She said, Yeah, go on. Call me a ‘socialist’.

Okay, you socialist 😉

There is nothing to be ashamed of if you were called a socialist because you stepped in to help another human being where the profitable capitalist, who paid fewer taxes than its stingily paid laborers, has failed. But at the end of the day, this is really all about kindness and compassion, which should be the cornerstone of any social and economic system, belief system, and lifestyle.

Laborers are the consumers that spend on the products they helped make. When there are concerns about the market not doing well, it is because of declining consumer spending due to factors; such as the stingy and profitable company that is given generous government tax breaks and then writing out bonuses and generous paychecks to themselves while at the same time writing out stingy paychecks to their laborers, and executing layoffs.

There is a synergy between market performance and the stingily paid taxpaying consumers who spend most of their paychecks on the ever-increasing cost of food, clothing, and shelter. They cannot afford to be consumers. Their paychecks cannot sustain the image advertisers promote. Not even with credit cards!

There is nothing unethical about making profits and wealth, but there are a whole lot of wrongs if they were made at the expense of other humans and the environment. We need to eradicate greed and inject kindness and compassion into our economic system and our lives or humanity will burn itself out of existence.

Greed has never been sustainable. Humankind and the environment are paying the price for the greed of a few powerful humans. No one wins in this game of greed.

Capitalists and Socialists, Unite! Capitalism needs Socialism. We cannot have one without the other. It is a necessary synergy that is ignored or refused.

Everyone (including companies) has hopes and dreams — to be treated kindly, to be safe, comfortable, sheltered, fed, clothed, and profitable.

What are your hopes and dreams?

My hopes and dreams? I choose kindness because the laws of the Universe dictate that everything good will follow after kindness.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
