“If you often wonder why ‘free market capitalism’ feels like it is failing despite universal assurances from economists and political pundits that it is working as intended, your intuition is correct. Free market capitalism has become a thing of the past. In truth free market capitalism has been replaced by something that is truly anti-free market and anti-capitalistic. The diversion operates in plain sight.

Monetary Fascism, as conceived by Milton Friedman, uses the powers of the state to put the interest of money and the financial class above and beyond all other forms of industry (and other stake holders) and the state itself. In democracies and first world nations this is achieved through lobbying, campaign donations, financial incentives, revolving door regulators and through other means. As such, the state is coopted into altering regulations / legislation, diverting investigations / prosecutions or creating tax loopholes for the benefit of the financial class/ industry. Ultimately these actions undermine states sovereignty.

The foundation of Friedman’s corrupting principle (‘Monetary Fascism”) is that the investor (money to be more precise) has no duty, obligation or covenant to anyone or anything. Friedman’s ‘Market’ is not subject to ‘any’ human standard of morality, political limitations or national interests. Money is free to act without bounds or conventions. Nothing is prohibited as long as the market can provide a “clearing price”.”

So why am I telling you this? It helps to be educated. Monetary Fascism rips patriotism, Country, fellowship, collegiality, indeed basic humanity away from the facade of the American Identity to expose what you’ve always suspected: Money rules with decisive prejudice. Private wealth trumps, country, citizenry, noblesse oblige, even fundamental welfare for the lesser amongst us. Smart people fight that godless slimy tide. Republicans embrace it. To the republican, middle class America is a ‘cost of doing business’ that must always be minimized to maximize top tier profits. You are cattle to them. To compound matters, you right wing buffoons put a bankrupt con-man gameshow host in the White House on the promise that he’ll “drain the swamp” and make government work for the little guy…again. A tax cut for the rich masquerading as a health care bill, deadly deregulation, ignoring global warming all with the robust support of all 3 republican branches of government. Do you still believe? Or are you starting to learn? You are being played like a Fender Strat…suckers to the end.

Never, ever forget that.

“…[T]he plunder will continue, lives will be discarded the angry mob will continues to grow. As we approach critical mass the fear is setting in. The remaining upper middle class and middle class fear losing what they have, while the recently disenfranchised desperately cling to their faith in Friedman’s ‘free markets’ in the hopes of redemption. The faithful double down on their own demise, while the ranks of the dispossessed swell. Every one of us has become a bit player in our own tragedy.

We are at the end of human evolution, we have become chattel. We are conditioned to the service of those with money, who only seek to enlarge their store of money, to beget money, for money’s sake and nothing more. The future is grim.”
