CAPITALISM

[pyropappy]

Communism and capitalism both are easily overcome by corruption. While Rand appreciated George Orwell's views re socialism -- as a great many right-wing ideologues have, and do -- she failed to appreciate that corruption renders capitalism indistinguishable from socialism: probably because elitism is inherently corrupt,  making it a taboo subject among the well-to-do, and those who wish to be in their good graces. Corruption invariably results in efforts to consolidate wealth and power, and socialism (welfare socialism) that is made to appear as democracy is incredibly effective at doing this; hence the CIA financing startups like MS, Amazon, Google, and FB. What, you didn't know that the CIA is in the business of financing startups? Of course you don't, because that falls under the category of news that ISN'T fit to print.

In my estimation, the only legitimate solution for addressing corruption is laid out in Rousseau's Political Economy, which is a very short read and is arguably his best work. If anyone is interested I'll post the sections that have the greatest relevance.

Madam, you make my point eloquently. The founders understood human nature and its lust for power; they knew we would face these problems at some point.

This country is in a very sad state; it is over run with pernicious, jejune and power hungry denizens of the swamp.  I submit, there are no Democrats nor Republicans any more, only progressives and Constitutionalist. Progressives have been infiltrating both parties for a century.


I believe it is in large part the blame of big government; the Department of Education has been destroying our educational system since its inception. The progressive goal has been to indoctrinate, not educate, for the past century. Government bureaucrats with their own agenda have been colluding with career politicians, a corrupt media and lobbists stealing our tax dollars,  all under the protection of judicial fiat.

It is time to reeducate every generation about their inalienable Constitutional rights, before they make a grave mistake. 

This country is having the wrong debate every single day because the elites want us divided; there is really only one debate required: who decides? When people hear that question, the overwhelming majority agree, they should decide. That question unites people, and that is the swamp’s biggest fear - a united  and engaged electorate.

Convention of States Project was formed to “Build an engaged army of self-governing grassroots activists”, for the express purpose of educating people on their inalienable Constitutional right to restrain government through the Article V amending convention process.

Our aspirational goals are as follows:
Help people organize and restore representative government as defined in our written Constitution.
Restore a culture of self-governance in America.
Inspire a political and spiritual awakening in America.

Our mission will never end; we are painfully aware, as our founders were, that human nature will creep back in to the federal government over time if we fail to educate each successive generation about the principles this great nation was founded upon:
All power emanates from the people.
Individual freedom.
Equal justice.

This project is not about who is in the White House, who controls congress nor which party’s message resonates the loudest, frankly, we don’t care. Our concern is to hold ALL of the corrupt DC decision makers accountable until the natural checks and balances that limit government are restored. Limited government is the solution to government corruption.

We fully understand the magnitude of the daunting task we have chosen.
