Capitalism - POV Shahrul Azmi
It is amazing that a year ago the world economy collapsed just because a company by the name of Pak Leman Brothers was on the verge of bankruptcy. Why it is, Lehman was so important? Why was this company a starter to massive negative domino that affected the entire world?
One after another country came up with what they called the stimulus package, not excluding our country Malaysia. The world panic, one after another analyst came up with intelligent prediction such that the recovery might only be possible in 2015.
Yesterday I watched Al Jazeera economic review and they concluded that we are out of the misery but far from regaining the same peak just before the collapsed… the black day
How do they measure all this? What GDP and all other jargons? Why are we panicking when they are the one having problem? At 2:15 in the morning I took out my pen and a piece of paper. POV Shahrul Azmi – what the f*ck is all this?
God created the universe with its basic necessity; if we share, the world will have enough and the mankind will survive. That is ‘ideal’.
Some people get a little bit greedy and they think they deserve more mainly due to their hard work and brain that are better than the others (which they tend to forget that God created that too).
The ‘genius’ created ways to earn more, simply by improvisation of common practices and procedures. So they earn more by selling their inventions. What happen to the people with less brain, surely they will need to work harder in order to earn the latest inventions and keep up with improvement.
The chain will then continue, the one on top of the pyramid will make more money and the one at the bottom will suffer. This concept is viable in the beginning but what are the effect when population grows and the resources runs dry?
Take starbucks for instance, it was a business invented by the capitalist with deceiving objectives. The idea was to have coffee shops where one can relax with friends, having the best brewed coffee, and definitely look cool doing it. What was wrong with the existing coffee shop? Why does it need to be so expensive?
It is a matter of choice to be or not to be associated to the chain but the capitalist is no stupid. Since capital is not restriction to them, they will allocate substantial amount convincing the general public on the necessity to be part of the cool coffee drinking society. Before you notice, you’ll sip your first mocha.
Well, what do you think happen when we don’t have the money to drink at starbucks? Will the capitalist let us go and close the outlets? Of cost they wouldn’t do that, they will try to make you come no matter what. They will make you work for more money or they could be lending their money to you with massive interest with one thing in mind… you buy their products.
How do they loan you money? They are not bank? Remember, they are the one with capital and you’re the one without.
This is what they do, and it is scary. First they will tell you the bad news, the economy is collapsing and something need to be done or else the giants will fall. General public should continue to spend or else dooms day.
What would we normally do? Yes, PANIC. Daddy will tell their bosses about it, the bosses will tell the government that they are in trouble and at the end of it the whole country will be panicking and the government will hit the red button.
Remember what I told you about god creations and the resources? This is where it links. We will dig more oil, take out the savings, and withdraw the EPF continue with all other action ignoring the future plan. Next, the prime minister call up press, follow up with a statement, “This is the 50 Billion stimulus package, spend it wisely”. At a corner you can see the capitalist smiling… they are coming back.

It must be something important that you couldn't get to sleep at 2:15am and wrote this instead. Actually, I don't mind paying starbucks at a premium price because they are not serving local delicacy. How often are you getting that anyway? What my concern is the new emerging cut throat capitalist running a local franchise like old town white coffee that overcharging a plain and overrated ‘nasi lemak special’ or ‘nasi rendang whatever’ at RM8-RM9. You can get a better ‘nasi lemak special’ from ‘makcik’ nearby between RM3 and RM5 max without the govt. tax. This is outrageous and the fact that we can see old town white coffee mushrooming all over the place (I have 2 near my house). People are still flocking to this place partly because they think it's pretty decent added with the kopitiam-craze still going on but deep down we have been slit from day one.
I agree. But if we think the other way round, It is good this thing happens. So we can stop the rising of the resources price. But as you said, the capitalist smiling coz people will still buying their products. The rich people smile and the poor people suffer.
Too bad bro...there is no ideal world. Never in the past and will never in the future. Even during Rasulullah PBUH time, it was not an ideal world to live in. Or else, there would be no war, no inflation, no trouble, but peace, harmony, and whatever positive elements there may be. God creates everything for a reason. It's up to us to think and react.
Almost all the systems in this world (be it capitalism, communism, conventional banking, taxes, entertainment, etc, you name it) were created by humans and they are bound to have limitations and weaknesses. Only Islam is created by God. And it is by far, perfect. Only those who implement it may make it look imperfect.
Nevertheless, I agree with your POV.

hai chairman...
really interesting article...ilove to read it...and the most important thing is i agree with what you were saying.
Kepada saudara shahrul,
pada mula membaca artikel ini saya menyangkakan yg saudara di besarkan dalam keaadan yg pd pandangan mata kita tidak adil. mungkin latar belakang saudara merasakan kesusahan akan ketidakadilan ini, tumpuan topik pada kekayaan dan kemiskinan.
i believe you have read and inspired by the idealism of fair and just distribution of wealth in society written by many writer and philosopher, west and east. some called this is the tendency to sosialist thinking, some called it communion driven, some even go to communism. heh what the heck whatever we called it, the root word here is ideology. NOT way of life, not the reason of life, not the nature of life but IDEOLOGY.
keyword here is
!
1)distribution of wealth (rich n poor)An ideology is a set of ideas that constitutes one's goals, expectations, and actions. An ideology can be thought of as a comprehensive vision, as a way of looking at things
2)system of managing this wealth (capatalist n socialist)or a set of ideas proposed by the dominant class of a society to all members of this society (a "received consciousness" or product of socialization)
3)the aftermath of applying either system (your starbuck n nasi lemak makcik) The main purpose behind an ideology is to offer change in society (kalau dulu melayu pakai kain pelekat seluruh masa NI dah seluat ketat), and adherence to a set of ideals where conformity already exists (semua org kaya ke miskin ke minum kopi sebab dah ketagih), through a normative thought process(kopi dan teh jgn lupa gula dah jadi minuman pagi hampir seluruh manusia dunia). Ideologies are systems of abstract thought applied to public matters and thus make this concept central to politics (maka terpulang pada majoriti pulic opinion bukan malaysia je seluruh dunia,oleh itu sistem ini perlu conform dgn kehendak majoriti, kalau gay itu naluri maka politiknya boleh, kalau rakyat gila perang maka politiknya penjajahan, kalau wang kehendak majoriti maka ...cuba teka wang jugaklah . It is how society sees things. wikipidea.
dari segi niatnya say setuju dgn penulisan saudara.
tetapi.
!
1) saya sedih krn saudara masih menggunakan ideology apapun jenis dalam panduan dalam alternatif yg diberikan. Maka nak tak nak saudara termasuk dalam golongan yg saudara benci.diprogramkan oleh pencipta ketidakadilan yg saudara agungkan
2) saya kecewa kerana tidak ada penyelesain baru dalam kaedah polisi yg baru dan fresh dari saudara. bukan ideology.
3) saya bingung tidakkah saudara membaca sejarah? manusia dan ideology tidak pernah kekal lama. sistem raja tuhan dan tuhan raja dah pupus, sistem materinal pun pupus, patrineal pun pupus, sistem dewa dan dewi pun pupus sistem tzarus council of senate, the pope and vatican pun pupus,khalifah islam pun pupus, vampires and draculas pun pupus,skrg kommunis dah mampus (CHINA pun dah mcm kapitalis, tak cayaa kiraa? kira brpa byk basikal yg tinggal)kapitalis pun dah pupus tahun 1928 tapi truman terpaksa setuju dgn pembentukan israel pasal tu ada bail out utk capitalis, sama gak ngan russia tapi russia dah habis kena rogol, byk diktaktor dlm ciptaan sosialis. jugak kapitalis
4) apa bezanya? politburo dan senat ATAU MAJLIS SYURA, apa beza dgn national election dan people council election, centralize dan decentralize administration, nationalistic dan and individualistic, freedom fighter and terrorist.dictactor and president. THERE IS NO DIFFERENT XCEPT THAT THEY ARE EXTREMST WITH THIS THING CALLED IDEOLOGY.
KISAH ORANG MISKIN DAN ORANG KAYA.
Pda zaman nabi isa tinggal seorg yahudi . namanya zaccheus ben joshua. orgnya pendek tanganya besar dan panjang, mukanya hodoh dari yahudi biasa, hidupnya kais pagi makan kutip kayu api dan jual di pasar jericho. akibat ketiksempurnaan tubuhnya dia terpaksa bekerja tiga kali lebih, sebab hidupnya daif dan miskin. untuk dapat wang upah.BERSAMBUNG.... DAH NGANTUK
saudara,
baiklah, setelah saudara sendiri bertemu dan bertanya, ingin saya saya perjelaskan di sini bahawa yang saya ragukan dan menentang adalah ideologi2 yang saudara tebitkan. untuk pengetahuan saudara pernakah saudara bertanya siapa dia karakter pe nulis The Communist Manifesto,das kapitalist dan wealth of nation dan the prince. saudara cedok habis habisan dogma dan doktrin orang yg tidak mempunyai authotrity ini tidak seperti kung fu tze dan sun tzu dan muhammad.
ini bermakna idea dan pendapat saudar adalah bedasarkan pandangan mata kedua dan ketiga pencipta sistem yang tidak adil yg saudara benci dan agungkan. adakah saudara memerlukan panduan dari Adam smith seorang professor yg "was described by contemporaries as an atheist,menghamba adbikan manusia spt "During his time in Glasgow, Smith met regularly with the "Tobacco Lords," who were considered some of the richest men in Europe. From them, he learned about the tobacco trade, which was a major source of wealth for Scotland during this time, and especially for Glasgow. Even though he knew that the slave-based tobacco trade was a significant aspect of wealth creation for Scotland, he did not present this in his book on wealth creation. Instead of writing about the role of slavery in early capitalism, he wrote about the "invisible hand."
bagaimana pula dgn karl marx, bapa segala sosialis? komunis yg saudara ketengahkan.Siapa dia? adakah perlu kita percaya pada seorang was born Jewish and converted to Lutheranism prior to Karl's birth, in part to advance his career as a lawyer; Karl's grandfather was the rabbi of Trier. Dan akibat doktrin sosialis nya kepada lenin telah menybabkan keaadaan di rusia"many poor peasants within the rural communes across Russia were actually "landless". As the years went by many more of the small peasants within the rural communes were becoming landless as the process of "differentiation of the peasantry" allowed the rich peasants to become richer and the poor peasants became poorer.
S
ome of the landless peasants were required to seek employment from the richer "kulak" peasants within the rural commune. These landless peasants would be considered a part of the rural proletariat. Other landless peasants would leave the commune altogether and join the urban proletariat. Whichever way the landless peasant went, Lenin points out that this development is totally familiar to us as nothing more or less than the familiar process of the ruin and "proletariatization" of the small peasantry, by the complete separation of that small "landless" peasantry from the means of production.tidakkah ini bunyi kapitalis?atau dia sendiri terpaksa cedo dari volitaire? adkah karl sendiri confuse? atau mencari pengaruh dan kuasa yang memang di hajati sejak menjadi lawyer di london? ingat!!!! dia menukar agama datuknya semata mata ingin jadi lawyer[46]wikipidia.
dan
tAK perlu saya terangkan mengenai hitler kerana sistem arphetiedya ternyata tidak boleh di lakukan dgn jaya. mereka tewas dlm perang dunia ke dua.
persoalanya? adakah kita masih lagi terkurung dlm ideology seorang atheist, seorang lawyer yahudi yng murtad ke protestant yag tidak pernah memerintah dan diperintah (akibat hidupya yg berpindah randah) dan yang ideology yang telah membunuh lebih ramai manusia dari perang dunia ke dua. Russian revolution, french revolution,chinnese red party, khmer of cambodia, didi amin of kenya, and the list go on. does the end justify the means? should we take this piece of crap 100 % when karl marx was born
lucky to be born rich and married to a barons daughter.
and best of all is that he thinks man naturally imagine things without any divine blessing just man itself create a living world"Fundamentally, Marx assumed that human nature involves transforming material nature. To this process of transformation he applies the term "labour", and to the capacity to transform nature the term "labour power". Marx stated:
“ A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality. ”
gating, being focus is understanding, being
O THE TERRIBLE.
the question WHERE DOES THIS IMAGINATION COME FROM? definately not fron the brain.. cause brain work with senses without it the brain cant give an image. so what is it saudara sharul? let me help you on this. its environment and knowledge.of our nature and existence. the rest you need a teacher.he argues on human nature but does human naturally is all the same?. pepatah melayu sedangkan rambut lain hitamnya wlau darah sama merah.
does the spider scientifically imagine it or is it an inborn thing god given what we term as instinct.??if spider imagine then where is the blue print. that size of a spider brain has a blueprint? or just plain animal instinct.saudara Shahrul can u answer this dont we to have animal instinct?
on human it makes alot of sense but when you apply in nature it does not work that way.
question? why does man need to eat? is it becuse we planned and imagine the food with it smells and colour and taste in a blue print somewhwere in our IMAGINATION so we eat.? saudara shahrul answer this..! or is it bcoz you are hungry thats why we eat?
and hunger is part of instinct. and we dont design this...i think you know the answer just read at your ramadan blogg.
whats the problem w being poor is it bcoz ?they are bunch of unhappy people, is it bcoz they are bunch of disgruntled and force slavery peaseant, give your stats, your research, your scientific methods on coming out with this simplified conclusion of human happiness level and success level.
is money the benchmark?, or is it haouses? or wives and husband? or kids? or knowledge? or car and rides,? what about bussiness and shops? or the type of pussies you have taste or perform prayers and pious? or rolex or swatch (by the way rolex is owned by swatch group)
what was your BENCHMARK, METHOD OF CALCULATION, OR SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION SAYING THAT POOR PEOPLE IS UNHAPPY AND RICH PEOPLE ARE ALL JOLLY.? I REALLY NEED IT BECAUSE I THINK ALL THIS IS BULLS**T.
having your own opinion is a great thing, being critical is investigating, being focus is understanding, being judgmental is a dangerous thing.
BUT BY JUST READING AND ABSORBING IT WITHOUT CRITICAL THINKING AND EXPERIENCING IS JUST AND INTELLECTUAL AND THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM/HER INTELLIGENT.
are you being a judge here giving this statement EXAMPLE poeple who drive maserati are snob, ungrateful and never even help and contribute? control the masses way of life? does this really happen in the whole of malaya? do you need them to announce to the whole world this good deed they did?
atau orang miskin yg saudara sedihkan seorang yang hidupnya malang sentiasa, tiada sesuap nasi utk ditelan, tiada bumbung dari panas dan hujan, terpaksa kerja membanting tulang dan TIDAK BESYUKUR PADA nyawanya DARI PEMBERIAN TUHAN. MEREKA TAK BESYUKUR SEHINNGAKAN MEREKA LUPA AGAMA MEREKA, ADAT MEREKA DAN tidak lagi MEMBESARKAN ANAK YG SOLEH LAGI BERJAYA DARI SEGI DRJATNYA DARI INDUK YG MISKIN YG SAUDARA MAKSUDKAN..????
saudara shahrul sejak bila pulak nabi kita mengharamkan free enterprise.????baginda sendiri adalah salah seorang corporate figure free enterprise di kota damsyik. betulkan saya kalau salah..malah beliau menjadi seorang bussiness figure yg terkaya di kota damsyik(syria). siti khadijah meletakkan beliau sebagai makah leading CEO. NOT JUST THAT his teenage life with abu talib his uncle he was also a succesful and happy herdsman.the type of job that saudara shahrul put as a jinx for any kampung people.
SAUDARA KELUARLAH DARI tempurung GOLONGAN YANG TIDAK MEMPUNYAI AUTHORITY INI, KEREANA MEREKA TIDAK PERNAH SEKALIPUN MEMERINTAH SATU MASYARAKAT MELAINKAN SECRET SOCIETY. SAUDARA TAK INGAT SUMPAH YANG LAMA KEATAS MANUSIA,INILAH HASIL MEREKA, DOGMA DAN DOKTRIN YG HNYA SEMENTARA UNTUK PERLAKSANAAN SATU PROTOKOL AGUNG. SESENGGUHNYA KOMPLOT INI TELAH DI BERITHAU DALAM BUKU MANUAL MANUSIA DARI ALLAH.THE GREATEST TRICK THAT THE DEVIL HAS EVER PUT ON MANKIND IS THAT THEY DONT EXIST.
MAKA APAKAH SISTEM TERADIL TERCIPTA? PERSOALAN PERLU RUNGKAIN YANG PANJANG. PERBANYAKANLAH MEMBACA BUKU EKONOMI DAN FAHAM JARGO-JARGO YG DI TERBITKAN. SEBAB KALAU TAK FAHAM JGN CAKAP KITA ADA JAWAPANYA, MEMAHAMI KEAADAAN KITA SEKARANG ADALAH LEBIH PENTING DARI MENJADI SKRIP RAMAYANA DAN SITA WAYANG KULIT ORNG MELAYU. MACAM MANA HEBAT SEKALIPUN RAMA DLM EPIK ITU HEBAT LAGI TOK DALANG YG BECERITA DI BALIK TABIR.MINTAK MAAF JIKA TERSALAH BAHASA TERUSIK JIWA DAN TERLANJUR KATA. IKHLAS JGN LUPA CHOICE IS AN ILLUSION BETWEEN THOSE WITH POWER AND THOSE WITHOUT. (meroviadgn)
