Short Guide Through Geo Political Economy Part 1
At the end of one pleasant evening
It was decided to end it on the highest note…
He placed himself on grandest stage
And stretching mighty or shaky hand to the horizon
He simply said to esteemed crowd:
We are so, so proud
In such an awe
We are with us
That we won’t even try to find
Anyone around, who can sugarcoat us any better,
Than we can; so I start.
1. About different Systems we created.
The system we created is in perfect order
With some minor twists or simple adjustments
We might survive it all with little losses
Because we can not manage – just control.
Firstly, with all the ‘isms’ that we created
We’ve got the right approach
With all the major concepts;
As long as common folk
Abide to all ‘isms’, its broken proclamations
As we don’t have to - in secret.
Let’s talk about ‘Socialism’, as we know it
Frankly speaking, seeming one
That was completely build in Soviet Union
With grand announcements of leaders
Who forgot to mention
What was declared in the inception of it all,
That “from each according to his abilities,
To each according to his work”
Was never realized; in actuality.
From there, like in dreamland or a nightmare
I let you to decide yourself
They, as so called ‘communist elitists’
Sprung all people around them
To built it further – to another ‘ism’
Called ‘Communism’; no kidding.
Let’s remember the major economic principle
Or how it was so gallantly phrased, by Lenin – no less,
That “from each according to his abilities
To each according to his needs”
Could never be accomplished
In a hungry country, for everything – from food to individual freedoms;
Because the foundation wasn’t build.
First step – Socialism, was not achieved
At all – only in heads of stupid old men
Who lived in Kremlin or government provided palaces
For all high placed, decrepit – mind you,
But still ruling Soviet country, Communists;
In other words - their communist elite.
How about capitalism
Another -ism- we need to talk about
That, on almost everybody minds,
Was going so smoothly
Until it crashed to such unpleasant wonders
Of high unemployment and siphoning of money
Of a surprised society - of common folk,
Right back to us - elite.
How that happened?...
