Be Not Afraid. Socialism is Everywhere.

jamie

ALL GOVERNMENT SPENDING IS SOCIALISM. Every penny.

They just use that word “socialist” (often erroneously paired with “Communist” or “Marxist”) to convince you (using FEAR) that it’s better if they spend YOUR TAX DOLLARS on tax breaks for the few, the wealthy and privileged. And maybe a few for-profit prisons to lock the rest of us up in (if we get high to try and forget the atrocities done by these miserable sons of bitches who are running this country).

Most people in prison are there for non-violent DRUG POSSESSION. In for-profit prisons, many of which hire them out for a fraction of minimum wage. Modern slavery.
Why? Profit. Exploit ordinary citizens for their own gains. People go to jail, or die, but they make money. So it’s OK.

They don’t make as much money if the government decides feeding the poor, or housing the homeless is a better use of the money. Because it helps people, they call it “charity”. The only reason they give to charity at all is for the tax write-offs and PR.
They call people who need help LAZY.
They say refugees who need help are ILLEGAL.
They say children who need help are EXPENDABLE.
All excuses NOT TO HELP

Like walking past a disheveled person asking for help on the street. Don’t look at them. Ignore the problem. Make excuses not to help.

Folks, THEY blame the poor, but the RICH are the problem. The WEALTHY have set up this system to exploit us, from cradle to grave, and they keep turning the screws, hoping we die. Less LAZY ILLEGAL EXPENDABLE HUNGRY mouths to feed, equals more profits for THEM.
Pure Capitalism is CRUELTY.

It’s $38 Trillion Now


Socialism recognizes the things people need to survive and thrive, and tries to guarantee those things to all through government ownership of those resources. Food. Medicine. Clothing. Housing. Education. Police. Fire Dept. EMTs. Energy. Military defense. Research. Good stuff for ALL. Democracy decides what’s important to us.
We all chip in to make sure everyone has what they NEED to survive and thrive. Importantly, innovators can still get rich selling people NEW creations and advances. For as much profit as they can. Things people WANT. Not what they NEED to survive.

In either Socialism or Capitalism, those with more must give more. That’s the social contract.

But Capitalism must be regulated to protect the social contract. Socialism IS that contract. Democracy decides. Capitalism doesn’t go away. It just gets deprioritized over survival, and human decency. Profits are NOT more important than the social contract to help each other.

Getting rich by exploiting what people NEED to survive is IMMORAL.
Getting rich by imprisoning people for profit is immoral.
Getting rich by controlling all of the food production and constantly raising prices to ensure “economic growth” (aka increased profits) instead of eliminating hunger, is immoral.
Getting rich by sending our children off to die, protecting “economic interests” (aka oil profits, weapons revenue) is IMMORAL.
Getting rich by controlling (for profit) all of the ENERGY society needs to exist and grow is Immoral.
Getting rich by deciding who deserves medicine by how much they can afford to pay is IMMORAL.

This is NOT a RED vs. BLUE situation. The two parties are BOTH working against US, The American People. This is a HUMAN DECENCY issue. Greed vs. Kindness and Decency.
This is a HAVE-TOO-MUCH vs HAVE-NOT-ENOUGH situation. Most of us fall into the SECOND group. We should start acting like it.
Towards THEM, and especially towards Each Other.

July Fourth, Two Thousand Twenty Five.

jamie

Fourth of July.

I gotta say…I may grill up some burgers today and smoke a little extra weed (if that’s even possible). But this is not a year to celebrate freedom and liberty, when we have lost them both, our Capitol and government in the hands of TRAITORS.

We are victims of a Treasonous Coup.
Powered by billionaires and unlimited money to buy the mass media manipulation of America they needed to ‘win’. Now they seek to destroy everything we’ve worked to build, all so a few thousand rich people can get even richer.



The people no longer have representation. Both parties have overwhelmingly served the elite for years, and people’s voice has been routinely ignored to favor corporate profits and political corruption. Now that corruption has grown into total control by the most corrupt party. The party willing to do ANYTHING to win.
And here we are. King Trump and his MAGA court of violent trolls and fools.
Predictable. If you know history.

249 years ago we said NO on July 4th, 1776.
We said FUCK YOU to a King who sought to exploit us. Control us. Who sent military troops into our streets, to scare us into submission.

Today, masked secret police are disappearing people to concentration camps without due process. Troops are in the streets again. To scare us into submission.



A self-proclaimed king sits in the Oval Office. In OUR Whitehouse.


The People will serve No King nor Corporate Overlord.
Not ever.
Not in America.
July 4th, 2025. This year, it’s not about burgers and beer, and waving the flag.
It’s about purpose.

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”

History repeats until you fucking learn it.

Occupied Amerika Day 163

jamie

Life in Occupied Amerika. S.N.A.F.U. Day 163.
Seems Normal. Except for the masked secret police in combat gear, snatching brown people off the streets without evidence or trial, and shipping them off to Alligator Auschwitz, Africa or Guatemala.
STILL some of you are acting like this is all perfectly normal. How?!
It’s all fine with you? Then FUCK YOU!


No. Nothing is fine here in America. If you aren’t raging against the propaganda machine, you ARE the problem.


This is a hostile takeover by the billionaire class. They are deploying military units against the American People, in attempt to teach us to behave. To fear them. To be quiet, while they bleed our nation dry. They are counting on you to be good little sheep. They should know better.


Ultimately, they will FAIL. Because, Americans don’t behave. And we don’t want fake morality shoved down our throats by these whores and thieves.
The oppressors are few, and weak, when their money can’t buy our silence. We will never bow to kings, of state nor industry.

We are many, and fiercely strong when we stand together. That’s why they try to split us up, red and blue. White and Brown. Left and right. Any way they can. But we all love freedom. And sooner or later, troops and tanks roll down the streets firing upon citizens, and then everyone knows the truth.


This is a disgusting breach of the Constitution, of law, and the rights of The People. We must stand against the billionaires and demand our government back. Stand Up For Our Rights. Plain and simple.


Fuck their Blue and Red bullshit. We’re pissed, and we’re coming for you. For our country back.

Patriots

jamie

I’m not a subversive
I’m a patriot.

Anyone can wave the flag
While denying the rights to others
Guaranteed by The Constitution.
They can call that patriotism,
but it’s obviously a lie.
Anyone can order troops into the streets
To terrorize the citizens of the
second largest city in the country.
It’s not patriotic to deny citizens their 1st amendment right to protest and object to an unjust government.
That is not American. It’s illegal here.


Patriotism isn’t fealty to one man
Patriots don’t give a FUCK about party lines
Patriots believe in the law
Patriots believe in the rights of citizens
And non citizens
To live without government oppression
True Americans believe in freedom
Freedom means we get to choose
How we live
Who we love
What we worship.

We get to decide where we live and where we go. Americans, and visitors here, get to live without fear of illegal police detainment, searches and worse.

THIS BULLSHIT is NOT AMERICA.
Masked secret police doing the bidding of their political masters is NOT AMERICAN. This is some Soviet Nazi type bullshit folks.

These people in charge are NOT patriots
They hug the flag while ignoring
The Highest Laws of the Land.
They celebrate cruelty, not justice

The insurrection has succeeded
Our Capitol has fallen into the hands
Of traitors and TREASONISTS
Religious bigots and billionaire bullies.
Privateers. Plundering the Treasury.

Thugs and thieves stealing our money and our private information. To be used against us if we speak out.
They are destroying our peaceful way of life, with lies of invasions and crime.
Just excuses to use military force
Against The American People.
Who dare to protest the abuses
By a corrupt and toxic regime.

The invaders are in power
The Crimes are happening
Right before our eyes
Committed upon The People
By a corrupt and invalid government.
Purchased by billionaires.
Operating of, by and for, absolute greed and the extortion of the American People.

The True Patriots are speaking out against this illegal hostile takeover.
True American Patriots are standing up to the treasonous fools, who are out to destroy everything we have, just so they can drain every ounce of value, from the planet and it’s occupants.

Extract. Exploit. Discard.
The rest of us pay for their excess
The rest of us pay for their egos
The rest of us pay for their lack of compassion.
We suffer their lack of empathy.
We pay with our lives.
With the lives of our children.

If you aren’t working AGAINST them, you are helping them. You are aiding and abetting the criminals, who are out to harm all of us. You are one of them.

Silence in the face of injustice is complicity

Today’s solution 5-9-25

jamie

A lot of government grants go to businesses that make a profit. Some, profit directly from grants that enable those profits, and aside from any corporate taxes, those profits go back to the shareholders of the company or university doing the research. The taxpayer gets nothing. Zero. And we’re talking about billions of dollars in government grants and contracts.

If the research was done using government funds, the people should benefit. Whether it’s universities or big-pharma. Space exploration, internet app, or satellite communications. If taxpayers kicked in to help you create it, we deserve our share of the pie.

Profits from any research funded by the government should be distributed directly back to the people whose taxes paid for it.

If government funds were 50% of total funding, the people should get 50% of the profits. Apply this to drug research. Space exploration or energy research. Or ANY grant recipient.

How do the people get paid back? Profits get put into a budget that MUST be used for direct public assistance. A monthly paycheck paid directly to every citizen, prioritized inversely by income level.

When there are no more poor people, the rich get a bigger share of the funds. When everyone is wealthy, the rich get 100% of the benefits. When everyone wins, we all win.

Look, ‘Trickle-Down’ is a lie. We know that. When the poor have more, they spend more, and the rich will make more profits selling it to them. Everyone wins.

Starving people by continual, planned inflation without corresponding wage growth, in order to make an extra 2% profit per year is pure stupid. Don’t even get me started with gouging and price fixing. The wealthy have many tricks to transfer wealth from YOU to THEM. It’s evil. People suffer and die because of their bottom line.

In the end, no one can afford to buy anything, and no one wins but a few overpaid fat cat profiteers, hiding behind the faceless corporations that run our lives. The middle class disappears, and just about everyone feels like they are struggling.

Sound familiar?

It’s about all of us.

jamie

The American people have been at war for 23 years. It’s not like previous wartimes we’ve faced. The enemy is not a sovereign nation, but faceless evildoers wherever they may hide.
The consequences of this war are also different, but very clear. Strain on the very fabric of society has pushed our democracy to the edge of failure, as politically stoked violence from within consumes a divided nation.
Gun violence. Hate crimes. Violence against immigrants & citizens alike.
We need unity above all.

This is about all of us. This isn’t about party, as much as about who deserves to benefit from America. The elite are trying to convince us that giving them all the money is best for us (because we would just waste it).
So they divide us up, every possible way they can. Stoking division, so we blame each other for everything, when it’s really just a few rich fuckers that are the whole problem for the rest of us.
They’re SO DESPERATE that we don’t figure it out. There’s WAY more of us than them.

You Dirty Commies!

jamie

They want you to be afraid of Socialism and Communism because they would hurt the 1%. The ones who make the rules. Our owners, as George Carlin would say. Because the answer is simple. They would have to give up some of their wealth to make the system more fair.

They pulled a switch on us.
They took our legit fear of certain autocratic Communist and Socialist regimes, and turned it into a fear of communism and socialism. The Cold war fears of Russia, China, and Cuba, thanks to the valid threat of nuclear annihilation, became a fear of Communism and Socialism.

They told us to be afraid of corrupt autocratic governments that took away the rights of their citizens, who might lob nukes at us. They used those fears to make us afraid of the economic theories that attempt to redistribute wealth more evenly, and make things better for the common folks. Why?
For One Reason:
To protect their wealth, power and control.

But it’s not the appropriate-ism that was ever the problem with China or Russia. It was the autocratic part. The corruption. Because corrupt autocrats seek to limit freedoms and take away rights.

And the nukes. Don’t forget the nukes. We now know that Communists ALL want to nuke everything good.

Socialism and communism are actually about social justice. They are about ensuring basic needs for people as human rights. They are about freedom from hunger and disease. Equitable distribution of wealth and goods. For all people, not just the ones who can afford it. Nothing to fear from, unless you have WAY too much and you’re worried someone will take it away and give it to someone in need.

You could actually make a better case that Capitalism is humanity’s grand problem, because of the inherent inequality and exploitation. Greed without controls or conscience is a recipe for mass cruelty. Capitalism is out of control in America, and Congress is complicit.

They want you to be afraid of Socialism and Communism because they would hurt the 1%. The ones who make the rules. Our owners, as George Carlin would say. Because the answer is simple. They would have to give up some of their wealth to make the system more fair. And THEY are the insatiable rich, who thirst for more no matter how much they already have. Gluttony. Greed. Capitalism. All one in the same thing.

Democratic Socialism is just capitalism with a conscience. Let the rich get rich. AFTER the rest of us are out of poverty. AFTER everyone can see a doctor and not worry about the bill. The important things that everyone needs must be a available to all. Owned by all. Not profit centers for the rich and shameless.
You can still make a killing selling people shit they don’t need…after we guarantee that everyone has the shit they DO need. Science says if you end poverty, crime is virtually non-existent, while productivity and knowledge increase…along with happiness.

Increased happiness goes a long way to solving social problems of all sorts. From shoplifting to school shooters. Happy people with their needs met (physical and psychological) don’t do that shit.

Yes, this is the picture I chose. #selfie
