All of these things I've written are random notes and ideas I wrote in my notebook.
==========================================================
Humans constantly evolve and take advantage of certain things. Conditions can constantly be improved if one is willing to progress. We are very unique in this as a specices. Thus the possiblity of war being abolished, poverty being abolished, and anything else being abolished is in our reach so long as we remain progressive. That, at least, is something that is proven.
Thinking on subjects of the question "Why were are here" is idiotic because there is no answer and never will there be one. Your life is your own and you have the right to live it. A government has no right to interfere in you living your own life. Your profession is yurors to choose and nobody has a say on it.
There are certain things in this world that need to be protected. Corporations may do as they will until it begins to affect the enviorment or the social structure in an overly negative way. We cannot stand by and simply let stuff like this continue but we also should not interfere if it is not neccesary. Factory workers in Bangledesh are no exception to this. The United States of America shouldn't exploit those less fortunate in other countries simply because they can. It is immoral and no different then the factories were in the beginning of the industrial revolutionThose living in the slums of Beijing are the new "Child labor" They are cheap and expendable, just as children were considered back in those days. It is no more moral then child labor because both children and foreigners were considered worthless.
Communism and most forms of socialism, as originally envisoned, can never be realized because Karl Marx never took into the account that people can be greedy and will not follow the rules. The only way to make it the way they want is to excercise authoritarian control over the citizens. However, that is when socialism begins to defeat its original purpose. Fighting Authoritarianism in all its forms is the most important thing we must do. More important than any other issue. More important then world peace, more important then world hunger, poverty, protecting the enviroment etc. etc etc. Protecting literature comes at a close second but they really go hand and hand because if freedom of thought is repressed for long periods of time, eventually literature will be destroyed. Even if it takes a long time.
Corporations should have no say in government. Money has a strange way of influencing policies that could be benefical, perhaps not to corporations, but for all of us. That is perhaps the worst thing about capitalism. The corporations are primarily concerned with making money rather then the interests of humanity and social responsiblity. This, unfortunately, is human nature.Corporations cannot be beaten down in order to submit to the will. They should instead be enticed into doing the moral thing. This could working by giving them money. Bribing them. Replacing their profit with profit and keeping them satisifed.
