12 Strategic main goal: Eliminate financial capitalism cial economics the difficult task to re-establish the essential Taboo. And they did! 12.2 The modern version of the Taboo They did it firstly by letting disappear labour value from this world. As everybody knows who ever took part in an industrial production pro- cess or in the work of service providers developing their immaterial products: the value of the ready-for-sale commodity is generated along a value-adding chain when step by step intermediate products become optimised by specialized workforce to the final shape, the increasing worked-in-value been calculated by internal cost account- ing. With Taboo keeping intentions labour value is equalled to and identified as market prices. Following this theory of value the labour of the wage workers becomes irrelevant because value is declared to be solely a matter of the market, of supply and demand according to the individual wishes and needs of consumers. Secondly by these theories the value producing people become a marginal aspect of society. In the centre of social concern you find the owner of funds, shareholders, proprietors, investors and all those who have command of liquid assets or bank deposits. Guess who fa- voured and honoured such teaching the most. This modern version of the Taboo serves perfectly its purpose: Never let the employees know what is really going on. Make them think they have to bend and to endure all crises, hardships and iniquities because of being de- pendent pawns and inferior ignoramuses. Make them believe not to be able to survive without the mighty financial-capitalist establish- ment and their worldwide authority. It is time to break the Taboo again thoroughly. Things are still as they have always been in civilized exploitative class societies. As a matter of fact, today the productive, skilled lower classes could do better than ever in history without parasitic upper classes. We can stop their march into the abyss. I am convinced they would not even hesi- tate to make financial bets on the abyss when already falling into it. When the peoples of the world finally will decide on future we will make the world a safer, more peaceful, and a much better place to live. 64
