Capitalism : A Strange Ideology In A Strange Epoch. by Nobody: 9:13am On Jul 31, 2014
Capitalism : A strange ideology in a strange epoch.

Before diving deep into how Capitalism has become invalidated in this epoch of ours, it is important we have a few knowledge of the theoretical explanations of cretion and counter-creatio n.

The science of creationism and dialectism explained that everything in the world is created out of necessity.

That is, for a person, ideology or institution to have come into existence at a particular time and at a particular place, such person, ideology or institution have a purpose, a mission and a vacuum of want, which it must occupy. And it is the fulfillment of these needs that ultimately necessitated creation.
This stand is further explained by a branch of philosophy called Existentialism.

The further knowledge of this stand however reveald that though necessity gave rise to creation of everything, yet abrogation, invalidation and disuse of things is brought about by necessity.

That is, a person, ideology or institution came into existence through necessity, at the same time, there will be a moment when the existence of person, ideology or institutiön will no longer be needed.

Necessity of discontinuation is majorly caused by supernuation.
That is, when a person, ideology or institution has become either too old to carry out its original function, produce more of negative than positive inputs, or has outlived its time and thus gravely and virulently struggling to maintain its status quo withing a more sophisticated era.

Undoubtedly, Capitalism is a typical example of an ideology that has outlived its era but virulently and benigerently struggling to keep imposing its status quo upon a more sophisticated world order.

Indeed, Capitalism lost its prime when it began to place enterprise above the state, and then ultimately see excess value(excess profit) as an end, and that must be reached at whatever cost by whatever means. And worst yet, Capitalism began to use the indomitable power of enterprise to control government, so as to formulate and maintain policies that promotes their sentiments.

In the history of the world, the epoch of Capitalism has caused and still causing the most terrible wars.
The epoch of Capitalism has produced the highest number of poor people in the world.
The epoch of Capitalism has caused more damages to our environment and our world.
The epoch of Capitalism has created the widest gap between the rich and the poor.
The epoch of Capitalism has created most terrible complications and tension filled relationship among Countries in the world.
And lastly, there have never bein a time such as this epoch of Capitalism in which man is so morally blighted, misconcepting the idea of"survival of the fittest"to believe that profit and wealth must be achieve by exploiting the weaknesses of his fellow man.

What worsen this situation however, is the hypocrisy of the developed Countries.
While they have come to realize that Capitalism has outlived its time of necessity, and thus forging a quasi Capitalism that they often named after their Country e.g America Capitalism, Chinese Capitalism, British Capitalism, Japanese Capitalism etc etc Yet, they forcefully preached to underdeveloped or developing Countries Capitalism in its purest form. This is done upon the knowledge that it is only through this purest form can they cöntinue to exploit the markets of the under developed and developing Countries, and then repatriate profits to their own Country to keep developing it at a blazing pace.
Capitalism have outlived its time of necessity. It have no solution to the present comlipicated problems of the world, except to aggravate it.

The everly observant citzens of the world at EOC does not however seek to totally abolish Capitalism. We but seek to modify it to suit this new epoch characterized with deadly rivalry between the rich and the poor, between the privilege class and the less privilege class.

It is this effort toward modification of a new order that indeed led to the creation of Amityism. A synthesis of Capitalism and Communism.

Necessity is truely the mother of invention. And no human in his right senses should allow his self to be subjected to a gravely sick and supernuated ideology.
