I don’t know

by Moses

Another look into their understanding…

I claim to be an expert on all things politics when it comes to professional legislative and or everyday conversations. In this, the reality is that I only know from first and second-hand experiences of what the machine is. The machine is the political divide between left and right. I understand politics mainly through secondhand experiences from my brother Aaron. For he is the one who introduced me to the debacle of politics and everything it brings. I recall sitting in on the guest section, watching Kansas legislators debate issues that don’t matter in the end. This session lasted until 2 in the morning. 

I don’t know theory, nor do I claim to understand it. I just follow what is called social democracy because it hasn’t led me astray with action. This is plainly just feelings and educated guesses based on prior knowledge of how the world works. I must admit I am only 23, so I may not have the experience to talk, but I do have it. Life has happened on life’s terms, and in that, it gave me the understanding of how life works to beat you up.

I have been through just like anyone else, so-called shitty experiences that shaped my beliefs and values, which in turn influence my actions.  I first came across a shitty experience after my eldest brother died. That led me to question existence and what life truly means. I have found answers in the unanswers that life has given me.  One must imagine Sisypheus happy. That was side-tracking from the main point to tell the reader that I have lived a million lifetimes over and over. I have faced my G-d and said my prayers. Nonetheless, the house of cards that is politics is built on lies and mischievous behavior. 

The politicians know that their corporate donors are watching more than the average citizen is. That’s how they get away with said behaviors. There is no accountability from the people. Lobbists, as they are called, spend trillions of dollars buying out people whom we elect to get their way. Usually, their way is to increase profits for themselves.  The lobbist offer money and other gifts to politicians to sway them.  In the debate hall, the division of left and right shines, but in the halls… The story is different.  The division isn’t there, and they treat each other with respect. It’s almost like the politicians know when they are being watched. In how they get away with malicious behaviors.  

I am a leftist, in particular a social democrat, where I believe in welfare so we all can contribute to society to our fullest. The workers,  who drive everything, have the same ability to succeed as the corporations. I believe this can be done through capitalism. In the sense that money is recognized as a tool, not a ends all means all. In a society where the dollar is actualized into self-propelled innovation. Right now, there are 30 water bottle companies competing for the dollar. How is that innovation? I am not a Communist for the simple fact that I support capitalism. 

In conclusion, I don’t know anything about politics or theory. I just follow a whim that hasn’t led me astray. A whim that other people see and follow with me.  For I have been through shitty experiences in life and accepted that I don’t know about it.  Lobbying is the biggest problem in the current system, along with the lack of accountability from the people. They are too busy slaving away to act or notice, and I am a social democrat because I believe in capitalism.
