Socialism will be the Wave of the Future

The Inevitability of International Democratic Socialism: A Path to Global Utility

The trajectory of human civilization is a ceaseless search for systems that maximize collective well-being while preserving individual liberty. In this historical evolution, international democratic socialism, underpinned by a globally empowered United Nations (UN), presents itself not merely as a utopian ideal, but as the pragmatic and inevitable culmination of this search. This system, which combines political democracy with social ownership and economic democracy, is positioned to ultimately win out because it uniquely resolves the chronic instabilities of contemporary capitalism. By leveraging Keynesian principles for robust growth, establishing an unparalleled degree of social justice, and adhering strictly to the utilitarian ethic of the greatest good for the greatest number, this unified global framework promises to eliminate the deep-seated social tensions that plague the current world order, ensuring equitable advancement for all, including historically disadvantaged minority groups and races.

A Tax Increase will NOT Hurt the Economy

The Stimulative Power of Fiscal Neutrality: A Keynesian View on Taxes and Spending

Conventional economic wisdom often suggests that a tax increase is always a negative force in the economy, reducing consumer disposable income and slowing down growth. However, Keynesian theory offers a sophisticated counter-argument, encapsulated in the powerful concept of the balanced budget multiplier (BBM). This principle demonstrates that when government expenditure rises by the exact same amount as taxation, the net effect is a positive, debt-free boost to the overall economy. This unique outcome is explained by the fundamental mechanics of the multiplier effect and the distinct channels through which government spending and tax collection affect aggregate demand.
