Was the presidential election a velvet revolution?

Presidential election is over. Now we know the name of the next president. The problen is how much the presidential election will affect the 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 the government and the gang in power, it was for intellectual people and the writers and educators who preferred to stay quiet.

In 1989 I wrote an article about the "Contradictions in Romanian socialism society" inspired by Michael Gorbachev's 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 the age of 47 in the USA. More info is available on winner4us.com.

The democratic candidate is calling for "get from the rich and give to the poor"

The democratic elected president 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 bubble. Have you heard about NINJA (no income,no job or assets) mortgages?
• With that door for sub-prime mortgages lending opened and 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's 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

We need to become a leader in manufacturing ethanol, manufacturing solar houses, develop energy efficient technologies, built more nuclear power-stations, bring the education to requirements for 21st century, 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.

Watch a short video about communism and capitalism:

I hope this artcle and links are mind opening for some and of help after election for many.
