Neo-Socialism : A Concept Whose Time Has Come, Part 3
Neo-Socialism is based on the theory of "equal distribution of both services, labor, cost and product(goods)". That is the basic necessities of life would have to be guaranteed as long as an individual signs on to the global project in a means to benefit the "greater" good of all humanity. When "weight" is equally distributed on an ocean liner, all points of the vessel have to be displaced equally by the pressure of weight , regardless if you are a point in first, 2nd or 3rd class, everyone is all attributing the same effort(work applied to maintain balance to avoid capsizing) to staying afloat on a sinking ship . And it applies that if the same ocean liner goes down, everyone will go down with the ship unless there is help provided for all "classes" to be rescued. The rushing water doesn't distinguish between first class, 2nd class and 3rd class passengers nor how luxurious your cabin is. The world's current economy maybe conceived just like the Titanic ocean liner where we've divided all people based on the false idea someone's worth and value is based on what you've amassed materially in life. Neo-socialism's advanced paradigm shift evolves away from this and eliminates the façade that any part of humanity is better than any other sector based only merely on a materialistic basis. But, rather it ushers in such a new dynamic shift in the economic concept , however , getting human beings to accept this is another challenge altogether. How do you bring people to a new equalized and fair socio-economic basis without "rocking the boat" or without appearing to be bringing another section of people "down" to a universal equalized level? Also, how do you avoid making those who are already "higher up" too much further up the ladder? How do you avoid creating a greater divide or gap between "haves" and "have nots" . Economic systems can not evolve entirely as a new system purely by economic tools and instruments alone by fashioning the markets and commercialization because there has to be as much of a social change in the overall system to be equally effective in bringing about change throughout all society. The world's next paradigm, that is slowly being trickled down is one that will call for this sort of "equalization" of our over-all socio-economic factors for every single individual on the planet. It will and is thus, the biggest project ever the human race has participated in for one effort of survival of this planet(it is actually occurring daily, but not adequately reported or either just piecemeal-like only). It will be a massive program larger than the combined U.S. Social Security insurance, along with the largest logistics of utilizing all natural disaster relief budgets by the UN?UNCHR and all the budgets for past and current wars prosecuted in the last century together. It will need to be bigger than previous Lend Lease post-war programs during post-World War 2, larger than the all budgets of governments that have received Stimulus programs in the U.S., Europe and Japan and by all central and international banks . Neo-socialism will have to be greater than the rebuild of Europe after WW2 and the rebuild of Japan and China in the same period.The effort will be even greater logistically and monetarirly than all the bailouts of the current U.S.A., Europe and Asia. It will have to be logistically and financially supported greater than the world wide war on terrorism backed by multi-international national efforts. In effect , New-Socialism's new paradigm will seek to create a new currency between humans that may not be at all material via technology! Because it will transcend material wealth as we know it to rebuild the world.
Just off the top, corporations appear to be in the best place that can catalyze this type of change by those commanded by government policy, just as corporations stopped in World War 2 in making commercial airplanes and cars and started making B 52s and tanks for the world war effort. At that time corporations and manufacturers decided they would now make uniforms instead of designer clothes. Foods would have to be utilized at lower rates and rationed for those who were on the battlefield. Conserving energy, oil, gas, electricity and sharing in those resources were necessary for "the greater good" of the war effort. Why not utilize this same concept and effort for peace and economy. Now, do you recently remember that the television manufacturers stated they would discontinue making "old" anode" style teleivisions even if you had one that worked perfectly well or was even brand new. The "system" was going to change to HD models with cameras built into them and 1000 channels from satellite . The FCC(national government) would support this, but even if this was the case a Stimulus package" would have to be built-in for makers to make all those new expensive HD t.v. units for the loss of revenue on new expensive purchases that were not going to be bought due to low economy and higher expense of them. It is the same for the new battery operated and flex-fueled cars that are being built . But, to build one of those cars is about $100,000. However, the only way to bring those prices down would be to give a bailout or stimulus package to the car manufacturers so they can begin to produce the cars and sell them at a lower rate to consumers. Most U.S. companies took the stimulus package and our companies have become "nationalized"(socialized) on the record, the government owns them officially. It is the same with housing.
Governments can effect these economic policies of "stimulus" or "bailouts" for the corporations high cost of production and anticipated loss of revenue. Notice that we haven't seen the same abrupt mandated policy to change carbon fuel based automobiles to these new fuel types like we did with the anode T.V.s. Why? because the average car cost is between $28,000 to $100,000 USD ; unlike an average t.v. costing between $500 to $2000 USD. Mandating the industry only makes these alternative fuel model vehicles like what we did for televisions would abruptly rock the economy sector too much , too fast. Instead we will see these new car models with new fuel concepts "trickle" into society as old fossil fuel ones will just simply disappear because they will no longer be produced and fuels will not support them.
Just, what does this have to do with the idea of Neo-Socialism? It shows the concept of how the goals of the corporations will gladly merge into governments economic policies creating a new cooperative partnership between corporations and government making many of these shifts and changes possible. Whether it is televisions, cars, housing or education institutions having to have digital technology in schools and being financed by corporations, or privately owned prisons; this new government and corporative partnership will meld into a "Corporatocracy" . This seems to be the most important ingredient into forming an oligharichal-corporatocracy , true. But, the new economics will be based on human social behavior as much as it will be on financial matters. More importantly it will be digital corporations making many of the old policies that were once government decisions made by the congress. Newer produced jobs based on high tech micro-computers will replace many things that were done manually by humans. Technology will open up new fields of studies with new ranges and new occupations and professions will take shape and change how we will integrate science , technology, and social-economics to that of our own biology(by AI/bionics). Money as we define it today as being an exchange duly noted on paper for labor already performed so that it can therefore be traded , exchanged or purchased on a market, shall itself change as digital money will become common place. Money that is on a micro-chip/digital (bitcoin) can be scanned in real time instead of held up at the bank for 2 or 3 days. it means the individual will have access automatically , but so will the new system that connects banking systems, health care systems computer data bases to your phone, credit card, hotel, school and entertainment . The question we will have in the early 21st century is whether we should keep the micro-chip external to the human body or internalize it. As time passes situations and circumstances will reveal the convenience and assiduous uses of such a novel device to be involved in everything we engage in on a daily basis. Payments of items such as pharmaceuticals, blood check, your doctors laboratory and clinic visit, your heart rate, number of calories you eat, how hot your body got with what food, how much elimination molecules of CO2 , methane gas your body makes, how much energy your body stores in summer and winter will now all be accessible , pre-caluclated and predetermined its cost/benefit ratio to the society as a whole via the system's intelligence computers and smart devices.
This new economic system and new technology culture will become "the program" and will essentially have to be world-wide. The world will be in a new age that will introduce and be accepting of AI(artificial intelligence) by that time. From that point on the human digital divide will grow closer and as the world seems smaller, and now we will get perhaps one of the most precise states of "Neo-Socialism". If organizations such as the W.T.0(World Trade Organization), GATT, NAFTA, CAFTA, EU, BRICS, TPP, ASEAN and others were merely precursors to creating a "global village", then it would make sense that they were also the precursors to "Neo-Socialism". Just because these early forms of it were given multiple names for it, they still are all under the umbrella of the Free Trade Agreement which is all necessary to usher in "Neo-Socialism". Some, such the Presidential Candidate Ross Perot preferred to call this the "giant sucking sound" that was going out of one particular country to basically equalize all economies of the world in a system of artificial parity. In this policy we have the new world system that will be further developed and enforce a new high technology the likes of which the world has never seen , it will be a marvel, magical,but may take mayhem to introduce, initiate it, maintain and sustain it.

Part 2, Neo-Socialism A Concept Whose Time Has Come
The last lingering vestiges of the "old world" are fading away quickly before our very eyes. "Corporatocracies" can not "go it alone" without the public support of its consumers through government interventions such as creating "new money" ( taxes). A corporation can not do that, but public agencies also can not "market" a product like a free market corporation either. So, the two must merge together in a new socio-economic- political system where stimulus programs, multiple QEs, bail outs, Austerity-Sequester Programs and corporate tax breaks will be seen more along as the new corporate welfare of the 21st century . A car corporation can build a new tech car that will cost the public $100,000; but, to do that with heavy costs and demands of R & D, emissions and quality controls, the government will have to create "subsidies" for the manufacturer to make the vehicle, But, where do those subsidies come from? From the consumer who has received heavier taxes levied upon them to help that corporation build its new car. As previously stated, the "slate" will have to be wiped clean for the whole world; poor, middle class and wealthy alike to begin anew. It is known as a "reset" to the economic system. This newer type of hegemony will pull world resources together for a more uniformed effort. But, first economic and financial calamities and catastrophies will have to "assist" the process of a world wide economic "cleansing" according to this "doctrine" , It is neither moral nor based on partisan politics . Rather, it is a global solution that is both logistical and pragmatic. It is "the new paradigm". This system will make the policies created by Malthus, Engel, Hegel and Marx pale in comparison. Because Neo-Socialism calls heavily for computers, robots, micro-chipping of live beings and human beings as well as other inanimate products to be readily accessible to the digital divide. Just what has the world been enduring recently with hints to set that up? UNITED STATES: The last weeks of January and opening up in February, the markets saw their worst in 2 years. As "Stimulus is being cut", "Sequestration being bolstered" measures have all been instituted by national and international banks, the economy is still tanking. This is leading the U.S.A and world into a state of "Hyper-inflation", where just like the pre-WW2 Weimer Republic of Germany, a loaf of bread cost hundreds of equivalent dollars(Duetsche Marks). PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINE: It is also "shakey times" as China , which leads the BRICS nations(Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) economic initiative, is considering "dumping" its T-Bonds(Treasury Bonds) for newer stronger currencies. This will create the T-Bond bubble to burst. Both China and India another member of the BRICS are purchasing mass quantities of gold to back up what may be what's the next new currency for their nations(perhaps demanding the creation of a new world currency). On January 14th we saw the Word Economic Forum try to sue for peace as well as the other economic experts convened in Davos discuss how to correct and adjust the world economic crisis. The IMF(International Monetary Fund) also recently convened to discuss the "reset" to markets in the economy. The U.S.A. is a blueprint perhaps for what is to take place within the global shifts being prepared. As the U.S. economy slips , the BRICS ,ASEAN-TPP and Gulf State economic alliances strengthen in comparison to the U.S. economic attempts which seem feeble. Will the U.S., Canada and Mexico be forced to create a formal economic partnership with a common currency. It seems that's what the path of NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA were all about. China is also looking looking at expanding and protecting natural resources with disputes not only between Japan's Sunkaku islands about petroleum, there is a bigger dispute between China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan about the Spratley Islands of the Philippines for minerals and fisheries. China seeks to empower it's expansionist powers by including a greater boarder of it's sovereignty into international waters, the East China Sea(ADIZ) and the South China Sea (Date Nine(9) are new stretched lines drawn by China that not only intersect their neighbor's borders , but crosses over into them. China's relationship with Tibet, disputes with India's Kashmere region, tensions with Burma and it's own Islamic population has sparked some potential for internal strife. It doesn't stop western nations , however, of "out-sourcing" billions of dollars to them as China's military "beefs up" one of the strongest and technologically advanced navies ever on the planet. Copying virtually every facet of the U.S. Air Force's F-35, the Chinese fleet is poised for action as they showed off their new air craft carriers recently in the Mediterranean. China's influences in Sub-Saharan Africa is also showing as it sets to control numerous natural resources from there.
What is happening with other AMERICAN ALLIES/NATO: Britain is in a stalemate with it's own version of inflation and economic crisis, but remains America's staunchest ally. Its economic and financial scandals with the London Whale and Libor has created something rotten in "The City" (London) that could cause things to further crack and ripple throughout Europe and the world. France's President Hollande after oddly obtaining the presidency from his opponent Dominic Strauss-Kahn(head of the IMF)was placed in the head role as leader of western forces in the war on Libya by spear heading the attacks on Benghazi and latter adding numerous forces in West African, particularly Mali. The Hollande Administration has launched new financial campaigns to tax those making over $1 million dollars in income at 75 %. France has seen protest about it's austerity as cuts to benefits for retirees are being cut throughout Europe. Spain's new unemployment rate comes in at over 40 % and has it's own "illegal immigration" issues from it's neighbors from the south. Italy has an unemployment rate of 41 %. Germany, the European country with the strongest economy has seen it's own central bank become the "de facto" central bank of Europe by handing out numerous stimulus packages to several European nations. THE MIDDLE EAST: It doesn't appear that the global war on terrorism is letting up at all. Iraq has seen more fighting that rivals that of that during the official war that the U.S.A participated in. Iran is poised to keep its nuclear program as a wider regional war creates destabilization of Syria and mass displacement of hundreds of thousands people. Egypt has only further deteriorated into an abyss of further strife, demonstrations, civil unrest and possibly another civil war. AFRICA: The Division of Sudan into South and North Sudan is being further divided as South Sudan will possibly split into yet another 2 new nations. The wars of central Africa are spreading continuously from Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. The Southern states are in just as much disarray socially and economically. South Africa was poised to become the new jewel for a post-apartheid South Africa, but the abject poverty of "blacks" there rivals what it was like before during the apartheid era. Economic tensions could create a real civil unrest that would represent the protracted tensions that await release by poor blacks. ASIA: Tensions still escalate with other Asian nations while the first meeting of North and South Korean in 6 years happened this February. This occurs right in the midst of N. Koreas threats to destroy the U.S.A. militarily with nuclear arms along with S. Korea and Japan. Another earth shattering meeting also occurred in Asia this week when Taiwan met with The People's Republic of China for meetings the first time in 65 years,. Could it be that on the precipice of war, a glimmer of hope exists or is this the last final desperate talks that warring nations have before launching pre-attacks , in other words getting the "scripts" correct and ready for the teams that will participate in the future aggression. WHAT IT TOOK TO GET OUT OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION MAY BE SAME FOR TODAY: After the "Crash of 1929", it had to take more than Roosevelt's "shovel ready" jobs to get America back to work and the nation functioning normally. The world plunged into economic oblivion as impoverished conditions and numerous proxy wars began from the 1930's until 1939. Then, the world got it's chance. It's chance to employ virtually every human being on the planet. "The Industry of War" came to the world on a silver platter. The world was officially at war. The rate of productivity of armaments, planes, tanks, uniforms, foods, allowed for an economic boom at the expense of death . Death of soldiers, civilians, women, children and the elderly as well. Collateral damage is the price one has to pay to build a new idea, a new city, or a new world up from the ashes of it's own destruction. As most of Western and Eastern Europe was razed to the ground, parts of Africa and considerable amounts of Asia felt the brunt of the "war machine" in World War 2 . The Industry culminated into it's most brilliant machine called the Atomic Bomb. The game had to be stopped and a new reset before planetary annihilation occurred. The "referees" of the "War Game" thus created a New World Economic Policy called Bretton Woods via the World Bank, International Monetary Fund with the UN acting as it's main beneficiary. It even instilled a quick way to jump start war torn Europe with Lend Lease. America became the steward of Japan, the Philippines, Marshall Islands, and began to build bases throughout the world. But in the next "New Game" our closest ally, Russia would build an atomic bomb and become our enemies , just like that. By the time the early 1950s came, the world was booming, but booming to the tune of a new threat called the Cold War. Yet, in todays modern economic debacle, the potential 2nd economic crash would make the Great Depression look like child's play. Why? Because the world is bigger. We have a bigger population, bigger banking co-mingling of funds, a co-dependent world economy, massive shifts in cheaper labor sources off shore along with robots and computers, lower income mobility, less income equality. If a world war ensues after another economic crash, history will side with war. We are currently in a pre- world war mind set and environment currently with numerous regional and proxy wars occurring. Just like 1929 and the Great Depression we are also economically unstable. War is always the last card to be played when all else has failed to create stability. Usually the last signal that assures the world community war is imminent is when large economies do not pay back or default on their loans from central and world banks. When the U.S.A either pushes further it's debt ceiling to pay back it's loans, it makes the international bankers very nervous because they figure that the only chance they have in getting back their money if a nation's policy is only to "kick the can down the road" or default on loans is to create the situation of declaring "World War". When the war machinery kicks in , the War Industry recreates the means to pay back loans. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 started the American and the world's economic spiral . It took a world war effort to re-build a new world of peace , prosperity and growth. The war ended in 1945, but the economic boom didn't take effect until the early 1950s. That was a twenty year period of creating economic stabilization. If the Economic Crash of 2008 signaled a similar trend , then it won't be for at least 2038 before we would see the world get out from underneath its debt . To do that the "major players" in the "Great Game" will have to have already figured out what the new world de facto currency exchange will be, what will be the new technology that will be the standard, and who will be the new world leader countries. What happened after World War 2 was similar, but utilized a completely different set of tools, situations, and problems; the world was different, economies, banks and population all different. The current global economy doesn't have the time or means to create ideally Growth of yearly stabilization, lead with investments and savings over consumption, there is too much inequity in the general world population for all to gain equal access to technology and education as well as labor resources. No , we are at the end of our rope and not able to re-stabilize the fiat currency. Ladies and Gentlemen the "Industry of War" is come to be the last card to be played to assist the introduction of Neo-Socialization.

Neo-Socialism: A Concept Whose Time Has Come, Part 1
The New Global Economics looks more like some kind of Rorschach Test(psychological test) that has a bizarre shape that changes almost weekly like a chimera , anybody can call it whatever what they want based on what they see . But, neither can they make heads or tails of it. What is setting the pace for what feels like something eminent is about to happen in the world , yet, we just can't quite place our fingers on it. Most of us have heard or have learned about the concepts of "Neo-Conservatism" and "Neo-Liberalism" , but what we are not quite sure about is a concept that has been around for sometime, but never designated with a term. It is recently becoming realized in certain economic and academic circles. Just after World War I and a little before World War II , certain sovereign nations began to play around with different types of economies. This was during the time of an earlier great global economic collapse ; so ,as to deal with it , the blueprints for socialism, communism, totalitarianism, , free market - capitalism systems, and the oligarchical-corporate industrial-dictatorships began to experiment and take shape for a conglomeration of something from all of them. World War II had to take place in part to determine the validity of which system was more efficient for the world in some time and place in the future, at some undetermined date. We have seen the failure of capitalism as it was weaned off the gold standard. The iron curtain fell with Russia's totalitarian -communist state as an eastern leader. Western Europe has attempted to use a "friendlier" form of socialism , but has waxed and waned with the formation of the EU and the Euro which destroyed many sovereign currencies. So, what else is left? We have seen the emerging of national governments along with corporations and central banks bridging what will be the wave of the global future, "Neo - Socialism". The UN and other global groups have had time to manage how to usher this concept in with all nations to participate in it. To do this requires the biggest diversion ever dreamed up of and put upon "mankind". "Managed Chaos" is not magic, but it isn't easy either when there may be certain deadlines. What has to happen to usher in "Neo-Socialism", are phenomena such as economic crashes, wars, environmental instability, social and public health calamities as well not necessarily artificially, but it will be a domino affect. What we have now is the "clearing" of the "old order" and the recognition and introduction of a new world system and policy shifts. In order to do that technology will play a major role in "jump starting" this system. Technologies such as computers, micro-chips, wireless tele-communications, cyborg- robotics(AI) and genetics will play such an incomprehensible role, that it is hardly imaginable even now in what we call "modern times". But, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Before these things can occur, there has to be "organized calamities" or "managed chaos", first beginning with the dismantling of economies because money is what connects us all globally.
