JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - THE STRUGGLE AGAINST CAPITALISM AND ITS COMPARABILITY PARADISICAL RELIGIONS. FINIS.

 

As for making the world a more peaceful one, well, the Obama Administrations could be credited with avoiding or delaying war between the United States and Iran. 

But they made up for it by more than enough military campaigns in the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan. 

And they did much to build the foundation for the bloody war which is now being fought in the cities and countryside of Ukraine. 

Between the latter and its Nato/EU allies, on the one hand, and the Russian Federation on the other.

Most or all of which can be validly explained using the architecture of Capitalism and the anti-capitalist forces opposing it. 

Bernie Sanders was not only a much admired champion during the heady and exciting 10-12 year period of 'Obamism.' 

Sanders was the most radical and apparently 'progressive' 'mainstream' political figure during that period. 

Of course, some might argue that BS, notwithstanding his apparent radicalism, is more of an 'establishment conservative', in that he is better known as an opponent of 'big businesses.' 

Rather focusing his fire on entrenched politicians and lobbyists inhabiting the Washington Political Swamp, and probably being funded by some or many of the 'big businesses' Bernie have been targeting.

It is, as the saying goes, complicated. Bernie Sanders writing a book to tell people that, 'it's ok to be angry about capitalism', is, it seems to me, an acknowledged of failure. 

Of his failure to make more progress than he had hoped or intended, in his struggle to make the United States a better place.

Being 'angry about something' is not enough.  Unless you are saying, I am angry about it, but I know that I cannot do anything to change it. So I am acknowledging my limitations and acquiescing to its existence.

This, I have concluded, is likely to be the conclusion of both those Capitalists and the Anti-Capitalists who are the most informed and pragmatic. 

They are likely to be aware of what might be the almost natural, 'irresistible attraction' of the acquisitiveness Capitalism to contemporary humans. 

Of how capitalism, in its desire to survive, will and has changed and transforms itself and evolved and continues to evolve into something different from what it had been at different periods in its evolution.

Than as an example of any success which such struggle can achieve.

I see no likelihood of this ever changing. Indeed, it does appear that the acquisitiveness of Capitalism is in tune, in synchronicity with the aspiration, the quest of 'modern', contemporary humans to possess and own things. Material things, and endeavour to express ourselves through what we 'possess', 'own.'

It follows then, that the prudent approach towards Capitalism, is probably not to oppose it per se, even though this will most probably be the option adopted by radical activists. 

But rather that of finding and implementing ways of making it, Capitalism, work better for the masses.
