The collapse that's coming.

 

 

 

My comment -

Those that presently control the US capitalist system I think are aiming for this. Capitalism we've seen is a fundamentally unstable system, and by-design co-opted by the rich and powerful. It's chief goal is to rob the majority of their wealth, labor and resources and transfer that upward in the form of endless private profit.

But in order to mask this, capitalism needs the illusion of democracy in order to convince enough of the working class to go along with the fleecing.

Once collapsed, I think the rich and powerful would use it as an excuse to dispense with the mask altogether - and continue ruling the majority as a oligopoly through economic terrorism.

If this happens, it'll be game over for all of us. Fascism like capitalism will not be able to save society from the very problems it creates and perpetuates - #1 being climate change.

Our only real hope is a true powerful mass social movement of the working class majority to wrest power from the rich and powerful, and transition control of the planet's limited resources democratically and sustainably.
