@brumycl: Dr Michael Parenti lectures Voodoo Economics explaining what pure capitalism looked like in the guilded age and Edwardian and pre war era #fyp #michaelparenti #yellowparenti #History
so if it weren't for the rise of the USSR, workers in the west would have still been so miserable?

The people advocating for unfettered capitalism aren’t smart enough to read those pesky history books 😂

That’s also where Trump gets his “tariff everything” idea from. He even said that was the time he thinks America was great. Unrestrained capitalism.

And don't forget that this pure unrestrained capitalism led to 2 world wars and the biggest depression EVER

I’ve had someone unironically say America was at its greatest between the end of the civil war and the start of ww2 so yeah this tracks.

Parenti’s point hits perfectly on what annoys me when people say “the system is broken” when talking about the rampant inequality & other issues plaguing the US right now. Like the system is working perfectly for the people it’s intended to serve but we aren’t those people & we never will be!

The issue is Socialism versus Capitalism. I am for Socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed by the reign of gold long enough. Debs in 1897 hit nail on the head

A pure free market is going to lead to feudalism or widespread slavery. It everything is for sale, if there us no government or public power, then people will acquire power, even absolute power, even the power to end markets and freedom.

Capitalism emerged from feudalism. Capitalism created fascism when in crisis at the end of (econ) liberalism and old school imperialism, fascism was too destabilizing and (reluctantly) defeated, capital transitioned to neoliberalism and neo imperialism. neo liberalism continues to expand and is now (really for the past 50 years) increasingly destabilizing enough in the imperial core for historically less exploited workers in the core to notice.

Perfect capitalism is slavery. Labor costs minimized, profits maximized.

MAGA thinks the country was “great” in the 1960-70’s. MAGAs leadership defines it as great during the 1890’s.

The issue is that under capitalism the betterment of everyday peoples lives is an unintended consequence. When it does happen is a happy coincidence typically at the expense of a nation across the ocean but it is by no means by design of the system.
