Eine M\u00f6glichkeit, dies zu tun, w\u00e4re, diese Kapitalisten an die Front einzuberufen. Eine andere M\u00f6glichkeit w\u00e4re, nur Menschen, die tats\u00e4chlich im Krieg k\u00e4mpfen, entscheiden zu lassen, ob er gef\u00fchrt werden soll. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Um zu verhindern, dass sich die USA in koloniale Interessen einmischen bzw. im Interesse von Konzernen aus anderen L\u00e4ndern Profite herausholen, sollte das US-Milit\u00e4r in seiner Reichweite begrenzt werden. Bestimmte Inseln sollten aufgegeben werden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Die USA geben sehr viel mehr Steuergelder aus, um die Interessen der Superreichen zu sch\u00fctzen, was wirtschaftlich nicht einmal gerechtfertigt ist (USD f\u00fcr USD). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dar\u00fcber hinaus werden durch dieses System Leben von US-B\u00fcrgern gef\u00e4hrdet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ein besonderes Beispiel daf\u00fcr, wie die amerikanische Bev\u00f6lkerung ausgebeutet wurde:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die USA zwangen die Soldaten, einen Teil ihres Soldes f\u00fcr den Kauf von Kriegsanleihen zu verwenden. Mit den Einnahmen aus den Kriegsanleihen wurden Ausr\u00fcstungsgegenst\u00e4nde f\u00fcr den Krieg gekauft - Butler vertritt die Ansicht, dass ein gro\u00dfer Teil davon verschwendetes Geld war, z. B. f\u00fcr Pferdes\u00e4ttel oder Moskitonetze, die nicht ben\u00f6tigt wurden. Da die Unternehmen au\u00dferdem eine feste Gewinnspanne von 10 % \u00fcber den Produktionskosten erhielten und die Nachfrage enorm hoch war, trieben sie die Preise (und damit die absoluten Gewinne) k\u00fcnstlich in die H\u00f6he. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In der Zwischenzeit wurden die Anleihen vom Staat garantiert, wobei ein bestimmter Prozentsatz an Zinsen ausgezahlt wurde. Allerdings mussten sie bis zur F\u00e4lligkeit gehalten werden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Als die Kriegsveteranen zur\u00fcckkehrten und ihre Kriegsanleihen nicht sofort einl\u00f6sen konnten, brauchten sie dennoch Geld, um ihre Familien zu ern\u00e4hren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dies veranlasste sie, mit Verlust an die Banken zu verkaufen. Wenn eine gro\u00dfe Menge \u00e4hnlicher Gegenst\u00e4nde angeboten wird und die Verk\u00e4ufer bereit sind, mit Verlust zu verkaufen, verlieren diese Gegenst\u00e4nde nat\u00fcrlich an Wert.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da es sich um staatlich garantierte Kriegsanleihen handelte, konnten die Banken sie einfach halten und mit erheblichem Gewinn verkaufen, sobald sich der Markt wieder stabilisierte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Soldaten litten also doppelt: unter dem Krieg selbst und auch unter dem weiteren Verlust ihrer Investitionen, die ihnen von der Propagandamaschine der Regierung aufgeschwatzt worden waren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dies ist \u00fcbrigens eine klassische Reaktion von \u201cMr. Market\u201d - manchmal kann man $100 f\u00fcr $75 bekommen (in diesem Fall aus der Sicht der Bank), wenn jemand anderes bereit ist zu verkaufen - oder einen Anreiz zum Verkauf hat, zum Beispiel finanziellen Druck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wahrscheinlich ist es f\u00fcr uns wichtig, nie in eine Situation zu kommen, in der wir gezwungen sind, mit Verlust zu verkaufen, und immer eine Reserve zu halten, um Trockenperioden zu \u00fcberbr\u00fccken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weitere interessante Lekt\u00fcre<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/the-business-plot\">https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/the-business-plot<\/a> - Ein Plan der Wall Street, einen faschistischen Putsch in Amerika zu starten - den Butler zu verhindern half<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Is_a_Racket\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Is_a_Racket <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smedley Butler was a very interesting person &#8211; he was a highly decorated Marine, having earned sixteen medals at the end of his career.
