Capitalism is a half-truth, Marxism is the opposite half-truth

It is so simple, really. You'd have to be willfully ignorant if you
are an academic economist - which means fundamental economics is your
SCIENCE AND YOUR LIFE - not to notice the obvious.
Trade, in products and services, is clearly a good thing. No need to
go into that. However not all trade is necessarily a good thing, and
that's where modern academics already falls off the cliff of knowledge.
In general, you trade in what you make, then the system of trade works.
But what about trade in things you do not make ? Such as: the Earth.
What about the problematic effect that for-profit money investment has:
it is most profitable when the workers are denied as much as possible
their rightful share of profit.
To cut through the whole theoretical economics, which though interesting
in principle is probably only going to be boring for most people, here
is the activities we need to change (conclusions from true economics
theory as briefly hinted at above, not the lies and ignorant deceptions
academia has spread throughout the world):
- Land. Land all concentrated under a Government gives Government a lot
of power, which is not necessarily a good thing. Land can be
distributed though, and trade in land can be restricted to lease
contracts (which, by the way, is what the Torah law also does, like
it or not.)
- Money. To cut away the problem-effect noted above, money needs to be
invested not bleakly for its own profit, but with "good goals" in
mind. How to force that principle into the investment system: the
most obvious way is a truly democratic state, paired with an active
population who is motivated to take care of itself and its economy.
Another obvious source is "good causes," people who have organized
and donate money for the sake of making their economy / community a
better place for everyone. These two things can complement each other,
and there is even a business model possible there, which can -
paradoxically - be profitable (for services rendered, not for money
sucked out).
- Government. For above mentioned investment scheme, the Government
needs to be democratic, without holding back. The right-wing will
lose, the left will win, and then we can forget about party-politics
altogether.
- Businesses. For the trade mechanism to work, it must be dynamic. There
must be new and free upstarts possible, to fill in where new markets
emerge and become profitable. Although a free enterprise system
demands freedom, a business already established and breaking away from
its starter should fall under another economic principle: you own your
own work. If you own your own work, you can trade it in freedom. That
is what a trade economy means: you own your own work. That means a
company (of significant size at least) that loses its starter, should
come to "own itself." This will create a fair and just (normal) labor
trade for company management. No longer the insider trade between
greedy investors, the starters they chose to fund, and the non-starter
take-over company owners (sometimes the share-holder vampires
themselves). But the employees simply attract company leaders that
they trust, and the employees decide the pay-rate. Because it is their
production, they own their own work, and will share part of that in
return for adequate management functions.
I think in the new system business managers will actually feel a lot
better, too. The antagonism is more or less gone (I hope). It is more
"us against the competition," or "us for the costumers," instead of
"the boss and bank against the employees," and "the ruling classes
and their right-wing political whores and deceptive media against the
People and Justice itself."
Quit your love of ignorance. Don't think you can win, you're already
beaten. In the end, whatever happens, the truth always wins. If not
by making things right, then by laughing from the side when things go
wrong. haha ha.
Let's forget about the ignorant past, and work for a better tomorrow
today. If not, you'll a pay the price for sitting on your hands when
action was called for, by continuing to leave this beautiful world in
the hands of who currently has it in its power.
