I wrote this article below on another site where I was anonymous so I let my emotions write it. Economists could pick it apart, but the problem with their harsh 'rational reason' is that you also end up with their version of the meritocracy which they then use to justify slave labour in the third world. They also use the meritocracy as propaganda to get people to accept poverty in their own countries by blaming the poor for not being hard working or entrepreneurial enough. Here's the article I wrote:

Something has got to be done about the über rich, no one should be allowed to become a billionaire or anywhere near it. People with this much money can control governments and harm our society. If someone comes in my house and attacks me I will expect the police to do something about it. If the mega rich wreck our country to make themselves fortunes then the law  should act in our interest.

Now the mega rich have every right to do as to wish with their money, and they can offshore their companies to china if they desire because we live in a free country. But we, the public, should also be allowed to have a real democracy and be able to put reasonable tariffs on cheap goods brought in from china and elsewhere which destroys British jobs. 

Some will argue that the cost of consumer goods, like electronics, will go up. But should we be buying goods made by slaves and desperate children in third world countries? Increasing automation will bring prices down.

The über rich are the master devil and they will say that by putting stiff tariffs on imported products poor people in the rest of the world will suffer. But if they are really concerned about the poor then why not have a wealth tax at 90% on people that earn £millions per year to help the poor in the rest of world and in our own country.

The 'meritocracy' is right wing propaganda and economists are the agents that are used to spread this neo-fascism. Economists preach about benefits of the meritocracy and say that if people work hard enough they can get themselves out of poverty. But the very poor who work on the plantations in many third world countries work all the hours that God sends but they still don’t have any money to be able to get anything going.

The so called ‘meritocracy’ is BS; but like all propaganda there is some truth to it. If you are poor you are told to work very hard and if you’re lucky you can start your own business too. And then you have the right to exploit other people below you because you are told that you are providing them with jobs and that they would starve and be homeless unless you gave them work. But the system allows them no other way to look after themselves as they can't go back to the countryside and grow their own food because other people, mainly the rich, have taken all the land. In desperation they are forced to work in conditions that anyone else would find depressing, and many of them are on antidepressant drugs.

The ruling class have used propaganda to make people believe that the poor are poor because they don't work hard enough. But unemployment is engineered into our economy on purpose by our rulers to keep wages at rock bottom and so it doesn't matter how hard we all try, someone has to fall to the bottom. No wonder so many give up?

The libertarians and ordinary conservatives are fools who allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the ruling class. Perhaps they don't care or they really do like to über rich to have it all because their philosophy is built around the 'meritocracy', which is the propaganda that the Over Class have spent £millions on to get us to keep working harder and then to blame ourselves when we fail, rather than blame the system which is rigged by them and stacked against ordinary people.

Schoolchildren are constantly graded to make them feel that they are not good enough so they will blame themselves when they aren't successful after leaving school. All through life they taught to accept their lot and not complain. They are told that the rich are rich because they are clever and they are poor because they are not. This keeps the masses in their place and very subservient. Some will even gladly go to war and die for the ruling class who they idolise and honour them.  

I can remember being at work and siting around a table with management and we were discussing how we could improve the company. I saw everyone offering ideas hoping that their ideas were better than everyone else’s. But it felt to me that we were all really just pretending, and that we were all completely fucking bored out of our wits with the place, and with the utter monotony of it day in day out.  And I wondered if everyone else was like me and would sooner be anywhere else rather than here. I would look out of the window and see the beautiful blue sky and yearn for freedom. In my imagination I saw green fields and the seaside.    

I thought I would never see the end of that utter monotonous boredom but I had a nervous breakdown which was the best thing that ever happened to me. I then became too ill to ever work again so I looked into to pension and saw that there was enough to retire?  Now although l am now far less well off than I used to be I get to spend  much of my time working on my hobbies and practicing mindfulness for therapy, something I never had time for in the past.   

I’m one of the lucky ones because although  the capitalist system sucked everything out of me to make the über rich their expected massive profits, I was l left with little something in my pension. But the old system that was hard fought for by working class people in the past is now being slowly dismantled because of the ‘meritocracy’ – i.e., right wing propaganda – which being put in its place instead. This is to screw the public even more while getting them to accept even more crap.
