I am the Center of the Universe.
I am the only one that matters.
I am more important than you.
This is how we have all been indoctrinated and conditioned in recent years. Money, status, power and ego above all else.
Individualism, achievement, being a success, competing and fulfilling one's potential are all just euphemisms to sanitise our selfish desires and narcissism.
If you have the money then get someone else to do your chores, sleep with you, work for you, and then throw them a few crumbs and pat yourself on the back.
If it looks good and makes money then that's all that matters - to hell with the consequences.
Act like a whore, thug, Lord, Lady or princess - who cares if you can get away with it because success is all that matters.
Throw a few crumbs to those undeserving poor folk - they are poor because they deserve to be.
Let them eat cake!
What is prohibited by those who make and keep the laws or rules of such a deviant capitalistic society ? Behaviors that are deemed detrimental to the interests of the powerful bourgeoisie upper ruling class. Although such laws or rules are set for all to abide, the bourgeoisie are rarely punished to the same extent of those who are of the lower classes. These laws or rules which serve mostly the bourgeoisie are held in place by force and not by the consensus of all people.
Aside from all of those who are quite content with their substandard servile existence, humans want to live a good life, but such a living in this bourgeoisie controlled society requires more money than most can afford. Poverty resulting from such a system prompts major discontent and crime. Many lower class criminals commit crimes as a way to improve their plight. The ruling class or their laws cannot exist without the crimes and poverty of the lower class. Lower class criminals keep the laws active that in turn allow the ruling class to maintain the existing social and economic order. The lower class also serves as a serf workforce for the bourgeoisie upper ruling class thus allowing them to reap most of the rewards of someone elses endeavors.
Why would the deviant upper ruling class even consider the peoples requests or demands to be fair and just ? They have a lot to lose by granting such requests or meeting such demands and will use any means possible to quell dissidence, suppress free speech and keep the people they view as serfs in a fearful, often angry disorganized state of being. Henceforth the division of race and political party loyalties that blights all of the lower class, even if they are in the same sinking boat.
No matter the political party, or whos voted in or out, the deviant capitalist system cannot be adjusted or bandaged and kissed to make the boo boo better. Only the complete elimination of such a system can allow all people to live better lives.
Such a debate could go on until those cows that use to come home, die and never come home again. These debates could prove productive in some way, but within an advanced capitalist society, free speech and differences of opinion are not always spoken or expressed upon the most level of ground. Those who speak against the deviance of the bourgeoisie upper class are often demonized and deemed unpatriotic, or worse, branded as an enemy and punished.
Words inspire as well as herald change and can muster, but a large rock that has rolled down and blocks the path can be kicked and pelted with verbal scorn to no avail. It is only when people come together and push that rock down into a deep ravine will the path be open.
Really, who thinks the upper ruling class or their well rewarded loyal servants feel any remorse at all after telling the grumbling, stomach growling, more vocal factions of the lower class to eat cake ?
