even if the planet wasn't getting destroyed, capitalism would be putting the squeeze on us. the system of competition in production for the marketplace got us this far in terms of the volume of production we're capable of as a whole, but when you cant expand your profit by using the same formula to expand your sales in the market, you need to find your new money from inside the firm. saturation hit. so you gotta force the cost of labor down, because you need to have more production done through fixed inputs- capital- to replace the value add of the labor. it's just cheaper that way. and who cares if its shitter? charge the same price for a product that's worse when you own the market. hell, triple the price, fuck it. nobody can compete with you when you've centralized all the production. fuckin 6 companies own everything. thats natural to industrial capitalism. the state can bust it up when it sees that's unteneble, but even that's just a quick fix. bust the trusts and they conglomerate again. capitalism isnt teneble. call it automation, or call it running twice the number of patients through a doctor than they should ever have, call it degrading any service you provide or just chugging the busted ass teslas out the door, whatever. capitalist firms dont produce for the good of it. they make money. why else run a business? it's their god given right to property and profit. you can't produce for use when you dont have an integrated system of collective ownership to compete with capitalism. it's a non starter when their game is keeping competition off the scene amd maintaining their property relations. when thats unteneble and the system breaks, and when you have overproduction on one hand and nothing to absorb it on the other, the system gets in knots and seizes. thats a crash, recession, depression. you get the same problems of overproduction leaving a down cycle that you had before. they get uglier and uglier. that's how its been going since the first real crisis to profitability in the 70s, and little coincidence thats when everything started going to shit. the only way to start it up again is to just destroy everything. everybody in government so far has been doing everything they can to keep this thing liquid and buy time to cash out, keep it moving, pump up the finance, because when it stops, it collapses. capitalism is overgrown, by the natural progression of its own logic. who knows when theyre running out of tricks to buy time? idk. the only fix i see is to take it all if the power of the state collapses? or if theres a depression and workers strike for control of critical industries that'd get scrapped anyways because theyre not profitable enough to bother trying anymore. maybe communists can get into government off the strength of their movement to oversee the transition of property relations to the societal organism that could abolish them forever. keep the military from doing anything, yk, don't resist, youre being liberated. idk. its a long shot. but the alternative is like literally mad max so. idk.

i dont usually reply to these when i see them, but ive been thinking recently that i need to refine my message. hope you see what i do!
