Communitarian Economics





                     
I think of myself as a Communitarian. I do not believe that the Government should own anything except Military assets, public buildings, interstate transportation infrastructure, and Public parks & land. I believe that all programs for the general welfare should be funded out of the public purse, but should be provided through the productive capacity of the competitive economy. 
      
Marx was a student of Hegel's Philosophy and based Communism on the belief that it was the ultimate and final synthesis. He was wrong and the State of "no government" never evolved as Marx's philosophy predicted. A Dictatorship never willing gives up power. The "Oligarch of Wealth" that Capitalism has created to hold Power over us will not willingly give up power.  

It can and will fall to the power of Democracy if members of the human community eventually embrace the concept that the American community is entitled to a portion of the assets of the economy for the common good. That is the concept of power that governs Communitarianism. Communitarians believe in a balance between the elimination of Poverty and the exceptional reward that is owed to the exceptional achiever.
