It is not hard to see that current neoliberal world order is not sustainable. Economy and financial system dissolution is boosted by the coronavirus hoax. The collapse is a matter of time, but the real question is: What is going to emerge after the collapse?
From its inception, Capitalism has proven as an unstable with a multiple cycles of rise and crash that are repeating every 4 to 7 years on average. Every cycle gives birth to a bigger corporations and smaller number of larger monopolies. The longer cycle is, the greater collapse you can expect. And the greatest collapses always end in war.
In the meantime between the crashes, Capitalism has created a monstrous propaganda ‘reality’ that would justify aggressive exploitation of the planet resources to the point of extinction. In that ‘reality’ Capitalism is an ideal system to strive for, consisting only of “free enterprises” and “free markets.” In that parallel ‘reality’ Socialism is incarnation of everything evil, and the key sign of ‘Socialism’ is State intervention. Well, it is not. That would be a State Capitalism, or Statism if you would like it better, where the State takes the role of a Superemployer. Seen during the times of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. You will recognize Socialism by the simple criteria – there is no exploitation. As an introduction to this text, you can watch an excellent explanation of differentiation criteria from the economics professor Richard D. Wolff:
Defining Capitalism (Duration: 29:40)
So, after watching this short lecture, we can see that Capitalism never was a humane system, but the one that is actively exploiting people, suppressing freedom, democracy and humane ideas. By all available means, including virus hoaxes. Is it then possible to make a transition to humane society inside that system? If we want to know, we have to keep an eye to Dan Price, owner and CEO of Gravity Payments company.
In 2004 he co-founded Gravity Payments with his brother, and four years later the big crash of 2008 came. In an attempt to save the company, Dan Price made an unorthodox move: He started raising the wages of his employees. With each raise, he noticed that profits were growing as well. In 2015 he cut his own salary from $1.1 million to $70,000 to help fund a minimum wage of $70,000 to all of his 120 employees. You can read full story from the pen of Paul Keegan at Inc. magazine:
“I never want to make screw-you money like the rest of the financial services industry.”
— Dan Price
So, he came to idea of equal pay for equal work, a cooperative in practice, which is a Socialist element, and he is still owner of the company, and gaining profits from the rising value of stocks, which is a Capitalist element. Could this transitional mix work? Follow Dan Price at Twitter to find out details.
So far the results are quite impressive:
I would say that the best proof of success was disappointing Rush Limbaugh, one of Capitalist propagandist clowns who expressed his clear wish.
He may not have wealth gains like megacorporations had since the ‘pandemic’ began…
…but I would rather bet on a company that respects its employees, instead of merciless megacorporations that treats people like dirt.
