THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM (OR OUR CURRENT DAY APPLICATION OF THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM) IS FAILING US (OUR CITIZENS) TODAY

Dated 15th October, 2024.

Historically it was the Africans and Chinese and Indians and people in other countries around the world who capitalists used as slaves for profit or sold opium to for profit.

Then capitalist countries have built empires and subsequently given those countries independence.

Today capitalist countries have evolved as the dominant world economic and political force led by the USA and UK. Technology has produced a totally different world to what the industrial world produced from a farming/feudal system.

But today technology combined with total and absolute desire for money has produced massive wealth for a very few and today leaves increasing numbers of our own citizens failing in the modern society.

We have the following problems which are increasing in size each year:-

  • Drugs (fentanyl and cocaine and other illicit drugs).

  • Depression and mental health.

  • Suicide.

  • Homelessness and the very poor “in our own citizens”.

  • Increased and excessive Gambling/Drinking/Smoking.

  • Addiction to the internet and social media and influencers and celebrities.

  • Obesity and poor diet leading to low esteem and poor productivity as well as depression and mental health.

Recommendations

  • More effective regulation of technology and the companies that develop different technologies particularly in respect to social media entities and AI as it develops.

Review our political system:-

  • The party system and the parliament as constituted today no longer works as effectively and efficiently as it needs to work to meet current day demand.

  • Misinformation/disinformation/fake news – very easily today confuses our citizens.

  • We must elect to our parliament intelligent compassionate persons who have a 20/30/40-year vision for our country and the world and its people and not political parties and career politicians who aim to be elected and re-elected but who are unable to think outside the current system which today continues to fail more and more of our citizens every year.

  • Teach at a preschool level (2 years to 5 years) that all drugs are bad for you and that it is good to be both confident in yourself and kind and compassionate to others. Encourage all very young children to be leaders rather than followers in life.
