Humans can only thrive if they’re free.  The state wants to deceive you into believing that you can be free if you submit.  The state is indefatigable in its prophecies.  The agony of the people is always predicted unless they submit.  These failed false prophets are then glorified.  Peace is the mother of all things, not war.  Peace can only be established if you don’t submit to violence.  The state wants you to believe violence leads to peace.

The suppression of freedom happens under all sorts of names.  The supreme authority disguises its action, but they all basically mean the same.  Socialism, communism, Marxism, fascism, stakeholder capitalism, conscious capitalism, fill in the blank capitalism, etc.  They’re all statism or collectivism.  Don’t be fooled by names and terms given certain meanings to arouse emotions.  The state is the supreme authority in all of these.

These terms are thrown around to fix the alleged deficiencies in capitalism.  Capitalism is just humans freely interacting.  So, the call for these is to fix the deficiencies in you.  Marx has a ten-point plan to bring about full socialism.  The so-called defenders of freedom are calling for the exact same.  The only way to defend freedom is allow all people the ability to cooperate unhampered.  The so-called defenders of freedom are statists in disguise.

Little remains of the market today due to the effects by those claiming to be for freedom.  They’ll continually prophesize about how the world will end.  In other words, give them more money and power.  That should at least raise a few red flags or set off sirens in your head.  Follow the money.  Entrepreneurs will go out of business if they don’t satisfy demands.  The state will lay claim to more money.

Capitalism is the supremacy of the consumers.  Other names may be used, but it’s the supremacy of the state.  Problems are created by the state, and then blamed on humans voluntarily cooperating.  The state can then come up with a solution to the problem they created, which will make things worse.  The state will do everything to deceive you so it can have more power and money.  Decrees will be added on until there’s no room for freedom.
