Market Fundamentalism Is The Flip Side Of Communism
In Communism, the needs and dignity of every individual are
subverted to the needs of the community. The problem is that
the community is made up of all the individuals. That's why
it sucks to live under Communism.
Market Fundamentalism, the religion of our current
administration, is exactly the opposite. In Market
Fundamentalism, the individual is
supreme, and the needs of the community are subverted. The
problem is that all the individuals are members of the
community. That's why it sucks to live under Market
Fundamentalism.
You get screwed under both systems. The only difference is whether you get screwed individually or collectively. We need balance between the needs of the community and the
needs of the individual. That's the way the world works.
More of a good thing is not necessarily better, especially
when it ends up crowding out other good things.
