THE ORIGIN OF THE CATCHPHRASE
Kamala Harris is famed for her ecological recycling of catchphrases. It looks like there is a table where she selects a chinese cookie and there is a small paper with a phrase that she will use.
Unburdened by what has been is a beautiful phrase, containing the hope of a better future that does not have to carry the sins of the past. Sins meaning that there were errors in the past or a break up with the traditions.
This phrase can be tracked to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels “The Communist Manifesto”, where they want to destroy the bourgeoisie and create this new paradigm in Communism. Ipsis verbis it reads “In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present. In communist society the present dominates the past.”
Under capitalism or conservative rules, the the past is a mainstay of the present due to the evolutionary nature of the society. The capital goods are accumulated by generations of individuals that apply the principles of savings and investment successfully. Observing that the individuals and families are not the same over the generations, there is a lot of changes on the fates of the families fortunes.
Under communism, the posit is of the means of production being managed consciously for the benefit of the members of society, not tied to the private ownership by means of inheritance, but available for all members, in accordance to their needs and their competencies.
The obvious flaw in this approach is that the body of knowledge has to be preserved in order to achieve this communist target, but the same knowledge of manufacturing goods and offering services still contains the knowledge of how to save and invest.
Even if this saving is not in money or something of immediate economic power. Saving may be of time, for the individual to pursue a private interest and investment can be of studies in order to position oneself better in the future. The idea of breaking with the past seems to mean only confiscation of wealth and the breakage of traditional family inheritance rights. Remembering that in Leninist and Stalinist Soviet Union, the children of the commissars had access to better schooling due to their parents power position.
KAMALA HARRIS UMPREPARED BY WHO HAS BEEN
There are several individuals that have great minds of themselves. There are several individuals that have hired great minds to help them. Someone like Sam Walton made his own business more or less by himself. Bill Gates was never a genius programmer but had hired programmers or purchased companies owned by genius programmers and as a brilliant businessmen has built Microsoft.
Kamala Harris is different from these two she was not the best candidate for the Democrat party. When the actual condition of Joe Biden mental health was uncovered the Democrat party had to replace him on the ticket and not loose the almost billion dollars donations given to the Biden-Harris ticket.
She was raised to the top of the ticket due to the impossibility of transferring the donations to another ticket without her name. This is confirmed by the surge in donations after the Democrat party convention that confirmed her nomination, although she had zero votes from the Democrat party caucus.
Her views for solving the problems of America is to have more government interference in the market.
The students can’t pay their loans? Get a federal bail out.
The young can’t afford mortgages because of high interest rates? Give them 25 K dollars as a present.
The immigrants don’t find jobs because they are unqualified? Give them free room and a monthly allowance to buy food.
In Harris mind – her advisers – all the problems are solved with more money thrown into it. This has several characteristics that benefits her candidacy. Forgiving students debt is vote buying in disguise. A bad disguise and it has been forbidden by the Supreme Court. It will be challenged in the future but in the future, the decision will be unburdened by the votes that has been cast for Democrat party. Giving home buyers 25k dollars is explicit vote buying. The cost of houses just got adjusted to 30K more, just in case.
Socialist vision is what Kamala Harris believe as solution because her whole life has only experienced a quasi socialism that works. Her parents are professors in universities, her father a extremist left thinker with a capital redistributionist inclination by having the government acting on the labor market rising the workers income. Her mother is an accomplished PhD biologist from Madras India. They divorced in 1971.
Kamala Harris was picked by Willie Brown as mistress while still married, but separated from his wife. She was elected Alameda County District Attorney and later Attorney General of California and Senator from California a secure red seat.
She has made all of her career in the government.
WORD SALAD
Kamala Harris is portrayed as unable to produce proper a sentence without a teleprompter and is famous for her repeated phrases.
This is not the pattern of a fool. She is a trained socialist that knows the slogans very well and has knowledge of the contents of The Communist Manifesto as per her favorite phrase as well as her mindset of having higher and higher taxes imposed on capital and even unrealized capital gains.
Harris has an assortment of counsellors that are sophisticated socialists that have worked in Obama’s White House as well as in her senate office as well as people from Biden’s cabinet. These people do believe in acting on the economy to make it more equal to all participants, charging higher taxes on the wealthy and giving money to those dispossessed.
Her answers today are even more confusing, because she is trying to present herself as a centrist after being a radical left winger her whole political career.
Harris has been against fracking all her career. Biden-Harris government has actually banned fracking on federal land and this has been reversed now in speeches where she says she is not against fracking even lying about, saying she never banned fracking, hiding behind Joe Biden in this case. The truth is that she has turned 180 degrees to pander to the Pennsylvania electorate.
Harris also has been an advocate of banning Internal Combustion Engines and has turned around due to the failure of the EVs initiative, costing 8 billion dollars of taxpayers money and building only seven charging stations. Moreover the market has not formed as expected, with shortage of charging stations and shortage of electricity. Now, she claims that she does not sponsor the EV mandate, although she championed it as president of the senate and as senator. The EV mandate requires the production of ICE to be less than 44% after 2032.
A politician change position to please the electorate and the electorate knows that the politician has changed the position to please them. The problem for Harris is that she is changing positions in a full turn around on too many issues that are important to the public.
She turned around regarding the Border Wall in the south, when she called it a “vanity project of Donald Trump”. She turned around regarding confiscation of firearms, with mandatory buybacks by the government.
Her next turnaround will be age of the president. Kamala Harris defended the decrepit Joe Biden saying that age was not relevant, but now as Donald Trump is 78, she will claim that the White House is not a geriatric hospital, forgetting that dementia suffering Joe Biden is still a patient in the White House geriatric ward.
