You Will Love the Unregulated Free Markets

by Scott Creighton (archived from Feb. 21 2010)

Everything for the unregulated markets. God bless the unregulated markets. The unregulated markets are all that is important. The unregulated markets are democracy. The unregulated markets are America. The unregulated markets are your God whether you know it or not.

National borders hinder the unregulated markets so national borders must go. Social programs hinder the unregulated markets so social programs must go. Consumer protections hinder the unregulated markets so consumer protections must go. Anti-trust laws hinder the markets so anti-trust laws must go. Civil liberties hinder the unregulated markets so civil liberties must go. Educated populations hinder the unregulated markets so the educated public must go. Labor unions hinder the unregulated markets so labor unions must go. Minimum wage laws hinder the unregulated markets so minimum wage laws must go. Nationalized central banks hinder the unregulated markets so nationalized central banks must go.

Your primitive constitution hinders the unregulated markets so your primitive constitution must go.

 

Got it? Good. Now sacrifice your kid’s future to the unregulated markets. Sacrifice your retirement. Sacrifice you earnings and your health and your common sense. Sacrifice your quality of life, your freedoms, your paycheck. Sacrifice critical thinking, logic, reason. Sacrifice it all for the unregulated markets.

You will serve the unregulated markets just like you have been. You will go to war for the unregulated markets just like you have been. You will lay your children on the altar of war for the unregulated markets just like so many of you already have. Because it is the unregulated free markets that rule this nation, this hemisphere, this globe. That is the new order of things.

Until you understand that you don’t know shit.

We killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan for unregulated markets. We have tortured and illegally detained for the unregulated free markets. We killed thousands in Central America and Latin America. We killed in Yemen for unregulated markets, in Yugoslavia, in Pakistan and Somalia. In Nigeria and Honduras, in Chile and Ecuador. We have killed for unregulated free markets and we have enslaved millions of people to subservient starvation wage serf status so that Michael Jordan could make millions more than he could ever spend by putting his name on shoes. We have installed military dictatorships for unregulated free markets. We have protected them and given them sanctuary once their evil regimes collapsed. We have lied to and frightened our own children for unregulated free markets. We have squandered our rights, rights earned by generations of sacrifice, for unregulated free markets.

And we have committed acts of terrorism on our own shores for the unregulated free markets.

Once you accept the guiding premise of the unregulated free markets, that no laws or oversight is required, that the unregulated free markets will correct themselves, that survival is the only religion and that greed is the only motivation, then you will prosper in the unregulated free markets and if you don’t it is your own fault. Just like it is the fault of those millions of poor, brown, uneducated people in the 3rd world who dared to be born without access to wealth.

This is the creed of the unregulated free markets; take all you can, enslave the rest.

There are no laws that govern the servants of the unregulated free markets. They can kill, maim, lie, torture at will for the unregulated free markets. They can steal from you and your children. They can re-write the flawed history of this country, that country, any country they wish. Your constitution impedes the profits of the unregulated free markets so your constitution is wrong.

Because the nature of the unregulated free markets is to consume. Consume the resources, incomes, the health, the youth, the freedoms, the hope, the truth of all they come into contact with. They can and should consume the very history of the world; rewrite it to serve the interests of the unregulated free markets. Teach your children in their privatized public school systems that unregulated free markets were the message of Jesus, of Buddha, of Mohamed, of Moses, of Jefferson, of Lincoln, of Gandhi, and of King. They can teach your children that the poor are not blessed, they are weak and must be used in service to the unregulated free markets. This is the course of the unregulated free markets.

This is the new state of the humanity; this is our evolution.

If you stand in the way of the unregulated free markets you are an extremist, a terrorist, a fanatical leftist communist socialist criminal. You must be removed from the population. You are broken. Can you not see? Can you not understand? Be pragmatic, be serious, be smart, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, be bipartisan, be reasonable.

This is the way of the new order of things. It is America for as long as the unregulated free markets say America exists. As long as America is profitable.

It is center right, it is New Dem it is inevitable. It is Reagan, it is Rand, it is Friedman, and Greenspan. It is Obama and Clinton and Bush and Cheney. It is Fox and CNN and MSNBC and the Washington Post. It is Olbermann, Rush, O’Reilly, and Maddow. It is everyone who is anyone and anyone who is not the unregulated free markets is nothing.

“The system must survive. We must protect the system“

And you will serve or you will perish. You will suffer but the unregulated free market will thrive. You are nothing in the face of the unregulated free markets; you are powerless.

You will forget the old stagnant unevolved philosophies of empathy and sympathy of brotherhood and solidarity. They are childish, unpragmatic illusions. The notion of human rights endowed by your creator is quaint and unsophisticated. Your rights are whatever the unregulated free markets tell you they are. You will embrace the unregulated free markets and their slogans. You will accept them in your heart and nothing else.

You will love the unregulated free markets and everything they stand for and everything they do or you will be an enemy of the unregulated free markets and hated by your peers.

The choice is yours.
