It's like habit with the quotes and sometimes I slip back.

 

Then try thinking a bit more before you hit the "post" button.

 

Or yet again, spend more time and effort in trying to find a job, any job, than spouting drivel on here!! :angry:

You mean like the habit of whinging about how dreadful the system is for people with no job, rather than applying yourself to actually finding a job.

And before the big guns come blasting in my direction, the truth is now thousands and thousands of people now perceive capitalism as negative worldwide. I'm far from being aminority.

 

While billions wholeheartedly embrace capitalism .... methinks ou are still in a minority

Hi FORTUNATA- I fairly new on here & just finished catching up with this thread. Enjoyable, I think.

 

Have you been able to find any employment even if just part-time & not your ideal?

 

Last time I was unemployed I worked for nothing, took a chance & through my efforts my 'not paying' me boss (he could not afford to take anyone on at the time but needed some help) helped get me a job through another Business.

I cleaned toilets, painted, attended meetings, made tea, filed accounts, assisting in basic marketing, basically got stuck in. His Business is now doing well, as am I.

 

I wish you success & hope any effort you make, above the 'norm', eventually gets rewarded.

 

Genuine post, so I hope you are not winding us all up & are a secret millionaire teasing us.

Being in a minority is good. The minority is usually always right and the majority almost always wrong. History shows the minority were usually always rejected by the majority - told the world was flat and not a globe.

Now, the negative remarks towards communism would enforce that view. I happen to know that Einstein made up his mind that communism was, in effect, superior to capitalism and Einstein was a deep thinker. He analysed his subject before drawing a conclusion (not just physics). Yes, he was disappointed in the authoritarian system in the USSR but I don't think Einstein's view changed.

Please never forget it was the Communists who put the first and woman in space as well as the first satellite. Also other ground-breaking exploits in space such as MIR and advanced satellite photgraphy. The world's most advanced eye surgery technology.

However one very crucial point is I do not recommend a literal return to communism. I believe Gorbachev would have possibly managed a liberal, socialist, equal USSR had his policies succeeded. Also a democratic system with free markets allowed (communism never specifically outlawed free markets).

As to the repeated return to work, mass unemployment in Europe and beyond is result of policy, not individulality. It's a symptom of a social malfunction, not a choice. It effects millions of people but could probably eradicated if we had a proper system as an alternative to wild west economics.

Well, I imagine nobody here will agree but I talk on the net every day to people who do and from all parts of the globe.

Will hard socialism male a comeback, yes!

 

"I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate (the) grave evils (of capitalism), namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society."

You will find that the scientific minority believed the world was a sphere, the religious minority told everyone that they must believe the earth is flat and the vast majority couldn't have cared less as long as there was food on the table and the table was paid for.

 

Nothing much changes.

If you truly believe that then there is no hope. No wonder no-one wants to employ you.

 

The majority view is usually right although I agree, not always. Thinking for yourself is a Good Thing. Taking the contrary view simply BECAUSE it is the contrary view and assuming it must therefore must be right is a trait mostly seen in the hard of thinking.

 

Occasionally the majority view is spectacularly wrong but this is noteworthy specifically because it is unusual.

Socialism would work if greed was taken out of the equation, so would capitalism. As long as there's greed for money and greed for power nothing will ever change.

Capitalism depends on greed, though, otherwise it becomes socialism along Scandinavian lines.

Had another job interview. I was one of many but the company was a good one. Interview was well over an hour. They did ask about C.V. gaps and I had to cover myself best as possible. In reality I think all jobs now have a lot of applicants. This is my second interview and I didn't do too badly but have a feeling I didn't quite get it. They just said to leave the phone on and will phone to let me know.

I'd be on a phone all day basically doing advertising.

It didn't but I was in there over an hour. It was advertising sales in the public sector so I had to turn up in a tie and look the part. I think they were definitely interested but concerned about lack of direct sales background. The job was about 12 K per year basic and they claimed some staff were on 40 K.

Gave it my best shot and at least the interview was lengthy. I did actually offer to do a work trial but they said they couldn't do that. One or two friends were pulling my leg about that one and said, "Well, they don't even want you for free!"

Still, at least I did get an interview.

 

Good luck to you - hope it goes your way

I think you have had a lucky escape there. I'd hate to be the person who cold-calls me, I am very rude

Any plonker who cold calls deserves you to be rude with them, there is never a valid reason for cold calling, they are all plonkers.
