Capitalism really is a spectacular system of control. When implemented correctly you have three classes of people, the rich, the middle class, and the poor. As time goes on the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears, generally most become poor while a few manage to "get rich". What keeps the system running is the allure of the rich lifestyle. The mouths of the poor water for the rich life, and they believe that some day they just might strike gold. The reality is that very few actually do. The rich find more ways to line their pockets. They eventually find their way to politicians, who are nothing more than whores, and begin to influence government policy in their favor putting the poor and working class at a further disadvantage. The rich begin cornering the market or using things like healthcare to further in debt the people. Yet the promise of a rich life keeps people in line. The invention of the credit system does even further damage to the phsyche. This enables lower middle class and poor people to use money they do not have to live outside their means in order to have this rich lifestyle, it always ends badly.The working class people make the bulk of the money with their labor but never actually see this money. Let me use an example from my personal work history. I worked as a lab technician. My main job was to collect blood through venipuncture and then send it downstairs to our lab for various tests to be run. Anytime I stuck a patient with a needle the patient was charged $75, just for the poke. The most common tests were CBC's, liver batterys, a complete metabolic profile, and drug levels. just for the first three, which most doctors order for their patients cost around $300-400 dollars combined. Let us say one particular patient has to get their blood drawn to show the level of Lithium in their blood, that alone costs around $500. Now why is it that I saw very little of that money? I saw anywhere from 50 to 100 patients a day and yet the hospital I worked for was constantly laying off, eliminating whole positions, and consistently complaining that there was not enough money. But if I saw 50 people in one day, the venipuncture charge alone amounted to $3,750 combined. That is not even including the tests which were ran on each individual person. This is a shining example of the rich profiting off the labor of the working class. When the poor realize there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and no light at the end of the tunnel, capitalism will be overthrown. Before its demise I think we will see the ameircan government regress to fascism in an attempt to save itself, and that will be bloody. It is only when we wake up that things will change, casting a ballot means little, casting a stone means revolution.

In the early stages of the industrial revolution the government and the capitalists were faced with a problem. Most people lived on farmsteads. As this revolution picked up steam they needed a way to get people of the farms and into factories. There already exists the commoditization of land, which arguabley led to western industrialization in the first place. But at that point we had much more land than people. We did some things to solve this issue like the homestead act to hasten the control of western frontier parcels but it was nowhere near enough.
That is when the liberals started looking to Prussian education systems as a deliberate form of institutionalization. It was through the techniques of Prussian educational indoctrination that was utilized to convince the youth to leave the farm and go work into the factories. The preppared the children for totalitarian life of the new worker through suggestion to subordination to heirarchy and authority within the school structure. The children after years of this brainwashing would then be much more passified to the strict rule of management within the factories. This also layed the ground work in Russia for the Bolshevicks totalitarian model of state management.
