Fighting Capitalism With Capitalism

By: Richard Daughty, The Mogambo Guru - The Daily Reckoning

As one more bit of proof that the education system of the United States is a dysfunctional piece of liberal crap, how else to explain the fact the far-leftist moron Michael Moore actually got funding, which assumes an interested audience, for his latest movie, titled Capitalism: A Love Story, which, according to Reuters, “launches an all out attack on the capitalist system, arguing that it benefits the rich and condemns millions to poverty.” Hahaha!

Well, to be fair, it is not capitalism that condemns millions to poverty, but instead the poor are doomed by the destruction of the purchasing power of the little bit of money that they get and things cost too much for the poor to afford them, and which is deliberately caused by a government so stupid (audience shouts out “How stupid, Wonderful And Wise Mogambo (WAWM)?”) that it deficit-spends money on the poor to alleviate their poverty by allowing the Federal Reserve to produce large, persistent expansions in the money supply with which to buy up the government debt, an expansion of the money supply which erodes the purchasing power of the money, so that the little bit of money owned by the poor doesn’t buy as much!

If the education system of the USA were not so egregiously bad, he would know that fact, and everybody would know that fact, and so when he went to some producers and said he wanted them to finance a new documentary about how capitalism is evil and (I assume) communism is good, they would have laughed in his face and said, “Hahahaha! Where did you get such a stupid idea? Are you some kind of moron?”

Or, alternatively, he could have saved a lot of time and just come to me and asked me and I could have told him, “Hahahaha! Where did you get such a stupid idea? Are you some kind of moron?”

Unfortunately, he did not learn anything from all of that, and actually has the movie concluding that, unbelievably, “Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil. You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people, and that something is democracy.” Hahahahahaha!

The use of the extra-long “Hahahahahaha!” is my clever way of indicating that this is where a Junior Mogambo Ranger (JMR) who has achieved even a glimmer of True Mogambo Enlightenment (TME) starts laughing in Sublime Mogambo Scorn (SMS)! Hahahahahaha! Just like that! SMS! Hahahahaha!

I thought I was calmed down and was reaching for a bottle of something alcoholic so as to deaden the pain of my stomach hurting from so much laughing when I started laughing all over again when my eyes again fell across the idea that democracy replaces capitalism! Hahahahahaha! I never heard anything so stupid! Hahahahaha!

The first thing that comes to mind, of course, is “Did democracy finance his stupid documentary, or some capitalist?” Hahahaha!

Beyond that, the mind reels! While we are at it, why not replace the production of expensive gasoline not with democracy, but with a super-majority voting system? And we could heat our houses with gang rule! And we can replace expensive food with some dictatorship! Wow! There’s no end of what you can do if you are willing to be ridiculous! Hahaha!

The dismal fact is, in case you were wondering, that capitalism in free enterprise is the only hope that the poor have, if not by sheer dint of theoretical argument that creating jobs is vastly superior to government handouts, then by the complete lack of any successful enrichment of the poor by any other method, mostly because they involve the government creating more and more money which destroys the purchasing power of the little bit of money that the poor had.

But since we Americans have decided, with a stupidity that absolutely staggers the imagination, to prove, once again, that exact same, sad, sorry lesson repeated and repeated over 4,500 years of history, then investing becomes easy when another lesson from that same 4,500 years of history is to own gold!

In fact, it becomes so easy that you can’t help but giggle, “Whee!”
