Capitalism Hits Home: BRICS & The End of US Dominance

[S06 E09] BRICS & The End of US Dominance
**Stay connected with the latest news from d@w. Join our mailing list today: www.democracya...
In this episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad discusses the decline of the American empire, both globally and domestically. After WWII, the US was the only industrialized nation that stood strong, helping it ascend to global dominance. Today, however, the world order is shifting. The BRICS economic alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) is extremely powerful and widespread, with over 19 more countries hoping to join the alliance. The US dollar is losing its primacy and our country is steeped in debt. Internally, poverty is ever-increasing, corruption is normalized in our politics, and our wealthiest individuals and corporations don’t pay taxes. How did we get here? What can be done? Dr. Fraad tackles these questions and more.
Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad (CHH) is a ‪@democracyatwrk‬ production. The show addresses the intersection of capitalism, class, and personal lives, and explores what is happening in the economic realm and its impact on our individual and social psychology.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subject to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.

[@rebecca_burns14]

It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions.

[@edward.abraham]

Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you.

True. But there is something very deeply wrong with many, many average Americans today, too. Example... I was driving home last night, when I tried to pass a large red pickup on a stretch of road with dashed lines (which means it's perfectly allowed), and the pickup stepped on it, so that I couldn't pass and so that I could have very well crashed into oncoming traffic (and at night, when visibility is lower). It was attempted murder. The guy driving the pickup had zero concern for killing another human, and was even trying to kill someone (me, though obviously not personal). Again, there's something very, very, very wrong with a great number of average Americans. When I was younger, I thought people were basically good. But the sum of my life experiences has shown that they're basically selfish (if not mentally deranged, as lots are--as the pickup driver was), and therefore basically bad.

A point with mass shootings: while gun legislation would bring down shootings by a lot, it doesn’t tackle the root of the vast majority of shootings, as most are crime & gang related. And what causes crime and gang violence? Yup, crippling poverty, inequality, lack of opportunities, and no education or support systems & so on (i.e.: unbridled capitalism).

[@LeviathanLee]

Gangbangers aren't shooting up schools churches and grocery stores. Drug dealers typically shoot at other criminals. The gun problem isn't remotely about gangbangers and the typical criminal. There have been gangsters and criminals in America since it's inception and there wasn't this much gun violence. The vast majority of these shootings are actually the fake 2A crowd who typically operate out of the human rights violating concept of racism. Those same folks are ok with felons who shouldn't be armed having guns as long as they're white. I live around these people so I know this. We can't fix the problem because we keep thinking it's everything else but them. Your false narrative is part of the problem

We need all the scholars to lead us to fight our government from lying to us. We need all the scholars to lead us to put dishonest politicians out. Then again…our government is compromised already from the Justice System to Judiciary System to the lowest system level…I guess…we Americans will always be Americans which is living in a dream of “living the American Dream” so comfortably that we pretend that the rest of the world is still in our grasp… Bad New China is as strong as the US if not stronger. Bad New The rest of the world is ditching us left and right.

BRIC'S isn't helping matters. According to some analysis, the United States and other regions of Europe may have a recession in 2023. Because china and emerging countries frequently grow faster than more developed economies, a global recession, which is defined as a decline in annual global per Capita GDP, is more uncommon. Fundamentally, if economic growth lag's behind population growth, the global economy is said to be in recession.

Global use of the US Dollar has dropped 20% in the past year. The US Treasury and Fed can absorb that by reducing the amount of dollars they create, selling more US Securities, and raising taxes on the rich. Unfortunately, if shrinking dollars continues for the US, the GNP also shrinks. Eventually, a devaluation of the Dollar will take place. Then, all hell breaks loose in the US!

As Recently as 1989, the United States invaded a Sovereign Country (Panama) specifically to ensure that a reliable and accessible canal through Central America remained available.

Amen to all that. The US can't do shit, they'll sanction and blockade, but to invade they'd need to cut down in the funding towards Ukraine and south Korea. They literally can't afford it, or win any wars at all. Their only plan is going nuclear, but it won't. Not long enough, at least. Brazil and Argentina have rejoined Unisouth(Unisul) and are negotiating an unified currency, in the first week of Lula's government, it allowed the docking of 2 Iranian warships against the US's orders. Nicaragua has been historically a great ally to Lula in his first and second term mandates, as has Venezuela. Lula will likely pay Nicaragua and offer economical protection to have it in BRICS+ and Unisul. World War 3 would(is about to) ensure the end of capitalism and the dawn of international communism, which is inevitable. There are simple strategies that are irreversible and unstoppable; that would completely destroy the bourgeoisie. I'm honestly more afraid of Disney than the Grander US's Empire and NATO. Remember that north Korea is basically a defense Tower for China and has been at war with the US since they invaded the south and declared it sovereign. Seriously, the us can't do shit They could either threat nuclear or instate a fascist coup and hold every person as compliant hostages by their data. They don't want to invade Nicaragua, believe me And even if they destroyed civilization, either with nuclear bombs or fascism; communism would still take over as soon as possible. They are actually panicking at the sound of every step Lula takes. As they should.

How would the English, Germans, Italians, etc. respond to the French calling themselves "The Only Europeans"?

Haiti and the Dominican Republic were initially in the same island called Hispaniola... this was AMERICA, 100 years before the first Unitedstadian city called Jamestown!!! The people of the United States of America, do not speak for all AMERICANS. Why could it be that the Unitedstadians think and present themselves as the only AMERICANS? Unitedstadians could consider being respectful to the other AMERICANS who live in other parts of America. Golden rule? Who are the signers of the Monroe doctrine? AMERICA’s back yard?

One of the main risks associated with a gold-backed currency is that it can limit a country's flexibility in monetary policy. Because the currency is backed by a fixed amount of gold, it can be difficult for a country to adjust the money supply to meet changing economic conditions. This can lead to economic instability if the supply of money becomes too tight or too loose. Another potential risk is that a gold-backed currency can contribute to hoarding and speculation in gold. If individuals and investors perceive that the value of gold is likely to increase, they may hoard it or speculate on its price, leading to volatility in the gold market and potentially contributing to economic instability. Finally, a gold-backed currency can make a country vulnerable to external shocks and fluctuations in the global gold market. If the price of gold declines significantly, a country with a gold-backed currency may be forced to devalue its currency or risk economic instability. Overall, while a gold-backed currency is not inherently capable of collapsing nations, there are some potential risks and drawbacks associated with it that could contribute to economic instability and even the collapse of nations under certain circumstances

Michael Hudson's book "Super Imperialism" (From the 70s, with an updated edition) explains so much of the USA dominance after WWII, especially mentioning the large loan to Britain that was made as Britain was basically bankrupt. That loan ended "The Sterling Area" which was how the British Empire had monopolized the world, and USA "cleverly" overtook Britain at Bretton-Woods conference that initiated the US Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency and eventually the Petrodollar that has STOLEN billions from every other country as the CIA disrupted any nation that attempted any moves against the USA domination.

BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.

I read that India lifted 450 million people out of extreme poverty, and continues to do more to lift people out of poverty into the middle class by creating manufacturing, green technology, IT and other good jobs under schemes like the PLI scheme.
