After an #economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms & screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely #rich assholes who aren't listening.

The problem of course is we have a #political & #economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior & risk taking. You can burn down the world, then shrug & walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

"A progressive activist appears to be on the cusp of winning her bid for mayor of #Seattle in a narrow victory that has echoes of the race to lead New York City...

#KatieWilson, who like New York’s Zohran Mamdani is a self-described socialist, focused her campaign on affordability"

"Well that's great, socialists making gains in #NewYorkCity and #Seattle, I still can't be bothered to #vote becaus-"

"After trailing by more than 10,000 votes the day after the election, Wilson, 43, chipped away at Mayor Bruce Harrell’s margin as late-counted ballots broke her way. She took a tiny lead in Monday’s count, and with Tuesday’s additions, Wilson is now ahead by 1,346 votes."

In 1933 the #oligarchs tried to overthrow #FDR (Business Plot). This time around they started early, phony fiat currencies made it easier to create a fake #dystopian #economy & the manufactured " #WaronTerror" galvanized public support to accept a #fascist #police #surveillance state.

We are living in historical times where revolutions & civil wars occur. It happens everytime the concentration of #wealth & #power reaches an extreme level like the present Build & protect your #local #communities, & prepare to fight for a new & better world.

At this point in the long cycle, when the concentration of #wealth & #power has reached a historical extreme, those at the top always try to overthrow the system to cement their dominance & control for eternity.

Same place as 1920's/1930's, 1850's/1860's, late 1700's.

" #Socialdemocracy cannot serve as a true alternative to #capitalism. It appears attractive on the surface but is built upon deep contradictions that eventually collapse under their own weight.

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.

There are two ways to address this contradiction. One is to reject the logic of #accumulation altogether & move toward a #postcapitalist system organized democratically around #human needs & #ecological balance. #Socialdemocracy, however, remains loyal to #capitalism.

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.

With no outside to draw from, they turn to coercion. #Repression becomes the only means to preserve #accumulation, often with the direct or indirect support of the core powers.

The #violence that marks many capitalist states in the #South is therefore not cultural or accidental but structural. #Capitalism itself requires #violence to survive. The #imperial core can appear #peaceful only because the #brutality is displaced elsewhere.

This #imperial outlet is not available to nations on the periphery. When #workers & #environmental movements in the #South demand #justice, their ruling classes cannot offset those demands through external #exploitation.

Even those states often praised as moral examples, such as the #Scandinavian countries, rely on vast transfers of value from the #globalSouth through unequal exchange. Their #social stability is built on the hidden #exploitation of others.
