The Mission of Betrayal: Shepherd Wolves, Red Herrings and Poisoned Meatballs, 12

Keynesianism considers there is an existing scene, called “real” gross domestic product, and an ideal scene, called “natural” gross domestic product. (The noun “gross domestic product” indicates the total amount of what a country has “produced” as quantifiable in “monetary terms”; that this is a deliberately and destructively faulty yardstick is another story we’ll take up later; what we’re interested in here are these adjectives associated to it.)
On this basis, Keynesianism further considers that the “real” gross domestic product is “unnatural”, that is, below−optimal, and thus an intervention is justified to “stimulate” the “real” towards the optimal “natural”.
On this basis, Keynesianism rejects the classical economic doctrine that could be summed up in “leaving alone” a self−regulating economy, and maintains that a treatment must be imposed upon the patient, thus regardless of his will, in a sort of “involuntary economic commitment”: both the government and the citizens may be required to increase spending and consumption to “stimulate” the “existing” scene towards the “ideal” scene, and this most definitely includes squandering one’s savings first, and then continuing by running into debt.
Everything must be sacrificed on the altar of the “stimulation” of economy, and this provides the rationale for whatever totalitarian removal of purchasing power, powers and freedoms from the citizen, to give them to the politicians that will use them to feed the parasite: the moneypulators pulling their strings, regardless of whether they’re plain dumb or playing dumb. This paves the way to whatever “growth at all costs”, consumerism, and, in the final analysis, cancer stage of capitalism.
