The economy as a perpetuum mobile

Well, that’s how Jernej Vrtovec (NSi and the two affiliated parties) and Resnica, and partly also the Logarje Demokrati (in short, the famous trio), which the Left party is in the nose for, represent a successful and flourishing Slovenia. Therefore, of course, they have a program diametrically opposed to that of Golob’s government. He is opposed because this trio is convinced that we must do everything to make the economy (from big companies to small espes) flourish, because only in this way will we earn anything, so that we can have great education, health care, justice… in short, everything that is kept from the public budget. This is filled by the economy. So just like in my perpetuum mobil daydreams, the energy storage powered the car (which made the electricity we stored in the storage). Or rather, according to them, the economy would drive everything in Slovenia. Where will the economy get its energy from – yes, but that is beyond their intellectual consideration. The good conditions that we will provide to the economy through political changes will probably be enough. But somehow we will get the workers or the labor paradise, this resource is inexhaustible, these little people are very patient, they will work in any case (and thus enable the rich to make even more profit). Because the basic motive of every human being is to do something in order to be able to say to himself at any moment that his existence has some meaning (according to Frankl).

Unfortunately, the reality is different. The basic source of energy for the economy is provided by workers. Without them there is nothing (there is no economy if there are no workers). And for them (for this fundamental source of everything), this outgoing government (mainly under the influence of the Left) took care of them (say, the minimum wage, Christmas bonus…). First of all, they devoted as much of their energy as possible to this foundation of everything, which can then be expressed in a social product. Only later would we devote ourselves to the economy (something that is without a foundation, consisting of workers, is an illusion, they are castles in the clouds).

It seems that this is precisely the core of the dispute, that the parties of the right are completely at odds with what the left half of the political spectrum started and set for themselves. That is why it is also clear that their bill (reduction of VAT, cap, relief for espes…) will only seemingly take care of small citizens (the proposal is therefore distinctly populist), but in reality it will only take care of the rich (or those who will be able to make even more profit in this way – so it is also clear why the economy says that they are going in the right direction). In short, they are convinced that it is the economy that drives Slovenia forward or that it is actually as I thought, that the electricity from the rotation of the wheels must propel the car forward in my perpetuum mobil. So something that is in the clouds, that has no foundation, will drive Slovenia forward. This is the capitalist mentality in short.
