The advocates of liberalism say that survival is a perquisite of being the fittest, that competition ensures the fitness and so on and so forth. I then ask what for is the culture, institutions, norms, values if the question to survive still remains a matter of concern, if fitness still remains to be the determinant of one`s progress?? Is n`t it a primordial and instinctual process of institutiona
lization?? Why is it always about competition and not collaboration & cooperation?

I think there is a fundamental problem with the institutions of socialization that we have or that we are evolving in to. These social institutions have to be actively developed in order to socialize and develop "human beings" and not commodities. If Human greed is the cause then we have to have a superstructure to control it. And that superstructure can be developed only when the relations of production ceases to remain in the hands of private control.

And that i think is an important indicator of a real progressive society........
When "Human Greed" extends its arms to get hold of "Human Rights" and when the institutions of society do not question it, we should be convinced that the society is progressing towards the path of its own degeneration.

The whole point is that the much advocated " Capitalism" (e.g. in the form of FDI in multibrand retail etc.) & "Social Well Being" is a mutually contradictory, non existent, indif
ferent and imaginary concept which is intermittently constructed by its advocates in order to sell dreams and commodify humanity.

When Air, Water and Food, land is monopolized in a free market, one can imagine the stretch of the "Maximum" profit it brings with it. Capitalism does bring with it technology, innovation, efficiency etc as long as they have their utility, but it also brings madness and enslavement and exploitation. We need to understand the exploitative theory of dependence that operates in a Neo-liberal market structure.

They rationalize saying that the "State" is there to maintain the checks and balances but what happens in reality is that the State itself is checked and balanced.

The conspiracy of "Human Greed" has many such facets.....
