This article covers Left Wing Socialism. In a previous article titled, Capitalist Socialist Economics in http://personalist.wpengine.com, I have listed the types of government social programs that enhance the abilities of the Producers. These Left Wing Socialism programs give Producers a foundation on which to create money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
Left Wing Socialism programs that enhance prosperity
• education,
• clean drinking water,
• sanitary waste management,
• honest banking ( including Public Banking),
• a Constant Money Supply,
• an Open Market,
• a Policing service that backs Producers when they correct the counter-producers,
• the correct size military industrial complex,
• Fire Protection,
• war only as the last resort;
• roads,
• bridges,
• airports,
• harbors
• other forms of transportation systems that could be monopolies;
• flood control projects,
• hydroelectric projects,
• large irrigation projects,
• health care systems that cover all citizens,
• retirement systems
Left Wing Socialism programs that reward non-production
• welfare programs,
• Government ownership of all production and distribution systems of a society or nation.
• Paying people based on need instead of based on production of commodities, trades, goods and services.
I have seen this activity taking place in government social programs and in private enterprise. I have seen non-producers receive pay and promotions in private organizations as well as in government organizations. I have seen destructive counter-producers receiving pay and promotion in private organizations as well as in government organizations. I have seen destructive people promoted to CEO positions and to the Presidency of a Nation. Once in the position they destroy the organization or Nation.
This all can be corrected. Leaders must remain vigilant about spotting super-producers and producers. They must ensure the super-producers and producers receive the pay and promotions. Remember super-producers and producers are too busy holding the organization together than to tell all who would listen how valuable they are. Look for the people who are working and laboring putting forth commodities, trades, goods and services. Spot the non-producers and counter-producers who are late to work, can’t get results, are unnecessarily critical of those around them, are rude and insulting, who suck up to the boss, who use drugs and excessive alcohol. Then pay and promote the super-producers and producers. Don’t ever pay and promote based on sympathy, “they will never have anything so I will help them.” They don’t have anything because they can’t or don’t produce. Remember when you are handing out pay, you are handing out pay that was created by the Producers and only the Producers! So, make sure you are handing out the correct amount of pay to the people who created it. Use a statistical system to measure productivity and pay accordingly.
Producers
The group defined as Producers includes people of all economic income levels. They range from poor producers through middle income producers all the way up to and including wealthy producers. All producers have several factors in common.
1. All their income is derived from the creation of commodities, trades, goods and/or services.
2. All of their creations are marketed on the Open Market (open to all on equal terms.)
3. Their creations don’t harm the common good. The common good is the benefit or interest of all. The common good is the benefit of or in the best interest of all individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments.
4. Their creations enhance, or don’t destroy, prosperity for the greatest numbers of people, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments.
Origin of the term Left Wing
Left wing is derived from the National Assembly of France. The Nobles sat to the Presidents right and the Commons sat to the left. The Nobles were the wealthy and powerful classes. The Commons were the ordinary, working classes of people. Most of the Producers were in the Commons or working and laboring classes. The Nobles were in the wealthy classes of people. The wealthy classes of people tend to redistribute and concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power, which are mostly created by the Commons, into their own hands. There are some Producers in the Noble or Right Wing classes as well. They should receive the correct pay based on what they have created during the production of commodities, trades, goods and services.
How the term “Right Wing Socialism” is derived
The Noble or Right Wing, by and large, tends to control governments. They use government programs to redistribute and concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands. This is where the term “Right Wing Socialism” is derived. It is generally accepted that the Noble class or the Right Wing is not socialistic. However it is found that they are very, very socialistic. They control and use government programs to channel huge amounts of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power away from the Commons or Producers. They channel it into the hands of the people in their class. These government social programs are very destructive to prosperity.
The Noble or Right Wing class considers they are conservative. There is a lot of confusion over what they are conserving. They are conserving the Noble rule. They are conserving the old destructive economic system of using the control of government to redistribute and concentrate the wealth of a nation into their hands.
The Left Wing is considered to be liberal or radical. There is a lot of confusion as to what they are liberal or radical about. The Left Wing has been working to change the Right Wing system of redistributing and concentrating the wealth. That is the wealth that is mostly created by the Commons or the Producers in the first place. The Noble or Right Wing considers this to be liberal or radical. The Noble or Right Wing considers it to be liberal or radical for the Commons or Producers to fight back when they use government programs to steal the wealth the Commons have created.
The Noble or Right Wing consider it to be liberal or radical for the Producers to stand up and say, NO I WON’T LET YOU STEAL THE MONEY I HAVE CREATED! The Noble or Right Wing has it backwards. The Left Wing has it correct. Producers who are mostly in the ranks of the Commons or Left Wing create most of the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. They own what they create. They are correct to protect and conserve what they have created.
Radical and Liberal Right Wing
As it turns out, it is very radical and liberal for the Noble or the Right Wing to redistribute and concentrate wealth that was created by the Commons or Left Wing. They are liberal by the definition that they believe government should be active in supporting social and political programs that allow them to redistribute and concentrate money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands. They are radical in that they use government to redistribute and concentrate money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands. They are also radical in the sense that they hold and follow extreme convictions. The extreme convictions are in believing government should be used by them to redistribute and concentrate money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power.
The Noble or Right Wing has it backwards. They are the liberals and radicals. It is immoral and destructive for Nobles or the Right Wing to use governments to take something that was not created by them. History has proven this over and over again. Whenever the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power is concentrated into the hands of a few rich and powerful individuals the society and nation recedes into recessions, depressions and wars. Redistributing and concentrating the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power of a nation into the hands of the Noble and Right Wing classes is very destructive. It is destructive to all individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments.
Individuals included in the Left Wing
The Left Wing includes the working and laboring Producers. It also includes individuals who do not work or labor. Even though they don’t work and labor they receive money from government social programs.
In the Commons class of people there are the Producers, workers/laborers, who receive benefits from government social programs. Also there are non-producers who receive benefits from different types of government social programs.
The Producers in the Commons class (Left Wing) of people benefit from government programs that enhance their ability to create commodities, trades, goods and services. These are government social programs that enhance prosperity. A list of Left Wing Socialism programs that enhances prosperity is listed above.
Communism is not Left Wing Socialism
Communism has been classified as Left Wing Socialism. The Communists have deceptively said their purpose is to benefit the workers or the Commons class of people. In practice, when the Communist Socialists control governments they carry out very similar programs as the Right Wing Socialists do when they control governments.
The Communist Socialists take control of governments. They take control of governments under the pretext of helping the working and laboring Producers. However when they attain control they use the power of government to redistribute and concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power away from the working and laboring Producers. They place it into their own hands.
Communism is really a practicing Right Wing Socialist entity. Communist Socialism and Right Wing Socialism are both composed of the wealthy and powerful classes using government programs to redistribute and concentrate money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their own hands. Communist Socialism and Right Wing Socialism are both really separate competing counter-producing entities. They have very ruthlessly fought each other in wars. They have carried out this competition at the expense of the Producers. The Producers (laborers/workers) have created the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power that are used by the Communist and Right Wing Socialists to conduct wars against each other.
Communist Socialists and Right Wing Socialists working together
In today’s world the Communist Socialists and the Right Wing Socialists are working together in their quest to redistribute and concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power away from the producing Commons. This is taking place between the Right Wing Socialists in the U.S. and Communist Socialists in Communist China. They are literally working together in a quest to redistribute and concentrate money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands.
The Producers are composed mostly of the Commons. The Commons are in the Left Wing. In the past the competition between the Communist Socialists and the Right Wing Socialists has been a very heavy burden for the producing Commons. The competition has been for control of governments so either the Communist Socialists or the Right Wing Socialists could redistribute and concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power created by the producing Commons. They place the money into their own hands through government programs. The producing Commons bear the cost of the wars fought between the Communist Socialists and the Right Wing Socialists. When the wars are over the Socialist group who won uses their control of the government to redistribute and concentrate more money away from the producing Commons.
In today’s world the producing Commons are bearing a huge burden with the Communist Socialists in China and the Right Wing Socialists in the U. S. working together. In the U.S. the Right Wing Socialists have teamed up with the Communist Socialist in China. China has already enslaved their Producers (Laborers/Workers). Instead of going to war with China to gain control of the Chinese Producers they realized it was easier to team up with the Chinese Communist Socialists. The Right Wing Socialists in the U.S. use the already enslaved Chinese Producers (laborers/workers) to work for them on very low wages. This was a huge win for the Right Wing Socialists and for the Chinese Communist Socialists. The teaming up of the Right Wing Socialists and the Communist Socialists was a big loss for the U.S. producing Commons (workers/laborers). They have seen declining wages and jobs lost. The Right Wing Socialists have been using Communist Socialists to destroy the U.S. economy and transfer huge quantities of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power over to the Chinese Communist Socialists who rule China. This transfer of power to China has allowed them to increase the size of their military.
Common People
The Left Wing is made up of the Common people. Most Producers are among the Common people. There are some non-producers and counter-producers in the Commons also.
There are two types of government social programs that benefit the Commons. One is for poor people, called Welfare. The other type is composed of social programs that assist Producers of all income levels to create prosperity. These are government programs that benefit the whole economic system as it strives toward higher and higher levels of prosperity.
Conclusion
Communism once thought of as a type of Left Wing Socialism is a destructive form of socialism. It is destructive because the people in power use the force of government to create social programs that enable the powerful leaders to redistribute and concentrate huge amounts of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power away from the Producers. Communism as practiced is very destructive to prosperity. Communist Socialism and Right Wing Socialism are very similar. They are competing systems of people in power who are competing for the control of governments. Once in power they both set up social programs that allow them to redistribute and concentrate the wealth of a nation into the hands of those in power.
Left Wing Socialism has programs that enhance prosperity. They are listed above and are pro-prosperity programs. They enhance the prosperity for all individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments.
Left Wing Socialism programs (Welfare) that reward non-producers should be a short term temporary aid to people who find themselves temporarily out of work. They can be beneficial programs in a society striving toward prosperity. There will always be a few non-producers who will never be able to physically produce. They will be on these programs their entire lives. There should be far, far fewer people than we find today.
The Right Wing Social programs that reward non-producers and counter-producers in the Noble, Wealthy and Ruling classes are destructive to the prosperity for all individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments.
It is found that many Communist social programs and Right Wing social programs fall into the same class of rewarding wealthy, ruling non-producers and counter-producers.
There has been a myth that all socialism is harmful to prosperity. Communist and Right Wing socialism are both very destructive to prosperity. The Left Wing Social Programs that reward Producers have been very important for individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, mankind and environments in their quest to achieve increasing prosperity.
