Is the coming presidential election a velvet revolution?In few days we will go to vote for the next president. This time it is more at the stake. In my opinion the coming presidential election is the choice between the socialist and capitalist economic system in the USA. For me coming from a collapsing Romanian socialism, getting new citizenship here in the USA and contemplating a reviving movement for an already proved dead concept it is very painful. The biggest blame I had back in socialist Romania in the 80’s was not for government and the gang in power, it was for intellectual people and writers and educators who preferred to stay quiet and kept us with no clue about the world reality.
In 1989 I wrote an article about the "Contradictions in Romanian socialism society" inspired by Michael Gorbachev perestroika speeches. I listed what socialist theory says and what the reality was. The result was no connection between reality and theory. That study, daily life and the media manipulation convinced me that I fit better outside socialism. In August 15, 1989 I escaped from Romania and in 1990 I started a new life at 47 years old in the USA. These and more info are available on winner4us.com.
The democratic candidate is calling for "get from the rich and give to the poor" Now, after 19 years in this country, I see the presidential election campaigns as fights for minds and hearts of people on fundamental principles between capitalism and socialism.
The democratic candidate is calling for a change. This is Lenin's social revenge slogan: "get from the rich and give to the poor." -This was already done with "affordable housing" and bad mortgages, so we have got into a real estate bobble. -With that door for sub-prime mortgages lending opened with creative financing, the frenzy of buying new vacation houses or bigger houses stimulated the fabrication of derivative financial instruments. This brought us to this financial crisis before elections. Who is to blame for where we are today, the Democrat politicians who asked and forced for sub-prime landing, banks for creating predatory lending, crooks for selling financial instruments with no real value to the world or the capitalist system? Yes to all, but the capitalism. The people sentiment is to the left because “the war on the middle class” and globalization combined effects. Outsourcing manufacturing jobs and industries does not help the American middle class.
The solution is recreating strong green industries The solution is recreating strong green industries that will create new values and keep people working and living here, making America the land of opportunity that was. Become a leader in manufacturing ethanol, manufacturing solar houses, develop energy efficient technologies, etc. Change the current health system where the pharmaceutical industries cannibalize on everybody. Punish the crooks and create some accounting rules for the rest; and the democratic capitalist system with check and balance of the government power, individual property rights, free markets, free competition and equality of opportunity for individuals should go back on track from this crisis.
