BELITTLED INTO DISUSE
BY THE BOTTOM LINE
Any philosophy that doesn’t recognize
the primacy of the individual is a trap
aimed at turning you into a number.
A world without hope
doesn’t have long to live.
When they killed the churches, they killed morality. Churches were
the glue that tied neighborhoods together. It didn’t matter that
religions destroy themselves as they try to conceal their own false
dogma or succumb to their own human frailties. Now most neighborhoods
are gone, too, vaporized first by malls, then by immigration, and more
lately by the Internet. Underlying all this social change was the
century of corporate capitalism, which today more resembles a
preliminary steppingstone in an inevitable metamorphosis toward
communism which corporations and banks seem to desire.
