The West is rapidly resembling a scab over a festering wound.

We are linear, goal seeking creatures in this cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality and when those feedback loops don't have any circuit breakers, it all spirals down the rabbit hole.

The Ancients devised debt jubilees nearly 3000 years ago, as a circuit breaker to the feedback loop of compound interest and here we are, stuck in the same doom loop.

What we need to understand is that money and banking are a form of public unity, like we have come to understand that government is a form of public utility.

When the medium enabling markets is privately managed, we are all tenant farmers to the banks.

With public government and private banking, the banks have all the power and the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

The federal debt really got started with the New Deal, so not only was Roosevelt putting unemployed labor back to work, but unemployed capital, as well.

Then WW2 came along, as the largest public works project in history and the die was cast, with the military as the golden child.

That our politicians need to prove themselves by playing cowboys and Indians on the other side of the planet, while the country falls apart, only goes to show what happens when the military is the only tool in the tool box.

Modern neoliberal economics and bacteria operate on the same infinite growth formula. The problem is when they reach the edge of the petri dish, or the resources and political boundaries and it collapses.

The advantage of multicellular organisms is being able to sense and navigate the situation.

To the extent societies evolve into larger super organisms, government functions as the nervous system, while money and banking are supposed to serve as blood and the circulation system. Presumably to allocate resources to where it is most productive and healthy. Not just into their own pockets.

It is like the heart telling the hands and feet to go suck dirt, because it is keeping all the blood for itself. Eventually everything dies, even the heart. Parasites need a healthy host.

The banks are having their, "Let them eat cake." moment.

Russia and China have effectively gone back to private government, with Putin and Xi as respective CEO's, specifically to keep their oligarchs in check. Which is why our oligarchs and their political and media prostitutes hate them so much.
