Astute observations as always. I note what crumbs are being offered presently to ordinary civilians are perfectly designed to inculcate dependence of that class on government handouts. I've seen no incentive whatsoever, or promotions of self-reliance during this total destruction of the economic structure on which we have all heretofore depended.
I strongly advocate self-reliance now, more than ever before, to enable independence from what appears to be the formation of an extraneous population producing no benefits to society and dependent on it's overlords for all their necessities. I do not think the prospects of inclusion in such a class are good, and point out that all folks taking from you without giving are eventually resented.
3D printing, aquaponics, gardens, cryptocurrency, and every kind of distributed production of goods and services should be undertaken by people determined to remain free with all possible dispatch using every resource available to them in my estimation. I don't think we can become self-reliant enough in the time we will have available before adoption becomes vastly more difficult, to endure and prosper during the coming deprivations and predations I expect to last for a very long time, if not forever.
Do nothings who form dependence on charity will eventually suffer complete deprivation when, not if, that charity is withdrawn, and those that invest such charitable contributions that come their way in mechanisms of decentralized production will become independent of charity eventually, and hopefully soon enough to survive and even thrive when that charity inevitably ends.
using their stolen wealth through corporate socialism
This is the ultimate perversion of Capitalism, and does not have anything with socialism. It is final stage of monopolist capitalism that is destroying everything it can profit from.
I don't disagree with your interpretation either. I could have easily used your interpretation in the same sentence and it would have the same impact or meaning in the long run (to me anyway). I think we can all get too hung up over those 'isms' in general, and I think that can also be used to divide people in many ways. In my opinion, who is steering the ship and what agenda they have, can technically be used under any system, to carry out the same agenda or create a monopoly when corrupt forces are involved. But theory and practice are not always the same thing. That's just the way I see it anyway😉.
Anyway, I'm a lot more concerned with the media in general and the absurd ways that they are reporting on this crisis....

Here is the problem, my dear @palikari123. First thing Centralized Hierarchical Political Matrix, with the State as its ultimate embodiment, will do to distract you from humane ideas is – mixing up the terminology. If everyone can understand everything as he/she wants, then it can’t be anything but chaos, cacophony where the State will be arbiter! You have to know what your terminology is doing.
So, we have two classes from the beginning of the Centralized Hierarchical Political Matrix: Masters and Slaves, Feudal lords and Serfs, Capitalists and Workers… in essence, all these systems were a variations of exploitation of 99% by the 1%. Marx’s idea of Socialism as a humane transitional period towards the society without exploitation, was conceived from his experience that there is nothing above the state, and that humane State in that transitional period must care about 99% and not 1%. That is the basic postulate of Socialism.
If you have the State that cares about 1% and destroying 99%, that is not Socialism even if it is called, for example: “National-socialist Party”. Remember that? In that case, the right name can only be – fascism. Here are two commonly used definitions:
The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State — a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values — interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people.
— Benito Mussolini, first ideologist of fascism
Or if you prefer this one, because it is an ‘improvement’ over the original concept of fascism, where corporations take over the State, and is therefore closely related to the situation you describe:
The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
— Franklin D. Roosevelt
Now, when you use the terms is such liberal ‘free’ manner calling it your interpretation, you are risking to cover true fascism going over in USA, and making those dumb enough to understand you interpretation literally — even dumber. This is not the way to resolve problems. This is a way into the Marxist’s definition of fascism:
fascism represents the last attempt of a ruling class (specifically, the capitalist bourgeoisie) to preserve its grip on power in the face of an imminent proletarian revolution.

Thanks!
Absolutely spot on! At some point in the future, there will be two classes (or more) as was portrayed in the film a brave new world...
Everything well said except this:

I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised with the rising interest among the young Americans (Millenials and GenZers ) for what Socialism truly is. They want to know. But on the other hand, that also shows how deep the crisis of Capitalism is.
I am fully aware of all of the above.
Seems the only news now is a virus. Getting boring is it not.
Yep. And now everyone on this blockchain, has been dragged into it🤣
You sound like someone I used to know? Deliberator?
:-) good guess.
Ok then, I will check out your new hiding place. I thought you left the blockchain entirely when you didn't post for months at one stage.
Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon.
