Vote for Balance
Well, here we are on the verge (or past after 11/07/06) of a promising election. A republic, by any standard is a balanced government, something that a single political party domination is not. So, I hope that, anyone that happens to read this post between now and election day has learned enough on my site to recognize that liberty can only come as a result of balance, not as the result of the domination of one party over another.
-I hope to see our government become balanced in this election.
What I do not want to see is a tyrannical landslide to the other pole. I do not want to see a G.W. Bush impeachment congress. To me that is petty and ignorant. The United States is dependent on foreign oil more than any other nation in the world. We do in fact need to manage the flow of oil from a strong position, though I am not convinced that exercising the military industrial complex, ignoring renewable energy technologies and driving inflation sky high by massive spending in non-wealth producing areas, not to mention behaving illiberally and belligerently toward every other nation in the world, is any way to be strengthening our position (see Caesar's Commentaries for an experienced view of political power). The current president belongs in a far distant past century, but he does in fact represent a balance, even single handedly. None of the policies on consumer credit, war, border fencing, debt, international trade or international citizenship are of any benefit to the wealth production in the United States. The problem is that the legislative power and the executive power have been in the same hands, which is a huge no no in any government that lays claim to being a republic. And it is the 'republican' party doing it - of course. Is this irony or pure barbarian cynicism. I believe it to be the latter and not the former. Eliminating balance in the power structure of government simultaneously eliminates reason or concern for any other faction or fraction in the country.
I have not been able to generate any interest, so far, in the idea of a Capitalist Party, but I intend to continue to pursue this idea, primarily because it is the only way for a republic to ever happen. For now we must remain a tyranized state. Anyone interested in the platform of this political party is welcome to contact me to be a candidate. The only branch of government that this party will prefer to back, however is the Senate - Local, State or National. In addition, it would be strategic to assimilate both the Libertarians and the Greens.
The Libertarians, obviously, because they understand the policies outlined by Milton Friedman with regard to education, medicine and capitalism in general, which includes both ideals and goals. The Capitalist party, however, I wish to be goal oriented and not ideal oriented (except the capitalist idea, as it is a strong position against tyranny). Libertarians, in many areas have been successful in obtaining followers and members and our views are, at least, parallel though the Capitalist party is more centrist and based upon concerns for the here and now and not some future state. If there is one underlying goal for the Capitalist party it is to establish a system of legislation that allows capitalism as a system of wealth production (Wealth being the sum of necessaries, conveniences, luxurys and 'arts and sciences' in a nation) to flourish. In this I understand us to be coincident with the Libertarian Party.
The Greens for nearly opposite reasons. There is another contradiction of Capital other than the laborer-consumer one pointed out by Mr Marx, and that is that Capitalist production also would like to have the cheapest starting materials available as well as the most, to take advantage of neoclassical profitability opportunities. In an under regulated world, Capitalism is forced to expolit resources in the callous and oppressive manner that it is accused of by the world's variety of naturalists. If one business does not take advantage of an opportunity, another will, so a competition for consumption of all potential resource bases persists unabated. Is this due to greed or simple need? If one arm of the Capitalist party includes the Greens contingent, in a balanced and rational forum that selects for a few members of this party that actually possess knowledge and a capacity for reason, policies that regulate resource use can emerge that solve for both current demand and future demand. As well as future innovation, which species diversity represents the potential for. Fully and sincerely pursuing this path as a government function, rather than a dysfunctional business policy will endear a large sector of the 'organic' population to the Capitalist party.
The Libertarian faction of the Capitalist Party serves to pursue the conceptual prehensions - the reasons and ideals necessary to promote Capitalism and the 'aristocratic' class of society as distinct from either the political or 'monarchical' class and the labor or 'democratic' class of society. The Green faction serves to pursue the physical prehensions- a sustainable and reasonable use of resources, which keeps the wealth producing nature of capitalism real and viable. The primary faction of the Capitalist Party, should be the myriad capitalist producers and businesses in the country, whether the sourcing, the manufacturing or the retail components. The Capitalist party also includes the legitimate financing businesses that support the growth and maintenance of Capital.
Financial Capital only excludes those investment vehicles that incorrectly assume that money is capital and deserves a profit (or interest in its archaic form). This truism ended 30 years ago and is currently false and highly detrimental to real capital. Bonds, Stock, Entreprenurial capital and such vehicles that represent actual ownership and carry part of the liabilities of ownership are valid investment vehicles. Money, being nothing more than a governmental promise that a value on one end will exchange for the same value on the other end, does not possess value in between. If a payment need be granted for this service it should be to the government since it is a government service, and not to the lender of the money (or credit). Those who advance credit for profit are mistaken in the belief that the money they lend deserves an interest. While they do deserve to earn a profit for their service, they should look elsewhere than 'interest' to realize their reward. Gold was a form of capital since it was a real tool that required physical labor and capital equipment to extract and purify. Hence it held real value. As an economy grew and the demand for gold increased, its profitability also increased, hence its value was a real and a natural value. Credit offered today represents nothing of the sort and can be expanded indefinitely, which causes inflation and diminishes the marketability of domestic products, not to mention domestic labor. Hence Capital is required, under such an arbitrary and tyrannical system, to quit its country of origin and find more stable and reasonable nations within which to produce wealth. Nations which today seem to be China, India and Mexico.
Well, I only meant to promote the balancing of government in this blog and got carried away a little bit. Take this information to the poles with you when you go to vote. Vote for individuals instead of parties, where you still can, work towards a pro-domestic business Senate and a democratic House of Representatives. Do not elect fanatics that want only to impeach presidents - no matter how insane they (the president) might be... These are the policies of objective reason, which needs to become the hallmark of the Capitalist Party if we ever wish to become a true Republic = a tripartite balance of power.
VOTE: UNITED STATES CAPITALIST PARTY!
