100 Children Have Been Shot In Philadelphia So Far This Year, Police Say

Here are some fresh news, illustrating the new phase of the financial and moral degradation of the United States: Fresh ominous US records.
1. Crime reports across the country are collected with a delay, but individual cities submit them quickly.

2. And what about the older generation, the "millennials" (whom we have long dubbed the "meat generation", for the generation as a whole has no other perspectives than slaughter)? Almost 39% - more than a third! - returned to live with their parents due to financial difficulties in connection with the consequences of the fight against covid 19 (but really in connection with the recession that began in 2019) https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/3...-covid-19-recession-has-them-moving-back-home
3. And what about those who like to receive social benefits? The management of social funds is sounding the alarm - forecasts say that the money for benefits will be exhausted in less than 10 years, after which the funds will be empty. And these are over-optimistic forecasts made on the assumption that their assets are liquid. And what kind of assets are there? Are they derivatives of real estate bubbles, as well as US GKOs? Both are now just a supplement to the Fed's printing press, so mid-term liquidity is not questionable only if measured in waste paper - dollars. And if in something real, for example in a kilowatt-hour or the same Big Mac, many questions arise https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/07/politics/social-security-medicare-trump-payroll-taxes/index.html
4. And how are the rich and the megacities? New York reports that since the onset of covid-19 and / or the crisis, for which the blame was blamed on covid 19, 5% of the population has fled from the city, and much more have fled from wealthy areas - up to 40%, and despite the softening of measures they return back not in a hurry.
The reasons - a wave of crime (street shootings in July are almost 3 times more than a year ago, an increase in murders by 59%, robberies by 31%, and in rich areas the growth is more than in the city on average), economic decline, risks of social chaos ...
The governor of the state has already stated that this will become a big problem for collecting taxes and the budget - because only 1% of the population pays half of the taxes, and if this percentage has fled somewhere, the question arises - how to plug the hole in the budget and how to pay expenses? http://endoftheamericandream.com/ar...roves-as-the-city-degenerates-into-a-hellhole
Capitalism is dying. The future belongs to the communist society. What is happening now, at the beginning of the last century, was well described by Vladimir Lenin (a genius man. There was no other equal to him and there is no other. The only person in the history of mankind who not only substantiated and created the theory of the development of society, but also did it in real life) in his work "Imperialism as the Highest Stage of Capitalism", as well as in his work "State and Revolution". Read Lenin and you will know what is happening. And why so and not otherwise.

 

We've had a 100 years of monetary socialism, because that is exactly what the federal reserve and central banking is and this is the root cause of our current day high inequality along with corruption & cronyism. It's not free market capitalism that caused inequality but socialism.

If communists think I'm going to sit here, understand that socialism is at the centre of this mess, then go... "oh dear look capitalism suck", they're delusional. Besides I'm a Boer, we're the ultimate free market capitalists and the biggest haters of Imperialism, this is why the English committed genocide on the Boers. Free market is NOT what we have today, we have cronyism & corruption. The communists are trying to paint capitalism as corruption & cronyism so that we will embrace their totalitarianism... they can go and suck an egg.

Now I also like to point out that those societies who do have communism, have far worse human rights and in particular children's rights abuses than free market countries. ie South Africa, the only country in the world where children joined the #Metoo movement. Children are raped in their thousands and NO ONE says anything...in fact when I did say something the left painted me as a white supremacist. Femicide in South Africa is the highest in the world with a women killed every 3 hours and raped every 3 minutes. Communist China have millions of women in prostitution, far more than free market countries... they then try to school us on our human rights.

 

During the last quarter of the nineteenth century economic inequality was at least as high as it is now. The Federal Reserve did not exist until December 23, 1913. Economic inequality has increased since the inauguration of Ronald Reagan because the tax system has become flatter, labor unions have become weaker, and the minimum wage has not kept up with economic productivity.

 

How many of these 100 children were age 14-17 and part of a gang?

 

Actually I think the real reason is that American workers have begun having to compete with foreign labor in the global marketplace.

 

The crime is in the cities that have liberal and socialist Democrat mayors. If that's what the people living there want, then so be it.

 

I think the problem is globalism and the exporting of our industries to nations with lower wages. This is probably what Donald Trump foresaw, and what he's trying to undo. He's being fought all the way by the one world order freaks like George Soros and the other ideologues like the Washington Trotskyites, etc.

Russia suffered for 70 years under their Soviet predecessors, and now they want to impose the enslavement on us.

 

You are absolutely not familiar with what socialism, capitalism, imperialism are.
I advise you to read Lenin's book - "Imperialism as the Highest Stage of Capitalism". There is no propaganda in this book. This is 100% scientific research. If you read this work, you will understand that capitalism is the lowest level of imperialism. And you will understand that the transition from capitalism to imperialism is inevitable.
Here is the link. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/
As for socialism, this is the lowest, underdeveloped stage of communism, which has retained the rudiments of the old system. Such as money, for example.
I beg you to read Lenin's work. It is short and easy to understand. I would be very interested to hear your opinion.

 

In real life, it does not matter what political views the authorities have in this or that city. It all depends on the economic condition of the country. Lenin pointed out that being determines consciousness.
The rise in crime is a consequence of the economic collapse, but not the political views of this or that group of politicians.
And I can repeat - this is only a pathetic beginning. It will get worse further.
Capitalism has outlived its usefulness. And if not a passion for human freedom, then the growth of scientific and technological progress will inevitably destroy capitalism. It will become simply impossible to use the capitalist system of social management.
This is already impossible. But the oligarchs will oppose the development of society with all their might. Just as in their time the aristocracy opposed the development of capitalism.
I already wrote, but I will remind you again. Historians write that the transition from the slave system to the feudal one took 700 years, the transition from feudalism to capitalism took 500 years. There were successes, such as, for example, the Milan Republic, the Venetian Republic, where at one time capitalism won, but then there was a rollback to - feudalism. This process was called a recession. Take France - Napoleon - republic and capitalism, then monarchy and feudalism.
For the first time, capitalism finally triumphed in Holland. But the civil war there lasted 86 years. Look at the map - microscopic Holland and 86 years of civil war.
Another example. Communism first triumphed in the city of Paris alone and lasted a little over a month. Then there was a rollback to capitalism. But the second time socialism (and we remember how the classic said - socialism is the first, lowest stage of communism) won in 1917 in Russia and lasted more than 70 years. At the same time, he controlled half of the world.
You must understand that when the process of building a new society takes place, some mistakes are inevitably made, so a rollback occurs. There was no example. Everything has to be developed for the first time. So it was with feudalism (transition of 700 years), so it was with capitalism (transition of 500 years), and communism is no exception. But the process of transition to a communist society is objective and inevitable.

 

Most cities have had Democrat administration since the 1950's?????But the violence hasn't reared it's ugly head

 

Violent crime peaked in the early 90s, when it was about twice what it is now.

 

in the widespread and frequent rioting and looting as we are seeing nowadays. Way too many guns on our nations streets with it being easier to buy a gun in most cities than it is to buy cigarettes. This was continued from previous post.

 

During the last quarter of the nineteenth century we had imperialism (which saw the rise of the works of Lenin and Marx)...small elite ruling over many poor... we're heading in the same direction especially if we're embracing communism. My point is as follows;

It is the con job of the current century to portray the problems (inequality corruption & cronyism) of our current day circumstances as Free market capitalism, this have been done deliberately in order to make people reject Free market capitalism for Communism BECAUSE it ALWAYS ends up as totalitarianism (Karl Popper taught us this), This con job are run by those same "group of people" who are at the top of the pyramid in the social Monetary scheme (the Fed) & those pushing the formation & corruption of Democracies over the last two decades.

You don't like my answer so I'm not familiar with...

I have Lenin's book on my reading list, but it's rather extensive to be honest (the reading list)

Just a note, the reason WHY the theories of Marx & Lenin have never been able to work ANYWHERE is because holistic social engineering always ends up in totalitarianism. (Refer Karl Popper)
Now you can argue... no no...this time will be different but since we've had a 100% rate for totalitarianism (refer the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, South Africa) and 0% for making the transition to text book Lenin and Marx, I have to go agree with Karl Popper.

 

One blatantly false statement after another blatantly false statement. There is no evidence that legal firearm owners are responsible for what is occurring, nor is it easier to acquire a firearm than tobacco products. Tobacco products do not require filling out governmental forms or undergoing mandatory background checks on their acquisition, nor is it illegal for a convicted felon to purchase, possess, or otherwise use tobacco products.

 

Destroyer - I believe in total freedom, and that no one should impose their ideals and values on others. Everyone should be able to maintain their own standards, traditions, religion and language. If there is any growth to a more equitable level socially and materially, then it should be at one's own pace and within one's own's inherent and cultural uniqueness.

This requires of course small governments and individual freedoms, so that no one will be trampled on by a majority - or by those who see themselves as arbitrators of right and wrong, or of what should or what shouldn't be. I'm against all impositions material, social and otherwise, whether it's under capitalism or communism.



I dost believe that to be free
we shouldn't give our guns to thee.
And thus protect our house and home
from all of those, who like to roam,

like animals so angrily,
and tellest us so blatantly,
that we should never dare to stray,
for only they should have a say.

And thus they push us on our knees
to worship not as we so please.
But their own gods of lust and greed
and all the things we shouldn't heed - Jeannette

 

Most have no fathers, and one has to pity the mothers, who have been trying to keep them alive from the police and other gang members. The anger was only towards the police, but without them, they are faring a lot worse.

You okay with a 4.57 minimum wage?

 

I respect your opinion. But since you have not read the works of Lenin and Stalin, I will not argue with you.
I can only say that the key point of the communist (and socialist, as the lowest and primitive stage of communism) society is the lack of private ownership of the means of production.
Therefore, when you refer to the authors who talk about the alleged "socialism" of the FRS or some other kind of supposedly "socialism" while all this is within the framework of the socio-economic system with private ownership of the means of production, I understand that you are referring to fake research. There can be no real socialism or communism in the presence of private ownership of the means of production.
And I want to add right away - the lack of private ownership of the means of production does not mean that the entire economy is exclusively state property.
There is a good historical example of real socialism and fake socialism in the same country of the USSR.
1. Real socialism under Stalin.
There is state property, as well as there is public property that does not belong to the state - called artels. (For information, artels produced 90% of furniture, 93% of footwear and clothing .... and so on. There were artels that were engaged in research activities .... In general, in the USSR under Stalin there were more than two million artels.)
And by the way - GDP growth in the Stalinist USSR was over 30%. No country in the world has had such a growth in GDP either before or since.
2. Fake socialism under Khrushchev and after him.
After Stalin, the Trotskyist Khrushchev came to power in the USSR, who banned non-state property, that is, banned the artels. This was the Trotskyist dead-end branch of "socialist" construction.
Khrushchev also introduced the Kosygin-Lieberman reforms, which introduced self-sufficiency and the rate of profit, that is, surplus value - that is, a purely capitalist mode of economy.
This immediately led to a total deficit and a drop in production and living standards.
In addition, Khrushchev abolished the dictatorship of the proletariat. But Lenin also wrote that if you eliminate the dictatorship of the proletariat, then its place will instantly be taken by the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, whose role in the USSR will be played by the bureaucracy. Which is exactly what happened. The result is the collapse of the USSR.
But pay attention - the bourgeoisie of the whole world is still afraid of real socialism (Stalinist socialism).
It is this fear that still pushes anti-Stalinist propaganda (as you know - "Stalin Teran")
But throughout the USSR (14 republics - Ukraine, Russia. Berousia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan .... etc.) in the most "terrible" year of 1937 there were 1 million 189 thousand 92 prisoners. And this must be understood in the historical context - after the civil war, after the intervention of 14 countries against the USSR, after the Soviet-Polish war ... before the Soviet-Japanese wars, before the Soviet-Finnish and before the Second World War ... in devastation and famine, during the period of many gangs ...
And today. In the peaceful USA, who have never fought on its territory, the number of prisoners is 2.4 million. But the tyrant in the Western media for some reason is Stalin.
Or Britain - 60 million Hindi tortured by hunger, completely (one and all) Tasmanians exterminated, hundreds of millions of exterminated Indians .... concentration camps for the Boers .... etc. They are not tyrants. But according to their media, the tyrant is Stalin.
Belgians in the Congo. They cut off the hands of children so that their parents would work better on the plantations - not a tyrant. But the tyrant in their media is Stalin.
The Japanese, who kill 36 million Chinese according to their data (according to the Chinese, 43 million) are not tyrants, but the tyrant Stalin .... and so on.
In general, you are an smart person, so you must understand what anti-Stalinist propaganda is. And why does she still thrive so fiercely

 

That is, do you think that fascism, Nazism, racism ..... totalitarian religious sects .... cannibalism (as is traditionally accepted in Papua New Guinea) ... should also freely and without restrictions be confessed and promoted?
What about sexual slavery or pedophilia? By the way, now it has calmed down a little, but quite recently in the Scandinavian countries the propaganda of pedophilia as a norm of behavior was very fierce. This was stipulated by one condition - the consent of both. Is this also freedom of expression for you?
I understand what you mean. But my examples, hyperbole, suggest that any freedom in any society will have some kind of restrictions.
And if all person in their right mind opposes slavery, they why does such a person not oppose the exploitation of man by man?
Are you familiar with the concept of "surplus value"? This is 100% capitalism. But if you are for human freedom, then why don't you oppose capitalism?

 

Forgot to mention.
Remember the basic foundations of socialism.
1. Lack of private ownership of the means of production. (this is the basis in economics. Without this, talking about socialism is ridiculous)
2. The dictatorship of the proletariat until the complete victory of communism and the creation of a classless society. (This is a political basis. Without this, talking about socialism is absurdly)
3. The power of the councils and the election of these councils (this is the basis of socialist management. Without this, talk about socialism is stupid)
If someone talks to you about socialism, but at the same time does not talk about these three factors, you should know that in front of you are a liar.
Therefore, all the arguments about the socialist FRS or some other pseudo socialist institutes of power are deceiving the reader. And all such statements have nothing to do with real socialism, but are intended to discredit socialism.

 

Then I would opine that the people voted in better leaders back then than they do now.

 

Fine...don't argue with me but I'll say this,

a) comparing what is going on in the world right now to Free Market Capitalism is a lie.

b) Current high inequality levels worldwide were caused by corruption and monetary socialism. Central banks keep printing currency and issuing debt (thus creating more currency) this is causing inflation of asset prices like shares and property. Those who do not have assets get poorer, those who do have assets get richer.

In Free Market Capitalism this type of inequality would not happen. Because the free market would always opt for decentralised money and if money is decentralised the free market will choose the scarcest, most fungible, divisible, transferable and portable medium, which are gold, silver, gold back paper or crypto currency, Bitcoin. If you can't print unlimited amounts you can't inflate asset prices to current levels means you can't create the inequality that we have today. Thus Free market capitalism is not only the solution to our problems today, but the ONLY solution that will guarantee our freedom.

c) Even if you try to create an Utopia, Karl Popper tells us holistic social engineering always ends in totalitarianism.

d) Commercial farming is impossible without private property rights. Commercial farming will feed many millions more people than non commercial farming. You need large amounts of capital, usually the property is used as collateral. if you own no private property you have no collateral.

e) private property gives the people control of production and in doing so it lowers the power of the state, reducing the ability of the state to oppress & control.

f) private property is the most important guaranty of freedom - Friederich Hayek

 

Once again - socialism is the absence of private ownership of the means of production. To write about the policy of monetarism or something else and call it socialism is nonsense. In principle, there can be no monetary socialism. Socialism is the lowest stage of communism, and communism implies the complete abolition of money. As well as the complete cancellation of political classes.
Do you understand that you are absolutely not familiar with the political and economic foundations of socialism and communism? Do you understand this? Your arguments about socialism similar are the arguments of a deaf person about the work of Tchaikovsky. Or a man who was blind from birth - about the work of Michelangelo. Do you understand this? You call socialism that which has nothing to do with real socialism at all.

 

The problem is the EASY ACCESS TO GUNS!!! It is easier to buy guns in most American cities than to buy cigarettes. The vast majority of the children are well under age 15, and are just playing in their home neighborhood when people in cars pull up and start shooting indiscriminately. The vast majority are black on black shootings, at least that's what they are in Philly, one or two young children shot and either severely wounded or killed every weekend.
