Anarcho-capitalism, economic slavery, and social collapse

I guess I want to document some of the "less important" news that has been going on lately.

The world economic situation is getting more and more dire. People all over the world are loosing everything, and nothing in this life is free. Unemployment is going up at a staggering pace. The economy continues to worsen, and it's not just in the united states but world wide. The government and economy of Iceland completely collapsed, and it seems like it was just the first of many more potential disastrous social collapses. The government is now trillions in debt, thanks to george w bush, it seems obvious that historians will place him rather unfavorably amongst the ranks of hitler, stalin, and chairman mao as one of the worst political actors in world history. The media has been covering the situation EXTENSIVELY, and now incredibly large sums of money are thrown out in terminology all the time. Trillions here, hundreds of billions there. The government is about to take over banks, and nationalize health care, hundreds of billions of dollars are now everyday conversation for the citizens of this fine country.

I guess I'm still proud to be an American. It was founded on such great principles, yet has still not operated in the right capacity.

Is the golden age of human development over? Looking over the skyline of cultural cities of the world, it seemed like there just had to be more, but perhaps that was the best is was going to get. I try to look towards more optimistic views, and pray that singularity will come to pass in my lifetime. It's just a matter of money being put into the right industries and institutions, who will use the money to evolve society- eliminate war, disease, famine, and every other problem human's frail and inefficient minds create for themselves as a species.

Corporations, in some ways, are changing as well. At first, when everything started to go bad, it seemed as though only the strongest and richest corporations would be able to survive in the current time, mostly from the governments giving them billions in spite of the obvious fact that a lot of them are about to fail and have 0 chance of success- essentially everyone knows that the money the government gives them will basically be wasted on CEO payoffs. It was scary to think that the only surviving institutions would be the most powerful of corporations, and along those lines it seems obvious that the only remaining power would be the only government left, and I don't want proctor and gamble, coca cola, and mcdonalds ruling over me.

These corporations already rule over everyone.

The reality, is that we are all slaves. Looking back at history, we think of slavery as so obviously negative, and obvious to the human eye. Historically, we had people in chains, being whipped, sexually assaulted, and forced into a whole life of servitude. Yet there are millions enslaved right now, in fact wikipedia says there are more people enslaved at this moment in time than at any other time throughout recorded history. If you want to be a part of everything modern society has to offer, then you have to work for a living, and you have become a slave to whomever or whatever profits off you and your work. Today, anarchists, socialists, and communists alike see existence as "wage slavery" or "economic slavery." The reality is that humans are forced to choose between selling their labour and facing starvation, poverty or social stigma and a lack of prosperity. This is related to the notion of economic coercion. If you don't play the game, you can't win- you'll be homeless in 2 months, and that's real. I've never met anyone who always gets to do exactly what they want (except the few people I knew in the past with millions of dollars, and they were miserable because there was nothing left to want or desire, which makes them passionless, but that's another story).

Again, we are all slaves.

I don't understand where all these hundreds of billions of dollars have gone. Somebody has to have it, or at least know where it is! How did all this money disappear. I know that money isn't real, and is in fact based on faith, at least in this country, but just as the government chants money into existence, money is too desirable to be chanted out of existence. Someone is skimming off the top. Someone has it. We should find them and kill them. I always see signs that say "eat the rich" and it sounds like a good idea, because I'm starving.

Overall, people are getting more and more desperate. The social collapse of western civilization is imminent, and has been going on even though our society dwells in ignorance and escapism. Hopefully, now can be a good time to change some things for the positive, instead of pumping tax money into dying industries and institutions that are no longer relevant, and stand no chance of evolving in a free market system. Right now could have been a time of unparalleled prosperity, not just for the united states, but for the whole global community. They did it to themselves, it's not our fault, and we shouldn't feel bad about them failing. That is, essentially, the core idea of free market capitalism- only the strong will survive, ultimately their production becomes the most efficient, and serves the most amount of people the for the cheapest cost. In some ways, it's sad, because it seems like the basis of human achievement, the pinnacle of human development, was all due to corporations, because they were the only institutions with enough money (hence power) to actually create anything.

Humans, I have noticed, are a lot like piranhas in a feeding frenzy. Humans consume, until there's nothing left to consume. If you happen to be weak, or not be the best fit for the environment, the humans around you will feed off you until there's nothing left. It works the exact same way through natural selection in nature; humans are after all, animals. When you're in the middle of the street, screaming fire while being jacked and beaten up by 3 people, nobody will come to help.

Because this is how humans are.
