Capitalism is an economic ideology that collapses upon itself. In the capitalist system, competition supposedly is held sacrosanct. But all capitalistic enterprises seek to destroy the competition thereby fomenting monopoly. For that very reason, it is a flawed ideology. Capitalism moreover goes hand in hand with liberal political philosophy that asserts government's most basic function is the protection of private property and the equalization of formal rights. Capitalism necessarily exacerbates and exploits inequality--those enterprises with more resources will necessarily subsume those with inferior ones. So capitalism butts head first into the liberal position that government is supposed to guarantee certain rights to its human parties. Under the capitalist system, inequality is furthered thus superseding the rights and guarantees provided by the liberal, constitutional position. This the reason America is so fucked up. We have these rights on paper that the government is supposed to guarantee, but private power centers (i.e. business) destroy those rights. When you are employed by a private business, you forfeit all of your constitutional rights. You no longer have the right to free speech, religion, assembly, arms, freedom from incriminating yourself, and property or intellectual contributions. You cease to be a human being in the eyes of your private employer. As soon as your are employed by a private business, you are no longer a human being, but a human RESOURCE to be exploited just like any other material used in production.

I hate cops. They can all fucking go to hell. Every time I've needed the police, either because I was a victim of crime, or while changing a flat tire on the interstate, they either reprimanded me for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or nearly accused me of criminal conduct. I've never broken a law in my life except a little speeding (~7 mph above the limit). My car was broken into in 2003. Because my insurance required a police report, I called the city police. They yelled at me for parking in my gated apartment complex, and abruptly said "you'll never get your property back...there's nothing we can do but fill out a report...YOU'RE STUPID." The next interaction I had with the cops occurred in 2007 on the side of I-20, changing a flat. The dickhead state trooper parked behind me for about 15 minutes. I kept looking at him sitting in his car. He finally got out and said, "What's the problem here?" I told that dickhead I was having trouble getting my spare out from under my SUV because I had no tools. I asked him for tools. He said, "we're not a flat-tire changing service." I responded by asking him if he had vice grips, and that in no way did I expect him to change my tire. He then asked me if I was smuggling drugs and then pressured me into searching my vehicle. After I changed the flat, I was there for another 45 minutes while him and his supervisor ransacked my SUV. Three weeks ago, I was pulled over in Texas for no reason. No reason whatsoever. The trooper initially said I was following too close, but this was right around church time and there were few motorists on the roads. He asked me why I was wearing a suit. Fucker, I just came from church you idiot. He searched my car and detained me for an hour. He issued me a warning for changing lanes incorrectly. I had not changed any lanes before he pulled me over. Cops are dickheads and America is a police state.
