The hard times are coming, so we’ll have to be hardened.

omarfw@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s post-capitalism. Capitalism was only ever capable of bringing about merit based class mobility temporarily before the sociopaths all trickled to the top over the decades and then and shut that shit down. Neo-feudalism is the inevitable result, and that will eventually be dismantled by another working class revolution.
All economies have lifespans.

TBH I’d just say were seeing capitalism approach its final inevitable form.

That’s essentially what I’m saying. It will always end up this way. Whether we call it late stage or post capitalism or just capitalism is irrelevant. It’s a system that empowers sociopathy and sociopaths will always choose to enrich themselves at the expense of the country and it’s citizens.

Yeah, wasn’t disagreeing with you. Capitalism is a fundamentally unsustainable system, it’s always going to eventually metastasise into a situation where a very few control almost all of the resources and the vast majority are desperate and impoverished. There might be meritocratic aspects to it in its early stages, but later on skills, talents and hard work won’t get you shit unless you’re rich.
