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

@jeffjarvis

For twenty years now, the fundamental #DemocraticParty problem is #Biden and #Durbin and #Schumer et al living in a past that never existed and never ended, trying frantically to preserve that feeling of "comity with our #GOP colleagues across the aisle"

Except that the #Republicans have been pissing on the #Democrat's feet all the while the GOP has been smiling in the Democrats' faces

But the Democrats are too infatuated with their own illusions to smell the piss they're standing in

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.

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.

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.

#Socialdemocracy, then, is not a step beyond #capitalism but a softer version of it. The illusion works only for those who benefit from it. The #miners in #Congo & the garment #workers in #Bangladesh who feed Western #industries see through it clearly.

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.

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.

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.
