There's One Economy for the Rich and a Very Different One for the Have-Nots. Guess Which One the Politicians (Both Parties) Want to Boost When They Say 'It's the Economy, Stupid'?

Tariffs or corporate tax cuts? Either way its the economy of the rich they're trying to boost.

As the Dow Jones soars and Wall Street grins, the have-nots have trouble paying for groceries and the rent or mortgage. It’s obvious what is going on! There is an economy for the rich and a very different economy for the have-nots.

As long as the rich remain in power (no matter which party) the people with the real power in society will be working to boost the economy for the rich. They’ll try this and they’ll try that—tariffs, corporate tax cuts, stimulus programs for certain industries, fiddling with the prime rate of interest, whatever—hoping to stumble on something that works—i.e., works for them. But no matter how successful they may or may not be, they’re working for the rich, not for us, the have-nots.

Here’s what it takes to have an economy for the have-nots

First, the rich must be removed from power. The have-nots actually did this in about half of Spain in 1936-9 (read about it here), something the rich work hard to keep secret because they don’t want us to be inspired by it to do the same.

The have-nots in Spain created an egalitarian society based on no rich and no poor. Workers and peasants cooperated VOLUNTARILY¹ to produce goods and services based on the egalitarian principle of “From each according to reasonable ability², to each according to need or reasonable desire with scarce things equitably rationed according to need.”

Guess what happened? Economic production INCREASED enormously compared to the prior capitalist production. Read about this in detail here.

What was it like working in an industry operated for the have-nots instead of the rich? Read about this here.

What was the government like in a society run by the have-nots instead of the rich? Read this eyewitness account of a meeting of the sovereign governmental authority in a Spanish town around 1937 to find out.

This is what it takes to have an economy that is good for us, the have-nots.

Read here all about the principles of an egalitarian economy.

Yes, the egalitarian revolution in Spain was defeated by its fascist (and Marxist, and liberal democratic) enemies after three years.

There are reasons why this revolution was defeated, including high on the list serious mistakes made by its anarchist leaders, which I discuss here. We need to learn from these mistakes. But the lesson is NOT that we should leave the rich in power!

Most people ALREADY want to remove the rich from power.

Read (and see) here the proof that most people already want to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor. Read here how and why the rich keep this a secret.

Read here how YOU can help build the egalitarian revolutionary movement to remove the rich from power.

1. The opposite of how Marxist/Communist collectives were involuntary and oppressive in the Soviet Union

2. Most people, whether they’ve ever heard the word or not, are egalitarians. Egalitarians, being reasonable people, will no doubt count children and retired elderly and people physically or mentally or for any other reason unable to work as "working reasonably"  even though they do no work, and likewise deem it "reasonable work" when people care for their own or other children or for other sick adults or attend school or apprentice programs to learn skills so as to be able to work in the future. Also, being reasonable people, egalitarians will no doubt take into account, when deciding how much work is reasonable, how onerous or unpleasant or dangerous some kinds of work are compared to other kinds.
