country was founded, and the ideas espoused during the founding of this country, in the federalist and anti-federalist papers...we're seeing the same tyranny we did before the revolution...basically exactly the same, as far as corrupt sheriffs and regional governments that create taxation without representation and no property rights...etc. the corruption is everywhere...

i wonder if any of the figureheads in the spain or ukraine had any kind of part in what you're describing, but that's something i'd have to spend a lot of time looking into...at this point in history, it's almost entirely those in power now that lied and schemed and offered false opposition or maybe even attacked themselves to blame on enemies in the past to their own populations to achieve their power, and who have sold out their country.

but now i forgot what we were talking about...so i'll stop now...this is some good weed.
