THE OBSOLETE MONETARY SYSTEM

stevedtrm:- it isnt obsolete, its just fraudulent, obsolete implies its outlived its use - it hasnt - its use it to make slaves out of us.

The monetary system has been a useful, but interim tool,

stevedtrm:- no it hasnt. Its been a fraud from the start

it came into being as a means of placing a value on scarce objects and labor.

stevedtrm:- no it didnt, we already had that, but value was in other units usch as pounds of potatoes or litres or fresh milk or, more recently grams of gold.

The monetary system of course replaced the barter system, which involved direct trading of objects and labor.

correct

However, just as there was no universal-bartering standard in the past, there is no global monetary system today.

Yes there is - gold is STILL global, but terrorist governments force us to use fake currency in many nations.

Individuals and groups, now as in the past, however, still need to exchange objects and labor for today�¢â,¬s goods and services. The unequal distribution of skills, resources and materials throughout the world necessitates global trade.

Until the last few decades, the monetary system functioned to a degree. The global population of three billion was not over consuming world resources and energy, global warming was not evident, and air and water pollution were only recognized by a relative few. The start of the 21st century however finds global population at an exponentially rising six billion,

that must be a damn low exponent for it to be exponential and only double over what - a century?.

with resources and energy supplies dwindling, global warming a reality, and pollution evident worldwide. Planet earth is in crises and the majority of world population cannot meet their basic needs because people do not have the means to purchase increasingly expensive resources. Money is now the determinant of people�¢â,¬s standard of living rather than the availability of resources.

In a monetary system purchasing power is not related to our capacity to produce goods and services. For example, in a recession there are CD�¢â,¬s in store windows and automobiles in car lots, but many people do not have the purchasing power to buy them.

That doesnt mean its unrelated to ability to produce it just means that above a certin level people cant afford them or dont want them, and this would be the same even in a fair market economy, or ANY economy.

The earth is still the same place; it is just the rules of the game that are obsolete and create strife, deprivation, and unnecessary human suffering.

The rules arent obsolete, they still serve the government very well. poverty IS part of their function. People in poverty work hard to attempt to get out of poverty.

In today's culture of profit, we do not produce goods based on human need. We do not build houses based on population needs. We do not grow food to feed people. Industry's major motivation is profit.

This would be fine if people hadnt had their share of welath stolen from them. If they had their fair share of wealth the profit incentive would force industries to serve them.

The monetary system is now an impediment to survival rather than a means of facilitating individual existence and growth.

Wrong, governments enahnce their survival by reducing the survival chances of the population. Governments consist of individuals working together.

This imaginary tool has outlived its usefulness.

It isnt imaginary

The limitations on earth�¢â,¬s population now caused by the monetary construct can be phased out. It is not money that people need but the access to goods and services.

Money already IS access to goods and services, even in THIS system.

Since humanity requires resources to exist, the replacement system should provide those resources directly to people without the impediment of financial and political interest for their private gain at the expense of the lives and livelihood of the populous. The replacement system is therefor logically a resource-based economy.

IT already IS resource based, fake currency simply means you have resources that should be yours stolen from you as banks print more of it.

This global resource based economy would be gradually phased in while the monetary system is phased out.

Utter fantasy, even if we get rid of fiat currency, resources BECOME money - milk, eggs, or gold ALL can and have been money.

All of the world's economic systems - socialism, communism, fascism, and even the vaunted free enterprise capitalist system - perpetuate social stratification, elitism, nationalism and racism, primarily based on economic disparity. As long as a social system uses money or barter, people and nations will seek to maintain positions of differential advantage. If they cannot do so by means of commerce they will resort to military intervention.

socialism doesnt need to, communism is designed not to but fails because of its disincentives to work, anfd the free enterprise system doesnt need to but does while land theft and fiat currency steals from us.

War represents the supreme failure of nations to resolve their differences.

Incorrect - war represents the victory of the strong over the weak.Weak nations and Weak people are killed disproportionately by strong ones. Even weak people belonging to strong nations die, eg US infantry in Iraq.

From a strictly pragmatic standpoint it is the most inefficient waste of lives and resources ever conceived by any creature on the planet.

There is no waste of lives. The lives of poor men are simply spent by powerful men on acquiring territory.

This crude and violent way of attempting to resolve international differences has taken on even more ominous overtones with the advent of elaborate computerized thermonuclear delivery systems, deadly diseases and gases, and the threat of sabotage of a nation's computer networks.

This is obviously anything but crude. It is highly sophisticated violence.

Despite the desire of nations to achieve peace, they usually lack the knowledge of how to arrive at peaceful solutions.

nations dont desire peace they, like everyone else desire survival and then happiness, both of which require power.

War is not the only form of violence in the developed and underdeveloped countries that is superimposed upon the populace by inadequate social arrangements. There is also hunger, poverty, and scarcity.

Hunger poverty and scarcity are more or less the same thing and are imposed by governments to give people a reason to work for them.

As long as there is the use of money, the creation of debt, and economic insecurity these conditions will perpetuate crime, lawlessness, and resentment.

Law is generally just codes made up by the powerful, unevenly enforced, to bully the poor, and any economic system involves the use of money of some sort.

Paper proclamations and treaties do not alter conditions of scarcity and insecurity. And nationalism only tends to help propagate the separation of nations and the world's people.

Even the signing of a peace treaty cannot avoid another war if the underlying causes are not addressed. The unworkable aspects of international law tend to freeze things as they are. All of the nations that have conquered land all over the world by force and violence would still retain their positions of territorial and resource advantage. Whether we realize it or not, such agreements only serve as temporary suspensions to conflict.

Correct

Attempting to find solutions to the monumental problems within our present society will only serve as temporary patchwork, prolonging an obsolete system.

Once again the system is not obsolete, but very advanced and VERY useful. To governments.

In this world of constant change it is no longer a question of whether we choose to make the necessary changes; it is now mandatory that we take on this challenge and adopt these new requirements or face the inevitable decay of our present social and economic institution.

Theres no decay. Just theft from people who typically take insufficient care to ensure theyre not being stolen from.

This is the dilemma we must face head-on, and the solutions we arrive at must fit the circumstances of the "real-world." There appears to be no other way than to update our outlook and create a newer direction by relegating the old values to past civilizations. Unfortunately, this may not be accomplished prior to the point of no return in the global economy.

The global economy is doing absolutely fine. Killing and defrauding poor people is just another arm of its enterprise.

"'But it won't be Osama Bin Laden- it will be those behind the New World Order' - Bill Cooper, on his radio show three months before 9/11. He was shot dead by SWAT outside his home less than eight weeks later, following a warrant which was issued for his arrest on 9/11 itself."

David Icke isn't very credible, but hes spot on with this statement:-

5m 16s The vast majority of people who are daily making contributions to push the world towards this orwellian global state have no idea that theyre doing that because they dont know how their contributions fit in with everyone elses, only the few at the top do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHvTy_fVdJ8#t=5m16s

Competition forces you to pass your productivity up to the richest customers in society- the governments and land lords who control land and central banks.

Stop competing. Claim welfare. Relentlessly expose those that fail to comprehend how they are enslaved and condemn you for supposedly leeching off them. You are NOT. ALL employees pass the cost of their taxes on to their customers, just like every other cost.

If you are still dumb enough to think enslavement is a good thing (you'll call it "jobs", probably)- taxes create extra enslavement in the public sector for every penny taxed from the private sector, and welfare REDUCES THE NUMBER ENSLAVED WORKERS COMPETING WITH YOU TO REDUCE YOUR INCOME because those wishing not to be slaves can survive.

THIS IS WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS ALWAYS ATTEMPTING TO REDUCE WELFARE PROGRAMS, TO MAKE YOU COMPETE HARDER WITH OTHER LABORERS FORCED ONTO THE MARKET. THE ULTIMATE DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

Got all that? Think it through and tell others. When you are ready for more detail, return here and carry on reading.

Study and THINK ABOUT THE VAST IMPLICATIONS OF the Marxist concept of "surplus value". There is a chapter on it in "Kapital". HENRY GEORGE goes above and beyond Marx, here. But meditating on Marx before reading George will help you formulate your own ideas before seeing what I consider to be Henry George's 70% correct answer to Marx's inadequacies.

I am NOT a Marxist.

Marx identifies factory owners to beneficiaries of the exploitation of waged slaves, whereas in fact the middle class (including factory owners) are, themselves, waged slaves, even if their wages come in the form of dividends from profits. The gains Marx points to are unsustainable gains while a factory owner has a temporary competitive advantage over other factory owners while the landlords and central banks steal all of the wealth over time.

Marxism is a series of beliefs of which I hold only a few. I fully advocate free markets and private property rights for capital, and this position is utterly incompatible with Marxism.

Google "utility theory" & "game theory". Explore the concepts. Get a pen and paper. Play some online poker for a while. You can do it for play money, which is probably better if you are an unhappy person with an addictive personality as a result, but doing it for real money is more compelling, even if its only a little and lose it. Poker is unlike most other forms of gambling in that the odds even out over relatively little time, meaning the game becomes more about pricing than managing uncertainty.

Google "the Nash program" for a vital economic concept.

Study maths, start low. Mathematics is the essence of all physical systems, including economic systems.

AN aqcuaintance of mine eyewitnessed the mass arrrest of apparently innocent bystanders.:-

"Had the fortune (misfortune?) to come across the tail end of a drunken situation at the end of a night out with my girlfriend in Wigan tonight.

From what we witnessed from outside a local pizza shop, a typical drunken guy was being restrained and the situation from what we saw was under control.
The police then gave the drunk a moment to cool off on the pavement while they waited...

All of a sudden in a completely un-violent and respectful manner, a friend of the offender dared to ask the question, "What are you arresting him for?"

At this point two police officers immediately arrested him... then four... then six! These police did this at the mass incredulity of bouncers, bystanders, taxi drivers...

At no point did this young lad offer any resistance bar a peaceable and civil question. (Admittedly the individual was drunk but at no time did he present himself as belligerent.)

May I point out also as a side note that this guy was not a 6'4", intimidating, monster.

Is this merely evidence of a fairly typical night out; especially in a busy town center?

The disturbingly familiar chills went up my spine after speaking to our fellow bystanders. Two American tourists who were stood beside us, admitted that they'd tried to film the situation as it originally began on their mobiles, only to be told by the police that filming the police was an offense.(?) At which point they stopped filming.

To make matters more sinister to my own eyes it seemed that the police involved had a collective age of about nineteen. The entire situation was watched by two older male police officers who made no attempt to intervene."

Counterpunch pretending that Obama needs to sanction government actions:-

On the surface at least it seems unlikely that Obama would endorse an interventionist U.S. foreign policy in Central America. Over the past few months he has gone to great lengths to "re-brand" America in the eyes of the world as a reasonable power engaged in respectful diplomacy as opposed to reckless unilateralism. If it were ever proven that Obama sanctioned the overthrow of a democratically elected government this could completely undermine the U.S. President's carefully crafted image.
