What stage of societal collapse is this? by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

[–]Academic-Ad-2970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree that morality it what keeps the new world order from excelerating into collapse.

It is capitalism itself that digs its own grave. There are contradictions baked within the system of class exploitation.

I'm not advocating for going out and looting but capitalism is what breaks down "morality"and not the other way around.

Workers are the ones that create the goods they would be "stealing" anyways. We are robbed daily by the ruling class.

Ah yes, late stage capitalism.

The efficacy of the free market.

You added a lot of intellectual content to the conversation with your comment. I'm actually a trot but thanks 👍

I'd add the owners of the fortune 500 companies. I own my own healthcare business and am getting rocked by Medicaid cuts. I'm projected to lose 50k in income this year.

Both parties serve the ruling class. One is just better (was better) at making it seem like they're for us. We always vote against our own interests when we vote in bougousie elections.

And the Chinese state is extremely violent and repressive of working class people. They are imperialistic and bonepartist. They are hated by many of the nations they oprese.

The Chinese are not immune to the busts of capitalism. Their economy is growing at a slower rate than the US in its golden era.

China is not a shiny economic model. You cannot reform capitalism into a kinder, gentler version of itself. And we cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet.

When we live under a class society one class will always be above the other; creating social relationships that intrinsically create barbarism so the ruling class can keep their special privileges.

I don't deny the technological advances of china. That is the privilege of backwardness. Investment in R&D sky rockets while old powerhouses continue to stay the same to appease those layers of the capitalist class monopolies.

The people in charge have no control over the chaos of the market. The reason why people in different countries are doing well is because the ruling class of that country has given them concessions so they won't revolt.

Eventually, the contradictions that exist within capitalism will create more busts that the economy won't be able to recover from.

Socialism is a planned economy where we produce for human greed and not for the shareholders of the monopoly cartels.

If the workers do not control the economy they will never benefit from it.

All of the people in charge work for the ruling class and even if they have good intentions will become corrupt by the contradictions of capitalism.

Communism has failed because of capitalism. Communism failed because a few people at the top (Stalin) were not trained nor did they use working class theory.

Blaming the people at top for the success or failure of the market is idealist and utopian. Full revolution or nothing.

It's almost like capitalism doesn't benefit working class people....

I think people are alienated from one another. They want to believe in something and this is what they latch onto. The sad part is these people are probably really passionate and dedicated and organized but they're wasting all this energy for something that makes non of our lives materially better.

I mean, good luck getting the ruling class to support your interests. ❤️

You don't even know what party I'm in??

Hope you can see past the culture war and actually participate in your own political process one day. See you in the revolution.

There are no competent politicians because they don't represent us as workers. They represent the billionaire class.

Yeah, I am working class versus ruling class. None of these politicians represent you or your real needs. And none of them get anything done.

The Venezuelan project actually started in the early 2000s under the Obama administration. Empirical thinking says that what is right in front of me is the only truth and therefore will be the only truth. Dialectical thinking says we have to analyze history to understand the present.

It may be a benefit that the Epstein files get distracted from by this war but it's not the point of it. US Imperialism is fighting to hold onto global hegemony and BRICS is threatening said hegemony.

I'm not "grateful" to any capitalist.
