Osvaldo Sunkel is a political theorist who made critical observations with respect to systems theory. He concluded that the world political system involved three tiers of states with varying degrees of influence within the international system. The most powerful states are in the top tier. States who seek redress and push for system change are in the second tier while the third tier states do their best within the world system and its various currents, cooperative engagements, programs, ebbs and flows. This is old but not so strange news; after all. Economically, Sunkel demonstrates that the world economy is a single system economy that can be described as a closed cage or vacuum. He says the system is capitalist. But, the word "capitalist" is quite loaded with various presumptions that lead to distortions and certain inconsistencies. The international economy, in fact, works on fundamental market dynamics in spite of any socialist or capitalist theories of any kind or any other theories concerning world economic divisions of labour or theories on Economies of scale. The principles are a-dynamic in nature and function. Capitalism, however, is one of the best familiar descriptors of these principles in a world with a small hegemonic vocabulary and paradigm. But, fundamental market dynamics do not follow ideologies. Capitalism is an ideology akin to communism. Communism should be referred to now as re-distributive capitalism. It is a paradigm that suggests dependency but promoted market principles, suggesting competition and creativity as much as possible. Communism, also referred to as Redistributive capitalism, will provide a one bed apartment for every adult who completes high school. If you want equity, you can hope to get a job and buy the unit. Then, you will be a land owner. In between capitalism and communism, you find marxism that suggests there is enough for everyone in a free market economy but every citizen should be guaranteed a good education by the state to be civil citizens in a civil society and there should be an appropriate redistribution of wealth to ensure a minimum degree of sheltered dignity, safety and mobility or work in a world of mechanized industrialism. They can answer five calls a day, two days a week from home for the post office and consume on a salary of $40000.00. Nobody wants to stay home all day and the $40000.00 is there until death. If you work for a company, they will pay you an additional top up hourly payment or fee as part of the master and servant covenant. The citizen can also work part-time else where if they wish to finance that cool new ride or be judged in a used 2007 Camaro or something or other but who should judge you?. Any activities or systems that attempt to operate in a manner that is extraneous to fundamental market dynamics in domestic and international markets cannot survive for very long and that extraneous system will find that it will show signs of burden and may also falter due to its counter-intuitive nature or since it will not have produced sufficient product and is not in favor, in some stages of history, due to insufficient rainbow painting on bridges etc or legalized homosexuality, homosexual weddings and homosexual divorces. It can't be that they will say about homosexuals that...hmm.. nobody does customer service better. This does not mean that societies and economies cannot have amazingly generous social programs and in fact they should these days as cash becomes more electronic and easier to tax. Due to electronic cash transactions, government tax coffers have increased exponentially and this is also due to the lack of a competitive market in consumer vehicle energy costs( the cost of petrol/gas at the pump) with the associated tax you video game, X- box and I pod junkies having it stuck in you. But, who could pay attention except obey and buy gas to buy more food unless...you could buy a Audi hybrid vehicle with the economy mode and save the cash on gas. In spite of the most generous social programs as needed, productivity will not subside since there will always be motive to have more and more and be your own man or at least show up at the gas station in anything you like and there is soo much choice; hence the offers to cut off a toe or two. Family background will always lead to inequalities so there is no issue about that. That will always remain and humans have varying degrees of creativity next to other potential issues in social stratification. That is why there is modular, well designed glassy and steel furniture to ensure no one gets too depressed. But, its good to have lots and lots of consumers to keep everybody buying the things that society will not allow you to make maybe on mass because your ears do not fit the image or maybe its your extra pretty elbows. Marx has something to say about this. He never denied the need to produce and sell; hence the need for good education so that every citizen will find his niche and have something to produce as machines encroached upon man's role as a worker. There is no need to fear millions of people being able to read Shakespeare. They should assign two such plays for English class in the first year of High School; like they used to. The department that creates safe and viable competitive markets in all arenas to prevent undue murders of dutiful cab drivers or doctors is important since no one is trying to show off. Cab drivers and Doctors have a duty. Did you hear about the cab driver who was bumped off for finding the most efficient and direct route to help his paying client since some cab driver down the road thought he was showing off to think of it? He also bought a cheap watch that saves the money on a yearly $12.00 watch battery as it uses a lot of good technology. It costs the same as a Divisionopolitan collector's issue magazine, a Timex or as a Fossilizing. They are just trying to maintain a fearful duty like the big gas man and bring some frozen pizzas home in their used vehicle.
It is the continuing policy of Londinium TV Channel to discuss everything in a light hearted manner and to let everyone know that homosexuals are human beings. It is also to share the gospel. They should be as well respected in public as any bible believing Christian. Hatred is not tolerated against homosexuals and nor should anyone tolerate anyone, including homosexuals, perpetrating crimes of anger, passions and violence.
