Rudd calls for era of "social capitalism" (1 Viewer)

Time for a new world order: PM

KEVIN RUDD has denounced the unfettered capitalism of the past three decades and called for a new era of "social capitalism" in which government intervention and regulation feature heavily.

In an essay to be published next week, the Prime Minister is scathing of the neo-liberals who began refashioning the market system in the 1970s, and ultimately brought about the global financial crisis.

"The time has come, off the back of the current crisis, to proclaim that the great neo-liberal experiment of the past 30 years has failed, that the emperor has no clothes," he writes of those who placed their faith in the corrective powers of the market.

"Neo-liberalism and the free-market fundamentalism it has produced has been revealed as little more than personal greed dressed up as an economic philosophy. And, ironically, it now falls to social democracy to prevent liberal capitalism from cannibalising itself."

Mr Rudd writes in The Monthly that just as Franklin Roosevelt rebuilt US capitalism after the Great Depression, modern-day "social democrats" such as himself and the US President, Barack Obama, must do the same again. But he argues that "minor tweakings of long-established orthodoxies will not do" and advocates a new system that reaches beyond the 70-year-old interventionist principles of John Maynard Keynes.

"A system of open markets, unambiguously regulated by an activist state, and one in which the state intervenes to reduce the greater inequalities that competitive markets will inevitably generate," he writes.[...]

I'm telling you this is all timed perfectly for world government.

Rudd is part of the globalists.

He's blaming capitalism and wants to utter in an era of Socialism.

This is a dangerous lunatic.

[tehpyro]

What the hell is social capitalism? A bit like a totalitarian democracy?

 

[withoutaface]

Personally I think that he should stop writing essays and get back to banning shit.

Maybe you like more government and believe the government should have a long leash up our asses so they can control us like a bunch of sheep but personally I don't.

Furthermore his whole stimulate the economy through more government control is nonsense and will be a power grab to consolidate his agenda.

That long leash up our asses keeps the greenies at bay

Yeah...Rudd is not a revolutionary. Obama is not a revolutionary. Not going to happen.

Obviously Qantas' inflight entertainment isn't good enough for Rudd on long-haul flights. Drove him to write this lunacy.

Big government was a term invented to further the anti-communist agenda in the United States. The US had one big problem with communism, and that was the USSR's use of it. One world power threatening another, and people are bound to take sides. Look at the people who criticised Obama because he was "a damn pink" or "a commie bastard". Many countries have a stable form of socialism in place, and Australia is getting there.

That said, Kevin Rudd has no economic nor business background, and needs to leave that to the people who know what they're doing. Working at the embassy in China doesn't cut it. THAT said, I still don't support it, because Kevin Rudd is a dick who thinks the sun shines out of his asshole.

I don't think you get it, This whole left right paradigm is there to fool us. Look at the people who supported Obama, It was the banking Interests and corporate elites who turned him into a Messiah.

Henry Kissinger is on record as saying that the next few years will see the rise of a New World Order emerging so this is global governance readying itself to give governments more power and the people less. This is not for your benefit but the benefit for a few elites who want control.

Do you honestly think that the Rothschilds and David Rockefeller who are the most powerful people on earth care about your well being? All they care about is control and power.

The Federal Reserve created this whole mess and now they're blaming Capitalism and Free Markets.

[Typical "A NWO ARE COMING WATCH OUT!!!" spiel

Oh, I see. You're one of the "new world order" types. Yeah, the Illuminati are taking us down from the inside out, and we're all sheep. This Zionist movement is a terrifying reality. The banks are controlling us, we can't resist. The government is controlled by those who want to hurt us. The Twenthe Upplyst is stealing our children. Aliens are impregnating the human species in order to increase genetic diversity.

I for one welcome our new world order. Maybe it can bring some stability to the alarming rate of conspiracy theorists.
