Economics and ideological fanaticism

The leaders of European countries, whether left or right, apply a policy of "reducing state budgets". If the mass of money distributed to the population decreases, the overall purchasing power also decreases and thus sales to the greater part of the population. This is further amplified by wage cuts in the private sector. This reduction in sales volume automatically corresponds to a reduction in tax receipts, starting with VAT. The result is that the deficit of the countries implementing this policy increases, with indebtedness in some cases rising from 36% to 100% of the state budget in two or three years.

One does not have to be very good at economics or mathematics to understand that the reduction in the purchasing power of the population will have negative consequences both for the state budget and for the sales of enterprises. Political propaganda tries to present this as a recovery of the economy through the revival of exports enabled by the reduction of costs due to lower wages. Already, when we know that in Europe several countries are experiencing a serious economic crisis when wages are 3 or 4 times lower than in the largest countries, we measure the absurdity of this propaganda. Then, if we compare wages in Western countries with those of many countries on other continents, this is no longer credible. In addition, the determining component for the price of a product is not salary but productivity, not to mention the very significant additional costs added by financial parasitism or speculation. The "ready to think" distilled by the media therefore has nothing to do with reality. It is then legitimate to ask what is the real purpose of this policy !

The answer to this question has several aspects. First of all, a superficial analysis made by some of the actors in the economy gives them the impression that if wages fall it will lead to lower costs and higher sales. In reality, while wages are falling, purchasing power is also falling with a corresponding reduction in sales overall. Obviously, the head of an enterprise who takes into account only his own enterprise, does not integrate this phenomenon because he does not take into account the overall effect of this policy. This is an error in analysis, or rather, an erroneous "element analysis" method.

A significant part of the actors of the economy considers that the purpose of managing any activity is to allow them to make a financial profit with the help of their capital. With this in mind, they see the population as a herd that needs to be managed effectively, separating useless mouths from those who work effectively for the prosperity of their capital. The notion of the economy as a means of meeting the needs of people is completely alien to them. They tend to think of themselves as a superior race that "knows" how to effectively manage the economy. For this part of the population, capital is a title that plays the same role as the titles of nobility of feudalism in the past. We understand the desire of these ruling classes to reduce social budgets, for health or education and especially for pensions.

If we look at what happened in countries where this kind of policy could be applied to the end, for example, during the fall of the USSR, what result did it lead to ? The average age of survival of the population had decreased from almost 80 years to 59 which has actually significantly reduced the problem of pensions (pensioners and future pensioners take note...) Many elderly people died prematurely. Similarly the jounger ones who could have survived long enough with proper medical care also died. Then the desire to reduce the health budget is better understood. The ideological fanaticism of these "financial capitalists" is one of the sources of current politics. However, this does not explain everything, because one of the results of the policy applied during the fall of the USSR was also to eliminate whole swathes of industry and technology with a reduction in the production capacity of the real economy which may have reached 60%, or even more in some cases. Whatever the weight of this layer of financiers, it is unlikely that leaders at the highest level will not know the effects of their policies on the real economy. So what are they playing at ?

We will try to find an answer to this question. If we look at the global situation of the world economy, we quickly discover that the "American dream", or even the level of consumption of the whole West, is based on the creation at will of dollars thanks on the one hand to petrodollars and on the other hand to American interventions against any country or leader who tries to counter this policy that allows the United States, but also partly to Europe, to pay for imports with money created from nothing, "out of thin air".

What would be the relationship with the current austerity policy? The ability of the United States to create dollars at will is threatened by the Chinese currency and the real economy that gives it its value. It is necessary to realize that China's actual production is several times higher than that of the United States. To this is added the rise of Iran, the beginning of Russia's recovery as well as the creation of alliances between an increasing number of countries and China, Russia and even Iran. These alliances are aimed at ending the extraction of wealth that is the result of U.S. policy. If the latter country were to deliver real production in exchange for its imports, it would be bankrupt with the result of a total economic and social collapse and probably even the break - up of this country into several independent states.

The goal of American policy and therefore of the main European leaders is to maintain the supremacy of the dollar. The problem is that China, Russia or even Iran are much harder to beat than Iraq or Libya. From the perspective of these western leaders, it is therefore necessary to devote all resources to preparing for war against these countries, to eliminate all "unnecessary" expenses and at the same time to create a population reserve (the unemployed) from which to draw into cannon fodder.

We are moving towards the third world war in which all types of weapons will be used, whether they are sophisticated means of population manipulation, biological, chemical or even most likely nuclear weapons. The financial feudalism that has taken power in most Western countries leads to their disappearance. The problem is that it also risks leading the human species to its disappearance. It is time for people to wake up!
