On Being an American Socialist

The Communist Manifesto of the American Socialist Party, following Karl Marx, stands for the following:

1. To each according to his, her, and or hae need, from each
according to his, her and or hae ability

2. Never treat a person merely as a means to an end.

3. Avoid the commodity fetishism of materialism

4. Do not believe in the false god of irrational authority.

5. Treat another as you would wish to be treated in similar circumstances.

6. The Law must favor those in genuine need.

7. Strive to act reasonably.

8. Avoid the crime and sin of hypocrisy.

9. Strive to live a simple life without being poor.

10. It is a crime and a sin to be a sophist.

11. Every person, without exception, has an individual, natural right of life, existence, liberty,
the pursuit of happiness, contract, property, and reputation, and the individual and
natural right to defend the same, anterior to the existence of the state.

Karl Marx, Dialectical Materialism and Capitalism

Law and Economics shows that Marxist Dialectical Materialism
Supports Reasonable Capitalism






In the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx states that all economic activity is based upon Dialectical Materialism. Now, of course Dialectical Materialism cannot mean merely physical forces, otherwise, dialectical materialism would just involve physical weather patterns, or some such thing, which really does not make much sense economically. Instead, we can see that "Dialectic" is a sort of process which involves various daoist or dialectical relationships. Thus, it is apparent that Dialectic Materialism, when applied to economics, involves the following relationships:



The Dialectic of Supply and Demand.

The Dialectic of Buyer and Seller.

The Dialectic of Wisdom and Ignorance.

The Dialectic of Good and Evil.

The Dialectic of Male and Female.

The Dialectic of Ying and Yang.

The Dialtectic of the Reasonable and the Unreasonable.

Given the foregoing, we can see that a command and control type, centrally planned economy violates the principle of Dialectical Materialism. Thus, we can see that the idea Supply Side Economics, put forth by Ronald Reagan is stupid and non-dialectic. You see, without the notion of Demand, it would seem that government would use coercive force to inauthentically tell people what to buy or want, or even need, rather than the real thing. Supply Side Economics involves only one side of the Dialectical relationship of Supply and Demand, and therefore violates communist economic principles as well as capitalist economic principles. Of course, instead of selfish and stupid short term profit maximization as a business or corporate goal, the end of business, or corporate, or economic activity should be to produce a reasonable profit, using reasonable management practices.
