The Significance
Of
Competitive Currency
In
Voluntary Social Beings
From
Joe’s Law
A
Productive Power Perspective
Socrates:
Welcome to today’s dialogue with the historical creator of the Socratic Method, me, Socrates. With us today is the creator of Joe’s Law; Joe. How are you doing Joe?
Joe:
I’m alright, but my conscience concerning the screams of agony from the tortured and mass murdered millions by the legal criminals running the U.S. Corporate Nation State are growing louder in my sub-conscience – encroaching further into my conscience daily. They need not suffer so.
Socrates:
You got that right. So what is all the hubbub about the current currency issue?
Joe:
Wow, dude, I really like the way you use the words “current” and “currency” in the same sentence like that, it really speaks of time’s nature; we are all stuck in the process don’t you know?
Socrates:
It pays to read.
Joe:
And write.
Socrates:
The question?
Joe:
Excuse me, I almost forgot the screams again: Current efforts to compete in the Global currency markets include combined efforts by the most powerful contenders to the throne of “Reserve Currency” status now held firmly by The Dollar Hegemony.
Socrates:
Please; in English, our listeners may not be able to swallow so much in such a short time.
Joe:
Right; the significance of competition is easy to understand from a consumers perspective. Suppose for example…
Socrates:
Oh yes; I do like the suppositions. Let’s suppose…
Joe:
Suppose that Joe consumer is at the currency store looking for some high quality and low cost currency…
Socrates:
Hold on.
Joe:
What?
Socrates:
Did you repeat yourself; say the same thing twice, with different words?
Joe:
Not exactly, I know what you mean though. Low cost is high quality, but don’t forget about accuracy. We all want the same thing – at the expense of no one.
Socrates:
OK, go on.
Joe:
Back at the currency store, the consumer has a choice, but only when competition is in force.
Socrates:
Enforced by The Dollar Hegemony?
Joe:
Are you being a smart ass?
Socrates:
I’m playing my part.
Joe:
No, and this is a very good point, The Dollar Hegemony expends great power toward the elimination of any competition at all, anywhere.
Socrates:
Seriously
Joe:
As serious as nuclear war, and the extermination of our species – so – the consumer is empowered by competition which is enforced by productive activity, not by fiat, not by dictate, not by destructive power, no, competition is a productive, collective, voluntary, and dare I say “anarchistic” power, enforced by every competitor who manages to offer a supply to any demand – in competition with – other suppliers. The force behind competition is strictly voluntary and quite the opposite of the typical top-down structure.
Socrates:
Another mouth full, again, we need to keep it simple – stupid.
Joe:
Consumers certainly know a good deal when the see one. Interest in having a demand supplied well, instead of a demand supplied poorly is consumer knowledge – by definition.
Socrates:
Back at the currency store?
Joe:
Yes, so the average Joe consumer goes to the currency store and on the shelf are two, instead of one, currency products. Joe prefers the higher quality product at the lower cost, no different than buying a lawn mower?
Socrates:
A dark skinned unpaid worker, or slave, to keep the grass trimmed neatly?
Joe:
Selling people is now a black market, and I hear that young white women are in demand. The times have certainly changed.
Socrates:
Perhaps not so much.
Joe:
Perhaps, but the lawn mower I intended to illustrate is an example of something on the shelf, and it is powered by gasoline or electricity, it is powered thusly: it is pushed around by Joe consumer himself, or by his son when Joe can get him to do something, anything.
Socrates:
Kids still don’t listen?
Joe:
Not much.
Socrates:
Go on.
Joe:
Would you buy a dirty, rusty, paint chipped, lawn mower with a missing wheel and a bent handle for 100 units of currency on the same shelf as a brand new lawn mower, with a money back guarantee, where the lawn mower is given away (so as to sell the gasoline or the electricity) – or would you go for the higher quality choice (at a lower cost)?
Socrates:
Where did everyone go?
Joe:
These days we have to speak in sound bites, or people walk away.
Socrates:
Until the enemy is at the gates?
Joe:
Or already inside.
Socrates:
In congress.
Joe:
Yup
Socrates:
As the world turns?
Joe:
We call it a soap opera, or, “The Business Cycle”
Socrates:
Monkey business?
Joe:
Legal criminals.
Socrates:
Ahhh
