Common Sense verse Rationalism - Economic Inequality: Part 5 of 5

I was going to use argument for an equal money system as rationalization theory, but I see that this theory is dependent on what a person terms or thinks is rational thinking. One may think it is rational to keep the mass enslaved because they feel they need control. So instead of rationalism, I would like to use the saying “common sense”, as that cannot be argued so easily.

First off I would say, using common sense, that there is poverty because of economic inequality. The idea is quite simple really and is actually a common sense statement. If all had equal money much of the abuse of the world, people and nature would stop. It is common sense that if all had equal money from birth to death, poverty would reduce 95.5% if not completely end all together.

 Now what comes up with this idea, are reasons why this is impossible to do. And they would say it is common sense because it has been tried before, but in actually it hasn’t been done. If it were done it would be that way now. There are many arguments to why it can’t work, as people would say, look at all the different variations of socialism parties that do not work, or socialism is run by dictatorships. Some are in power and some are not anymore. Most all had some type of colonization as political control. But not a true communism by democratic vote, where the creed would always be, “What is best for All.” For example, is it best for All that many live in poverty and some do not? No, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Common sense shows the reasons for suffering and inequality, and shows a solution. Rationalism talks of reasons why not to change.

Fears to an equal money system: Part 4 of 5

What did they fear to lose? 

 Some gave the indication that they feared to lose individualism. And others feared they would lose proper compensation for the work they did. Another reason with people who have means, (those that have more money) like the idea of prestige that they have in there “class” and are proud of it. Thus they do not like the idea of equality so they may hold onto there idea of being special.

In my observations of the response to a solution to end world poverty, I would say that most people have become desensitized to the suffering that poverty perpetuates. Many would rather look the other way, or they are too busy trying to survive to make ends meet and they do not have the time to care or become activists. I believe that it’s because of how our monetary system is set up, in the way that people are kept too busy through low paying jobs and advertising, to make sure they do not have the time to make a difference. This allows the ones with money to make the laws that support the wealthy, and not the whole of humanity. Most people have developed a type of Stockholm syndrome.  The Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a condition or happening when someone starts to like, or even enjoy, and subscribe to ones conditions that would be labeled by an outside observer as to ones disadvantage, not to ones liking, repulsive, and which one would rather escape. We have allowed ourselves to make ourselves “believe” that we like what is going on!   Many defended their slave jobs because they now have this identity of who they are within being able to endure this. They have talked themselves into being proud of their diligence to provide for their family and feel everyone should pay their dues. They totally forget, or choose not to see, that their enslavers do not work for a living, but just plan ways to keep themselves in power by exploiting the lower classes. Another factor within keeping the Stockholm syndrome going is the drinking of alcohol, which was introduce to the slave class thousand of years ago, but this is another paper. There are of course many other factors. Religion is one of the largest corporations in the world. Most religions actually teach us to accept our Stockholm syndrome because it supports the idea of “acceptance of what is” and endurance until you go to heaven.
