The so-called “Two Party System” in The United States is really two sides of the same coin. Both political parties serve the interests of the corporate robber barons and politicians, who have become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices. History shows that big business and big government can collude to keep profits flowing to the former and contributions flowing to the latter. Some in the system will benefit from this criminal form of profit and will defend the system because of it.

Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

American “Capitalism” is an unfair system of exploitation. It injures the immense majority for the benefit of a small minority. Profits and interest are tributes which the masses are forced to “pay” to a class of idle parasites. This kind of Capitalism is the cause of poverty and must end.”

Some American people love to wrap themselves in American ideals — equality, liberty and justice for all — yet perpetuates a society that aggressively denied those ideals to certain citizens through segregation and repressive law enforcement and judiciaries.

THE UNDENIABLE REALITY: As it spanned the globe, capitalism drove indigenous peoples from their lands, put slaves to work on plantations in the Americas, and reduced eastern European peasants to a second serfdom. The US empire just followed in the footsteps of Britain and other European imperial forebears; such as colonial annexation, temporary military occupation, or overt military intervention

“The undeniable fact is that American Capitalism was built on the genocide of the natives and the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor people, of any color, here and abroad." “It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.”

Capitalism, left to its own devices, ALWAYS leads to monopolies and greed in the hands of the few who manage to rig the system in their favor.

THE UNDENIABLE REALITY “It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.” Wealth inequality in the world, also known as the wealth gap, is the unequal distribution of assets among residents of the world. When can we start talking about the fact that exorbitant profits are merely unpaid fair wages? An ideal distribution of the world’s wealth is one that assures that no individual human being is entirely without the means of housing and sustenance. Most of our past and current “Economic Systems” Kingdoms, Feudalism, Capitalism etc etc create Poverty, Greed, Violence, Disease, and Environmental Destruction "There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." ~ Frank Buchman aka (Franklin Nathaniel Daniel Buchman) ~ Decorated by the French and German governments for his contributions to Franco-German reconciliation after World War II. ~ Born June 4, 1878 Pennsburg, Pennsylvania ~ Died August 7, 1961 Freudenstadt, West Germany

THE UNDENIABLE REALITY that Americans people refuse to accept is that: Has never been about Trump or Biden, or the Republicans or Democrats; it the so called Right and Left, because both are the faces of the same coin. “More like 0.1% of regular ass humans tricking the rest of us into fighting among ourselves while they rob us blind.” ~ SanchoRG, Texas ~ Nov, 2021

The fault that most men fault in other, They haue it in their owne selfe so sore That they can scarce abide it should be tolde, Yet of their fellowes in it take no hold. So let vs all be wise and not be too hasty To condemne others, but rather let vs learne To amend our owne faults, and so we shall Be sure to escape reproofe at the last.

What Capitalism, Communism, Feudalism, Socialism, Fascism and other ideologies have in common is an assumption that some very wise people—like themselves—need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.

“Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment... But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times.”
