"They Will Hate You When They Can't See Their Own Hypocrisy" by Peter Ragnar He retorted, "I don’t believe in commercialism!" I replied, "Fine! Take your clothes off." "What?! Are you crazy? I'm not going to take my clothes off!" I said, "Would you rather remain a hypocrite?" I continued, "You either bought or begged the clothes you have on, and either way someone had to make them. And someone had to sell them, and someone had to ship them, and someone had to buy a truck, build a store, advertise a product, and earn some money to keep your butt covered—and you have the nerve to rail against 'commercialism'?" "To object to the very thing one engages in makes one a hypocrite." Every single person who breathes is engaged, whether by money or barter, in interacting with others in trading goods or services—unless you live naked in some remote jungle. However, even primitive tribes engage in commercialism—that is, to profit from the transaction of the transfer of goods or services. "How simply or lavishly you choose to live does not negate the issue." In my homesteading days (though I was unconscious that I was engaged in a commercial pursuit by selling firewood, eggs from my chickens, and honey from my bees), I was engaged in "an economic system in which the means of production and distribution were privately owned by myself and operated for profit." That's right—my profit was the ability to be self-supporting enough that I could hold my head up, that I wasn't some leech sucking life from others. By the way, the above definition you just read is the dictionary definition for the word "capitalism." This is also the meaning of a free and voluntary market economy that is the future hope of all enlightened thinkers. "What is a free market?" Well, for certain, it's not one that has a dictatorial overseer, nor is it a market dictated by mob rule. It is "free" in the regard that it is voluntary. As an example, if you don't like the products or publications on my website, there are no soldiers with bayonets to your neck forcing you to buy them. If I don't provide enough value and service, I’m out of business, as I should be. A free market forces one to give the best service for the best price. And you are free to patronize anyone else. I love it! Another definition I've found: Capitalism is a social system based on the principle of individual rights." Here's an explanation of a free market economy from America's Persecuted Minority: "In a free economy, where no man or group of men can use physical coercion against anyone, economic power can be achieved only by voluntary means: by the voluntary choice and agreement of all those who participate in the process of production and trade. In a free market, all prices, wages, and profits are determined—not by the arbitrary whim of the rich or of the poor, not by anyone's 'greed' or by anyone's need—but by the law of supply and demand. The mechanism of a free market reflects and sums up all the economic choices and decisions made by all the participants. Men trade their goods or services by mutual consent to mutual advantage, according to their own independent, uncoerced judgment. A man can grow rich only if he is able to offer better values—better products or services, at a lower price—than others are able to offer. Wealth, in a free market, is achieved by a free, general, 'democratic' vote—by the sales and the purchases of every individual who takes part in the economic life of the country. Whenever you buy one product rather than another, you are voting for the success of some manufacturer. And, in this type of voting, every man votes only on those matters which he is qualified to judge: on his own preferences, interests, and needs. No one has the power to decide for others or to substitute his judgment for theirs; no one has the power to appoint himself 'the voice of the public' and to leave the public voiceless and disenfranchised." "While some feel that their voices speak for the majority of the public's voiceless and disenfranchised, it only speaks of their own hypocrisy." The free market speaks for us all. Screw your employer; you screw yourself. Provide lousy products and poor service—guess what? You starve! And that's the way it should be. "Remember, every day we get to vote who stays in business and who goes out." How? By our purchases. Oops! There's that word again—commercialism. Remember, they will hate you when they can't see their own hypocrisy. Much Love and Success, Peter
