Minding My Own Mind

A Sham/An Extricating Socrates

(**A note to anyone leaving reactive, McCarthy-esque unthoughtful comments on this post: please put an ounce of effort when reading the below and note that there is the taken-for-granted and additionally direct criticism of the practice of Communism (if still dense, see: "corruption and tyranny with horrendous consequen..."). Amongst systems, what interests the mind of this piece is Greed and its justifications--the point is that for some who trade in humanity for their own surplus profit, the justification for greed and hiding from/avoidance of guilt is Capitalism, or, their own humanless-mechanical understanding of it; the systems are only the backdrop--Capitalism as an economics is not the object--and does not even inform what drives this piece. I cringe at having to have to explain myself so literally, especially when accusations are so thoughtless, like witchhunting.)

If

Communism though maybe a "good" ideal is a false concept because humans are "inherently greedy," breaking the system of everybody wins so that the ideal degrades into corruption and tyranny with horrendous consequences.

And so we are anti-communism, we are Capitalism, and a damned good system that is--So Capitialism is smarter (and/or less ignorant) in acknowledging the "inherent greed" of human individuals--so Greed is good?

Who that justifies Greed over the rule--the logic, the innate sense of, and defense of, some call it humanity--of helping yourself and simply when that is fulfilled in basic satisfactory, then helping those around, your community, is just plain Greedy. To hide behind, confusingly, some sense of "for the common good of" Capitalism, and therefore for society, my self-serving greed is Good, is an empty marketing scheme (as any marketing schemes are). It's an obvious contradiction, not a paradox, you sham.
