"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" - Kris Kristofferson - "Me and Bobby McGee" ...

I also like Mae West's character's definition in Klondike Annie "Freedom's just another word for one more way to get fucked."

The real owner(s) of all property and resources is neither the "State" nor any private individual.

God - the Supreme Person from Whom everything and everyone has emanated - is the real proprietor, and as descendants of God we all have a right to live off the land according to our need.

There are different classes of people by nature in terms of different combinations of goodness, passion, and ignorance, and the business class (conducted by mixed modes of passion and ignorance) needs to be controlled by a more passionate, less ignorant administrative class, which in turn is guided by an intellectual class that is more predominantly in the mode of goodness.

In the Vedic social model, the general labor class would assist the three higher classes, and all their needs were provided for.

A socialist/communist system is best for the laborer class, a capitalist system is best for the business class, monarchy is best for the administrative/military class and anarchism is best for the intellectual class.

Of course, in modern times the natural social divisions are more blurred (due largely to unscientific mating) but in every society you can still find these different classes of people.

Pragmatic government needs to combine capitalism with social welfare programs to keep the social body functioning cooperatively, and the "head" of society (real intellectuals) need to provide enlightened counsel to leaders to keep society progressing spiritually as well as materially.

Here's a more detailed discussion of the original Vedic social system (before it became corrupted into the "caste system") and its potential adaptability to modern cultures.

So far, I think I'm most impressed with the posts implying it's OK to kill people for profit as long as it's corporate profit. God forbid that anyone be held responsible for their actions or that criminal negligence be actually punished. If a foreign power had been responsible for the number of deaths at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory, the responses on this thread would have been quite different, I dare say.
