Comment on The bourgeoisie could technically unintentionally end capitalism...

  It still doesn’t seem plausible to me because the idea of momey is only sexy in so far as you can trade it for 9ther stuff. There’s not much value in money that can only be used to purchase land/raw materials. It’s just a contract at that point.

  If the bourgeois class is adamant about keeping commodification, they probably wouldn’t let things get to this stage in the first place. Governments would step in to regulate.

    On the contrary—with automation converting raw materials to finished goods essentially for free, raw materials would be worth more than ever.
