A recent post in this blog about the collapse of Venezuela’s health care system is representative of this country’s slide into anarchy due to a crumbling economy for which only money can be held responsible regardless of the political philosophy that has driven it into the ground.
Numerous reports have surfaced of Venezuelan cities running out of food with resulting riots in stores and attacks on local businesses that are desperately trying to support the people through this very difficult time.
This is only one country, but such an economic plague will be spread the world over unless we rid ourselves of the scourge at the very heart of it: Money.
If you were to take an honest look at what BENEFIT money has done versus what SUFFERING it has brought Humanity, then you would very likely conclude that we need to abandon our system of trading in goods and services and share the wealth of the world without thought of compensation.
That is what Venezuelans would want right now because this is what Money has brought them: A life where Money has no regard or concern for their fate.
Unfortunately, this is a perfect example of where other countries cannot afford to help another in desperate need not because they don’t have supplies, but because they lack the money to support their will to help.
If we lived in a world where the concept of money did not exist, then our neighbors — whether next door or on the other side of the planet — would see help arrive without delay because we would not think twice if aid money being sent will not be stolen by corrupt individuals or governments. The proper focus would truly be on rescuing those in need because supplies and services could flow freely.
