The “arc” of capitalism, is about 600 years long, from 1500 to 2100. It is our particular (mis)fortune to be living through the beginning of the end, the disintegration of capitalism as a world system. It was mostly commercial capital in the sixteenth century, evolving into industrial capital in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then moving on to financial capital—money created by money itself, and by speculation in currency—in the twentieth and twenty-first. In dialectical fashion, it will be the very success of the system that eventually does it in.

In a symbolic rejection of US capitalism, Bolivia announced it will expel the Coca-Cola Company from the country at the end of the Mayan calendar. This will mark the end of capitalism and usher in a new era of equality, the Bolivian govt says.

We've all seen how the Zionist Conservatives (Moderaterna) have sold out virtually everything they could of municipal and county municipal operations. But the question is whether Filippa Reinfeldt has gone too far in her quest to practically give away the kitchen sink (by selling government busineses)!!

Obama’s solution for the Depression is supply-side economics, whose champions claim that if the government cuts taxes on the wealthy, then the wealthy will invest in new factories, and hire new workers, thereby producing tax revenue.
Nonsense!

In the face of the current disaster of the capitalist system, one can ldetermine that capitalism's ideology, its promises for societal well-being, were false from the start. One can no longer defend capitalism in good faith. Marx was right, over a century and a half ago: capitalism has hung itself in its excess, in its greed for more and more and more.
