The richest 10% control 94% of total #capital ownership assets in the United States.

They determine how to use our #labor & #resources, what we produce & how our #surplus is deployed.

They determine the direction of our #civilization. It is the antithesis of #democracy.

Yet these #progressive demands inherently threaten #capital itself because they raise #production costs, empower #workers & weaken the endless drive for #accumulation that #capitalism depends on.

It manages the contradiction not by overcoming it but by exporting its #costs. Through #imperialism, social #democratic states extract cheap #labor & natural #resources from the #globalSouth, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high #wages, & #welfare systems at home while keeping #capital #accumulation intact.

"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop: #Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → #thestate feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — #privatizedsovereignty."

If you missed CPC-CG member Bernice Kuang at the #Economy, #Culture and #Skills Committee's investigation into current and projected trends relating to #birthrates and the number of #children in #London, and the causes for lower numbers of children in the #capital, you can now watch the meeting (Bernice speaks from 40:16) ⬇️⬇️

CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang, a research fellow in #demography at the University of #Southampton, claimed #Londoners still wanted to have an average of two #children, but that this was not feasible for many in the #capital.

She blamed a shift from #socialhousing to private #renting in inner #London, adding that "private rented accommodation is not seen as the place to start a #family".

And for #capital, the purpose of #production is not to meet #human needs, or to achieve #social progress, but to maximize & accumulate #profit. That is the overriding objective.

Remember, #capitalism is not defined by “ #markets & #businesses & #trade”. It is a system where #production is controlled overwhelmingly by #capital: the big #banks, large #corporations, & the 1% who own the majority of investable assets.
