Government Industrial Complex (GIC)
Military Industrial Complex = Government Industrial Complex (GIC).
The only consumer of the military products of industry is the government and it is only for government purposes. Taxation to pay for it is an onus placed upon Real Industrial Capital (RIC). Since all military contracts are governmental, these industries are defacto government industries and not actual capitalist industries. The contract bidding is market driven, but there is only one consumer, so it is not a market where price regulates demand, it is more a market where demand accepts any price, especially since the money is not earned by the government from the manufacture and exchange of goods and services. Ultimately, the government industrial complex is a socialist form, where government completely controls manufacture. While the argument can be made that these industries are not owned by the government, it can also bring into question who the government is.
Wars today are engineered by the CIA, which serves as the marketing firm of the GIC. The majority of government spending is on war and the maintenance of a 'soldier reserve' through the welfare state, which would not exist without the fallacious institution of interest on fiat money. Fiat money, or money which retains value only as a consequence of governmental authority and not as a result of it being or representing actual capital, is not capital and as such is not eligible to collect profit (as "interest") in a capitalist economy. It could earn a tax, but then that tax would be paid to the government not to private individuals who own credit card companies (stock therein) or banks. By charging such interest, real capital is steadily losing value and power to governmental power, which is simultaneously promoted by the pseudo-leftist ideology promulgated by so-called Marxists. The steady weakening of capital and the total corruption of interest lead to a steady diminishing of employment opportunities, as there is inadequate capital being invested in domestic production of goods and services and most 'money' being invested in the illegal expansion of consumer debt, no jobs, interest on debt and diminishing supplies of domestic products together conspire to impoverish individuals and force them into military and government occupations (which can also afford to pay higher wages).
If one follows who is on the board of directors of these banks, government industrial complexes and usually oil companies, it is all the same people. Are these individuals the oilgarchs who run our socialist state? Government collects over two thirds of the social product, capital and social security battle it out for the remaining third. This would be a reasonable arrangement if human beings were not all "specification fanatics", but a balance of power is the only just, rational, or functional system that has ever been found to work for human civil states. States where power has concentrated into the hands of the few are not functional, just, or liberal states. They are tyrannies. And the absence of investment capital available for renewable energies and energy efficiency technologies is proof of that. The constant manufacture and 'growth' of war is another obvious proof that government is not there for the people of this nation.
The fact is that Capital needs a political voice, and joining the party of the GIC is never going to be a good idea. Joining the party of the common folk, is also not a good idea. That leaves only one alternative....
