How Will Capitalism End: Reflections on a Failing System - A Lecture by Wolfgang Streeck

[@haggis58]

"The emancipation of the working classes must be conquered by the working classes themselves. We cannot, therefore, co-operate with people who openly state that the workers are too uneducated to emancipate themselves and must be freed from above by philanthropic big bourgeois and petty bourgeois." - Marx and Engels 1879

Brilliant.

The way things are shaping up it's Democracy that will end.

[@modusponens1094]

This is the concern. A systemic change seems increasingly likely, but which way it breaks is hard to predict. Capitalism and Democracy are fundamentally at odds.

[@bobm6423]

Show me where there’s been a Democracy, really. What “Democratic” society didn’t rely on some type of slave labor or stolen land or some other such form of exploitation. Doesn’t really matter anyways. We’re finished. Most just haven’t realized it yet.

@RED PILL PORTAL I am left wing and I pretty much agree with what you just said, labels aren't useful anymore they are just there to create divisions.

[@MsPedross]

Should i be skeptical or critical on his claims if i choose the latter i would say that his claims sounds like inconsistent if not fantasious.

Both Finland and Denmark are among the mosy globalised countries

[@BelgianCongo]

Germany paid for Greece once, it won't do it a second time, in the next financial crisis the EU will cease to exist, capitalism however will live on.

[@MasterKeyMagic]

The solution to capitalism is left-Anarchism set in a resource based economy.

I would believe anything that a german person says, if each point is followed by a "Ja"
