This was a reply I posted in GLP in a thread which was basically bait, about economics and this reply got me banned from the website. There is no free speech on GLP. It's highly controlled propaganda which only allows discussion if it reinforces the ideology they promote.
If you study history read about the great depression and how America got out of it. In short, the communists and socialists who traditionally were rival political groups, found common ground in opposition to the establishment crony capitolists, and this was back in the 30's when people voting, actually mattered. So the communists and socialists formed one gigantic political pack and they started putting pressure on the politicians in washington demaning serious systemic change in order to make things better for the people. So by the end of the 30's the rich were paying 94% tax on any income above $10,000 and that money was being put into public projects which benefited the people. This ushered in decades of economic booms for the public and the middle class thrived. The golden age of the 40's and 50's was only possible because of communism and socialism in the USA.
The wealthy elite didn't like paying 94% taxes obviously and they used their power and influence and wealth to change things in their favor. All through the 60's you had the red scare where communism was demonized. Even to this day even in this forum in this very thread you see people who are violently opposed to 'those commies!' because the propaganda of the 60's was so effective. The policies of the 30's which got us out of the great depression, were all undone and in the following decades things went into decline again. The 70's saw serious inflation, gas prices spiked, and a few dacades later a series of booms and busts destroyed the middle class. Today we have the worst wealth disparity that has ever existed. The rich have trillions of dollars, more money than a human could spend in 50 lifetimes, the middle class is gone, and the ranks of the poor wellfare class have swelled to epic proportions.
We are at a point now where if we don't swing back in the direction of communism and socialism which benefits the masses and away from the extreme form of capitolism which only benefits corporate executives and globalist bankers... well, you will see a bloody revolution in which the so called elite are torn apart by bloodthirsty mobs and their mansions and skyscrapers will be sieged and burned to the ground. when the rich have everything and the poor have nothing then people have no reason to support the system and will seek to destroy the system. It's an imbalance of wealth which causes severe civil unrest. The powers that be know this. Why do you think they militarized the police and bought billions of rounds of ammunition and built concentration camps everywhere.
