Socialist or Capitalist: no fury 

The socialist and the capitalist are almost the same.
Imagine, if the socialist goes to capitalist countries
to request for loans and grants in order to build
infrastructure in their socialist states forgetting that
cost of infrastructure is a capital investment and
cannot yield immediate returns resulting in huge
debt piled up for future generations.
Nevertheless imagine a capitalist who is so concerned
about making profit and crave for the legalisation
of "weed" because it is the business fueling his fortune.

But these two perspectives whether polished or prefixed
with "neo" or "modified" all converge.
The center of it all is humanity. Its like looking inside
a bottle with your two eyes. It is impossible!
only one can see at a point in time.

I remember a comment passed by a passenger whom I
sat with in a bus "troski". He was far older than I was
so I was quite taken aback by his comment. A very
nice luxurious range rover over took us in a rush. The
passenger was so furious to the extent that he insulted
the person driving the range rover. and I quote "they
have money but they are greedy and keep it to himself
and waste it on unnecessary things like cars forgetting
that he will die and leave it behind. Instead of opening
up factories to employ the youth- annoying".

Other passengers in the car applauded this man
indirectly in their minds by nodding their heads in
agreement.

I sat with mixed feelings of sadness and surprise. I
asked myself  isn't this car in which we are sitting
manufactured abroad by a company? are we not paying
escalated lorry fair to the driver of this bus? aren't
we also making this driver rich? wouldn't this driver
buy a luxurious car when he gets richer, or perhaps even
stop driving this bus altogether?

Wasn't the range rover also manufactured by a
company?" wasn't the car manufactured by different
groups of department working for the range rover
company? aren't the workers being paid? what about
those who manufactured the metals for the body, rubber
for the types and interior, leather for the seat etc?
didn't these processes create employment for some
people around the world? probably the metal was
imported even from another country giving employment
to some people in that country. Moreover, the leather
could be from a small village in a country in Africa!

Among the many things we fail to realise in Africa
include we think we are thinking properly only
because we think improperly.

Maybe we don't need to be capitalist or socialist,
we need to be something new altogether maybe
a "capsoc". Whether socialist all capitalist, if the
people do not feel comfortable, both is worse.
