Normal social relationships are few or their form is logical, but the
essence is warped. The world is in a hard-pressed situation,
squeezed in a frame in which someone imposes ridiculous rules.
Whole states and regions are manifestly discredited.
Is it logical to have to pay property tax, instalments for the car,
tuition for children, property insurance, gas for the car that
pollutes the environment and many other expenses that are hard
to pay? Life is just bare subsistence or survival. And it all looks
logical and normal to us.
We all think life is like that and cannot be changed.
People create surplus values. Hyperproduction that has been
going on since the first industrial revolution proves this point. It is
illogical for people to have to make strenuous efforts to survive
amidst hyperproduction. The justification for this condition is that
we live in a capitalist free market economy where only the best
win. If this is true, according to this logic, in the near future only a
handful of companies would cover the needs of all the people in
the world. Expressed in numbers, it would mean that a billion
people would work for the needs of the entire population.
It raises the question what the other six billion people would be
doing and how would they live. There is a theory that the planet
Earth is overpopulated. Mathematics easily refutes this theory.
