"the failures of capitalist society"
socialism = economic chaos, anarchy of production, shortages, waiting lines, hoarding, rationing, aristocratic privilege for leaders, mass misery for masses, tyranny, totalitarian dictatorship, exploitation, forced/slave labor, terrorism, mass murder, mass impoverishment, black markets
statist central planning + narrow statist political incentives and decisions + statist bureaucratic management + state ownership & state control + statist monopoly = shortages + economic chaos + destruction + inefficiencies + waste + malinvestment + capital decumulation = disaster & catastrophe & misery

This song is about two prisoners who know that they will soon be executed, and the hour is getting late. There are two executioners riding up to the prison. The prisoners are spending their last moments alive discussing the meaning and purpose of life. |
