Is it a communist? Capitalist? mixture of Socialist and Capitalist? I have not being to Eri for a long time so I can't authoritatively say hat it is a socialist country. However, based on info from family, world news and eri websites, my impression is it is a socialist country. Please correct me if I am wrong. <br />If you are claiming Eri is Capitalist or mixture of Capitalist and Socialist, please provide with name of Capitalist companies and details about their operation such as revenue, tax they pay, profit, debt, number of employees, average salary of employee, who are the customers, years in operation, who is the owner of the company, etc. Thank you very much in advance. <br />Lastly, I am not trying to lecture anyone.

In a capitalist system the gov is not supposed to take care of you. You are supposed to take of yourself. You need to work hard and use you GOD given talent to make something of yourself. PICK YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAP. Capitalist system will create a vibrant and robust private enterprise and commerce that will generate a JOB OPORTUNITY for anyone that is willing to work hard. It is based on supply and demand. There is always going to be a demand for food, shelter, clothing, medicine, transportation, education, entertainment, etc etc etc which will create job for supplier. FOR EXAMPLE CURRENTLY ERI NEEDS AN AIRLINES SERVICE, A DEMAND. THIS DEMAND CAN BE MET BY HARD WORKING ERI DIASPORA CAPITALIST ENTREPRENEURS. The important point here is that the need of ordinary eri folk will be met. They will be able to travel over the globe to fancy their needs which may be business, tourism, education, visiting family, etc etc. The other important point is that the capitalist investors will take all the profit from their investment and the money as they wish. If the business is profitable you will most likely expand by building airports in every ERI town/cityuse. ERI gov will get some money from business tax. The more robust the business the more tax money for ERI gov which can be used for WELFARE TO HELP THE DISABLE AND JOBLESS. Moreover, hundreds/thousands of good paying ERI jobs will be created.<br /><br />If you not able to fend for yourself due to disability or lack of job, the capitalist system will provide you with disability and welfare benefit enough for yours' and family survival. <br /><br />2. You said Capitalism means to make individual wealth regardless of what happens to all others."<br /><br />Capitalist system creates an opportunity for anyone to be wealthy. MOST OF AMERICAN BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES GREW UP AS VERY POOR INDIVIDUALS. CAPITALIST BUSINESSES CREATE JOBS FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE GLOBE. YOUR CURRENT JOB, THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIT AND EAT DAILY AND SEND YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL, IS COURSEY OF CAPITALIST. THE PLANE AND VEHICLE THAT GET YOU FROM POINT A TO B, THIS MEDIUM, INTERNET, THAT ALLOWS ME AND YOU TO COMMUNICATE IS COURSEY OF THE CAPITALIST. <br />The money has be an honest money earned thru hard work, by playing by the rule, that is based on JUST LAW and CONSTITUTION, innovation and invention and pursuit of higher education. True Capitalist system rewards those who work hard, are honest, play by the rule, aim very high, those who are optimist and punishes those who are lazy, dishonest, don't play by the rule (lawless), aim low, pessimist, hardheaded and those who don't want to learn.<br />Capitalism cares very much what happens to others. IF OTHERS ARE PENNILESS AND BROKE, THE CAPITALIST BUSINESS WILL GO UNDER DUE TO LACK OF COSTOMERS. IT IS IN THE BEST SELF INTEREST OF THE CAPITALIST, TO HAVE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WITH GOOD PAYING JOBS. IT IS A MATTER OF SURVICAL FOR THE CAPITALIST. <br />Scandinavian countries an SUPERB CAPITALISTS not socialist. Just because they have a robust social program such as welfare, childcare, etc, it does not mean they are socialist.unitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-91803893117797175552014-08-05T08:40:09.372-07:002014-08-05T08:40:09.372-07:00You got it.

All western countries are against socialist system. They believe capitalism is the fair and best way to govern people. Socialist countries and systems interfere with the WESTERN COUNTRIES INTEREST AND WAY OF LIFE. Therefore, as long as eri gov stays a socialist country, WESTERN COUNTRIES will see ERI gov as an enemy. PERIOD. <br />So, if eri gov wants TLC(Tender/loving/care) from western countries, it has to adapt a CAPITALIST SYSTEM. It is that simple. I believe responsible CAPITALISM is the best, fair system that will elevate million/billions people from poverty and ignorance much faster than SOCIALISM. <br />For capitalism to survive and thrive, you need an accountable gov whose sole purpose is to serve the needs and aspiration of WE the people. Also protect the right and freedom of the people. GOVERNMENT is the servant of the people. WE THE PEOPLE set the rules of capitalist system such as tax, patent rules for all inventions, constitution, etc etc. Government enforces the rules/laws set by WE THE PEOPLE.unitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-58981075801005926362014-08-03T14:46:03.183-07:002014-08-03T14:46:03.183-07:00Asmorom, Lokmats weyanay!!Asmorom, Lokmats weyanay!!Araya Sheyabnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-19596986133757560662014-08-03T14:39:01.586-07:002014-08-03T14:39:01.586-07:00HELL no !

This quote comes from Lord Palmerston British Prime minister from 1859-1865 who said, "It is narrow policy to suppose that this country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our Interests are eternal and perpetual and those interests it is our duty to follow."<br />By the same token, USA's foreign policy is always based on its self interest. It supports/promote those who supposedly advance its interest and are considered friendly nations and oppose/destroy those who supposedly interfere/get in the way of its interest. It does not necessarily mean the supposed friends are true friends as they may be a secret foe and/or double agents and vice versa. It is all about perception based on available information which may be true or biased and incorrect. <br />Therefore as you said, "VOA is founded to distribute information and news from American perspective in pursuit of US Interests." So, if Eri gov does not agree with the info, it will need to present a countering view to Eri folks especially in Eri since most in diaspora do not listen to them. I personally never tuned to VOA/BBC and other similar foreign media source as I don't have the need. I would rather get my information from INTERNET, newspaper and books. No ERI TV, ETHIO TV AND USA TV FOR ME. They are all to some extent PROPOGANDA MACHINES for the ERI and ETHIO GOV and in case of USA they only promote the agenda of interest groups with deep pockets<br />US Africa summit is first and foremost to future US interest. PERIOD. The power that be did not see inviting eri gov to the party as serving US interest. <br />You said the current administration stated, "Self-reliant Africa is what the current administration believes that Africa needs." The statement is true. But the administration is not going to help you be self-reliant. Africans alone have to figure out a way to SELF RELIANCE against the tide/resistance of former African Colonizers, Europeans, and their # 1 ally USA. The hard truth is USA needs Africa to advance it own interest. Especially since 2008 US economic has been in very bad shape. It needs Africa in order to elevate US economy. It needs more consumers of US products, such as computer, smart phone, airplanes, cars etc hence the need to help electrify Africa. Without adequate electricity you can't consume computers, smart phone, cars, etc.unitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-89686927520404003082014-08-03T09:54:25.279-07:002014-08-03T09:54:25.279-07:00just got back from Dekemhare,Afelba,Seghnaytee,Adi...just got back from Dekemhare,Afelba,Seghnaytee,Adi Keyhea all the way to the border,and all IOOK GOOD,and every one is involved building the nation,unlike you lazy free loader.
