Guns Would Be a Novelty Item In a World Without Capitalism, Not Weapons for Assault or Defence.
The root problem is not guns, it’s capitalism. In a society with continuous disconnect, competition, struggle, strife, rampant poverty and inequality, our kids are not raised in the proper Loving environment. Struggling parents send their vulnerable kids off to daycares and schools beginning at a very young age to be raised by other struggling adults that have themselves been brought up into this capitalist mindset of money, jobs, rents and taxes. In everything we do, we approach with a unquestioned mindset of ‘money’.
Just about every single negative thing I see going on within myself, others around me, and all around the world is directly caused by capitalism...from marital and family problems, to health problems, social problems and crime...such as violence, burglary, robbery, theft, rape, murder, and yes, even kids shooting up kids and teachers at schools. It’s the lack of quality ‘time’ with our children that creates the psychological and emotional problems and disorders. We lack the necessary ‘time’ for proper participation, interaction, guidance and supervision during our children's most important developmental years of social interaction and growth. We’re not there to monitor and guide our children during their learning years of playtime social interactions and studies. This is why we have bullying, fighting, depression, isolation, self mutilation, suicide, lack of self-confidence, etc. Our ‘time’ must be freed up to bring our kids up properly. This capitalist system must be changed in order to heal the damaged human condition and society as a whole.
Everyone’s minds, emotions and consciousness has been programmed since childhood to never recognize or question this systematic generational programming. It’s much like the metaphor of the movie The Matrix, anytime someone wakes up (or is unplugged) and finally recognizes the deep rooted flaws of capitalism and tries to show or tell others about it, suddenly the people we try to tell become like Agent Smith, they are having an ‘Automatic Emotional Response’ that has been programmed into their minds since childhood by parents, teachers, friends, peers, bosses, coworkers, government, law, news media, movies, tv shows, ads, commercials, video games, social media, etc., etc.
The base mind programming was installed, programmed or indoctrinated into our ancestors a long time ago and passed along from generation to generation. People must begin to recognize this before we can begin to heal our broken society, otherwise it will keep getting much worse as the inequality grows and the elite class use their massive wealth to buy and further control politics, financial and social laws so that they stay in power.
The basic resources needed for everyone to survive and live comfortably are available in ‘abundance’, but the problem is that the elite controllers of this world have claimed ownership of those resources. They have put us all against one another in this contrived system so that we are distracted from recognizing the true problem, ‘capitalism’. They keep us fighting against one another based on political affiliations with deep-set opposing views that are rooted in the thought processes of capitalism. Everything people argue or debate about is based in the construct of money, “how much is that gonna cost”, “where are we gonna get the money to pay for that”, etc, etc., instead of realizing that those things, those resources, are already in existence and available in abundance regardless of money, money is a roadblock that holds those resources back from us. The capitalist system is designed to use up most of our ‘time’ chasing money with unnecessary 40+ hour workweeks. We are forced to pay unnecessary rents, mortgages and bills to banks and corporations that have claimed ownership of all of our lands, homes and resources. We are born into a form of slavery, not with chains, but with debt.
These debt roadblocks are holding back our true potential of thought, innovation, creation and growth, as individuals, and as society as a whole. With a debt based system it’s difficult to freely explore and find out what we as individuals are truly passionate about because of the restraints of money, or lack thereof. With free education we will have the freedom, time and ability to explore any and all fields of study we want, to find out what our greatest passions are, and then bring those passions to the world for everyone to benefit from, whether it be art, music, technology innovation, teaching, or a multitude of fields. We can be so much more! We just need to make the resources available to everyone without the need of money.
Abundant resources are available for everyone in the world, we just need to separate them from traditional money. Our mind programming has falsely made us believe that those resources are scarce, they are not. Some resources are finite but that’s why we need to manage them more responsibly instead of thoughtlessly wasting them in a landfill. We would still have those finite resources in abundance as long as we properly manage them. Our main life sustaining resources, like food, are available in overabundance, it’s just that ‘money is a roadblock’ holding those resources back from us.
Me doing a quick job (let’s say repairing a car) to make some quick money doesn’t magically, suddenly make more food appear on the store shelf, that food is already there in existence, in abundance...so are clothes, homes, utilities, roads, cars, electronic devices, health & hygiene supplies, household supplies, etc., as well as communications towers & satellites and the rest of our infrastructure that our ancestors and ourselves have worked so long and hard to create so that life can be better for us and our future generations.
Our technologies have enabled us to produce that abundance, we produce abundance with little to no human labor. Now we just need to end capitalism and begin bringing those technologies to all sectors of production and services to free up even more human labor so that we have more quality time for social interaction and growth. I have written a little about my proposal of a transitional system to easily end capitalism on my website if you want to read about it:
Life’s Optimal Virtuous Economy (LOVE), or the LOVE System.
If we change the whole organization process of all the resources, everyone will be able to live in comfort and abundance, and have more ‘Time’ to raise our children the right way, with Love, compassion, empathy, decency, respect, and a greater passion for community and cooperation.
The elite don’t seem to realize that even their lives would be so much better in a world where inequality and poverty doesn’t exist, they would have more authentic and Loving relationships, not having to wonder if someone is trying to use them for their money. The elite are not really truly happy, they just don’t fully realize it because their money provides them momentary and temporary band-aids of synthetic happiness, it’s not real, but subconsciously their hearts and souls are deeply longing for real, authentic connectedness and happiness. Currently, when they do feel the unhappiness, they use their money to try to buy happiness, which is just a crutch and a temporary false sense of happiness. But we can change that, and bring happiness for them and everyone, we just need to bring about a positive system change.
Once we change the system we can have a much better and happier world. A new system will enable us to create a much better social environment for everyone. Within a generation we will have healthy, happy, kind and Loving children without the negative programming ‘we’ currently have. We can and ‘will’ create a kind of utopia or heaven on Earth. All we need is for more people to become more conscious and aware of themselves, everyone and the world around them.
This mass awakening ‘Must’ happen very soon, or we will end up in another dark-age where it will be much more difficult to heal our society and our planet, if it’s not too far gone by then. Please expand your mind, heart and spirit and look at the world with a new set of eyes, a new awareness. Once you truly see the bigger truths it’s hard to unsee. Once you see it, then do everything you can to kindly help others to see it too, it’s the number 2 most important thing we can do to fix this broken world and heal the human condition...the number 1 most important thing is to Love One Another, and Forgive. But our current system doesn't allow much room for Loving one another because we are forced to struggle and fight for our own well-being, forcing us to turn a blind eye and turn away others in need because we don’t have the ‘Money’ or ‘Time’ to help, so we are forced to become apathetic to others pain and struggle, denying our most powerful natural human traits, empathy, compassion...Love! Let’s Not stuff it down any longer! Please, let’s Heal Our World, Our Children, Ourselves, Our Society and Love One Another! We CAN...We WILL Do This!
I Love You!
