So has 'Capitalism', and with no working middle class to show for it now...Look at Russia and China. There is no such thing as 'Communism'. At least... it could be resources that are pooled and shared by the majority, i.e. a Public Benefit System like in the UK and less so in the US! What the West has going on now is a Greed War against their Human Capital for risk free and paid for Public Assets/services. Your leaders aren't interested in you...You tell me what motivates them?...and trust me it's not your well-being...look around. They are eating their young as nature intended in times of Prole Famine. Fat they must stay and hardship they must avoid...Why do you think those Multinational CEO bonuses haven't being clawed back for non-performance...it's because they ARE performing for the FEW...same with the political face men. There is no austerity measure being taken at the top which means the Criminal Ponzi Scheme is working as it should..
