  • Which is exactly why conservatives want to push that line of ideology, because in a democratic society we all have equal say, but under capitalism the landowning aristocrat class become de facto lords and kings. Which is exactly what we are seeing happening right now.

    It’s the same bullshit they say about wanting “small government”- no, they want no government, not a democratic one at least, because that is the only thing keeping them from wielding their capital as a political tool, something it is already feebly equipped to do because of the power inherent in capital and unregulated ownership. Low taxes- same thing; high taxes are an equalizer that aims to create benefit for all of society together, low taxes, as conservatives always want, mean proportionally more for those who are already most well off.

    On a long enough timeline, capitalism will always and causally turn into a form of feudalism. Shit, it IS feudalism, with extra steps.



  • Yet another lie of capitalism- that demand dictates supply. If people want something, capitalism will solve the problem because greed will solve every problem, right? WRONG. It doesn’t take into consideration that scale and logistics and infrastructure and mass production all collude and interact in ways that can and will easily create isolated and unexpected functional consequences just like this one.

    Capitalism itself is such a dumb and evil creation that the only thing that keeps it running is to have laws that limit its destructive power- unfortunately, since money is power, capitalism quickly supersedes rule of law and democracy, creating a system of government where feudal lords rule over what basically amounts to serfdom. Surely a more comfortable serfdom than in the 1300’s, but most certainly lacking the basic freedoms of a democratic society, and only so long as the lords so wish and comfort isn’t taken away at their whims due to opposition or otherwise.

    Fuck this shit.
