The Capitalist System | Financial Collapse

The Capitalist System - Melting glaciers, gullied seas, the financial markets are about to collapse. Spectacular images of how growth continues to be blinding. Outside you can hardly see anything because of the smog and the smoke screen.
The Capitalist System (2018)
Director: Florian Opitz
Writers: Florian Opitz
Stars: Haim Bodek, Ulrike Herrmann, Tim Jackson
Genre: Documentary
Country: Germany
Language: English
Release Date: May 3, 2018 (Germany)
Synopsis:
Politicians, economists and the media are obsessed with economic growth. But why do we still cling to this concept? Clearly it is impossible to have infinite growth on a finite planet.
In ‘System Error’ award-winning director Florian Opitz (“Speed, In Search of Lost Time” and “The Big Sellout”) examines the fundamentals of capitalism. He reveals unexpected correlations and lays bare the pathological nature of the current system. He also examines the continuing impact of Karl Marx as an analyst of capitalism.
Filmed in Brazil, China, Germany, the U.K and the U.S.A, System Error gives a fresh perspective on the capitalist system and where it is leading us.
Reviews:
"The presentation is pretty good despite some natural clunkiness expected when German filmmakers decide to make a movie in English.
Don't believe the other reviews if they say "been there done that" or "nothing new here" - In fact, as stated above, it does present its arguments in a novel way and is thorough in breaking things down.
The fact of the matter is that current day (post?) capitalism relies almost exclusively on growth and profit for only growth and profit's sake. The other fact is that the Earth is a finite environment and will not be capable of providing infinite resources or letting us do so in a manner that doesn't further damage it, which is one way that capitalism externalizes losses onto the public commons. The growth has to stop sometime or something else will give.
Sadly, I think the natural progression of things as laid out by this film has us living in one of the many dystopian sci-fi scenarios involving the billionaire class escaping to off-world satellite colonies or Mars while the rest of us are turned into batteries like in The Matrix. OK, that last part is a bit hyperbolic, but the rest of us already are and will continue to suffer the consequences of unfettered growth, the financialization of everything and the resulting damage to our environment leading to danger to all of our lives."

It's clearly not merely for the sake of growth though. Humanity is growing. Basic Evolution of the Earth, plants, animals, etc. mandates growth. Thus to provide the food, water, energy, housing, and other resources for human evolution, it necessitates the growth of these resources and industries. When you bring in almost 7.3 Million illegal immigrants in 3 years without developing those resources to provide for that population, you destroy a nation for votes to consolidate complete and total bribed corrupt Communist/ neo-Marxist Authoritarian Power. This is the antithesis of our Founding Principles and Constitution(s).

I bought a smart phone two years ago. Its battery couldn't be replaced now as it comes inbuilt. The software is regularly updated and its perfectly fine for my use but it might end up becoming an e-waste as capitalism promotes generation of revenue through quick selling cycles. The same story is with my car. A regular car workshop can't service my car anymore. I have to go back to the same company from where I bought for any maintenance and repair as it generates good revenue for the Company. I'll be encouraged and given exchange offer there for new models. I remember the good old days when my father used a radio set for 30 years through repair and replacement of transistors and other parts. Capitalism and GDP based growth has made the economy unsustainable for this planet.

[@LiebeGruesse]

@@chris.bcfc.keeprighton.5685 That’s just not true looking at the history. Capitalism started 200 years ago in the western world. While it‘s technological progress also created superior weapons and made two world wars very heavy. The western world has since then lived in peaceful prosperity. Even 27 European countries have formed and united peacefully. Which is a total contrast to the times before capitalism. Most wars since then happen in countries that don’t participate in Western capitalism. In capitalism the economy grows, so does income and wealth for each member of society regardless of inequality which could be largely addressed by politics. Social security systems, democracy, education and healthcare for every child - all those things came AFTER capitalism had established. Capitalism makes people rich without violence. Bill Gates, Elon Musk or the ALDI brothers (in Germany) didn’t have to kill anyone. That has never been possible before capitalism, say, in the middle age. You confuse capitalism with the evil itself, which has always existed. Having that said, of course, also I can imagine a nicer world where even inequality doesn’t exist. But inequality has not been invented first with capitalism.

[@heliocardoso3884]

If aliens came to our planet they might have question why we need price tags on things since modern day advances in Science and Technology already enable us to create superabundance of goods and services. There are enough resources to feed, clothe, house, build hospitals, schools etc for everyone on the planet. Real food production capacity in one country alone (the US or Argentina) is probably enough to feed most of the world's people. Resources are plentiful in our planet, from fresh water to energy from the sun (day light) but the way we ration and use resources is very counter productive and a menace to our own existence. Also, we don't have to limit ourselves by a handful of socio-economic arrangements such as Capitalism, Feudalism, Monarchy, Socialism, Communism, Dictatorship. We humans are good at innovation but the most powerful people of today don't want innovation past these few optional ways that keep them on top. However, that does not mean we are not capable of achieving just that.

[@polupopus5836]

And who is going to do all the nasty work "for fun" .. when all is distributed "for free" ... oil rigs, sewer cleaning, dental implants, forestry, fish farming, etc, etc .... you will quickly see things fall apart and grind to a standstill without incentives for most work. Even myself (I run a travel agency) would not work as hard if I got everything for free anyway. Most of Europe isn't capitalist ; it's already taking away half of my income to give away to others. Many of those other hang around at home, work part-time, etc..... which means we all have slightly less work done and a lower standard of life.

[@heliocardoso3884]

​@@polupopus5836 to put it into perspective, we live in a Money Based System where we believe people only do work if they get paid... how many people do volunteering work in this system? We have Doctors Without Borders for example, we have countless parents raising their kids and they aren't becoming financially richer because of it, not necessarily. When there's a natural disaster a lot of people volunteer to help. In the old days a lot of the people who advanced Science did not become wealthy and had no money incentive to do the work they did, in fact many were ostracised, ridiculed, sent to prison, killed (i.e Alan Turing, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla)... now where's the incentive in that? They did it because they believe in it. It also seems many Scientists don't do Research because they want to get a Nobel Prize, they do it because they want to solve a problem. Soldiers go to war and don't come back filthy rich. They often come back in coffins actually. So why do they do it? Because they are made to believe in a cause. If money was most people's incentive to be "activated and do some work" then why aren't most people going for Investment Banking, they could make more money that way. Why studying something that won't allow you to make that much money? For those who are religious, even Jesus Christ sacrificed himself not for the sake of money but for the sake of what he believed in, no one had to pay him. Martin Luther King, Gandhi did not become filthy rich for the work they've done, even risking their lives for others. Where's the incentive in that? Also, with the capabilities of modern Science and Technology it seems we can already create Super Abundance. Just step into any average food factory, car factory, modern warehouse, modern farm in a developed country and see how much work is being done by machines and automated systems. The output is enormous and it does not require millions of people to keep it up if done properly. The US alone probably has the capability to produce enough food for all 8 Billion people in the world. Now they won't do it because of "how the Market works". In the old days you'd step into an elevator you'd see an elevator operator, he's no longer needed and the elevator can do more and better work than before. When we are born we are given everything for free, food, care, shelter, education... is that bad? Not necessarily. We still get breathing air for free, is that bad? Should we work for it?

[@heliocardoso3884]

@@polupopus5836 Are you aware that with modern technology we can already automate countless jobs? Have you ever been to a modern factory, warehouse in the most developed countries? It seems that the output capacity of factories, warehouses, farms etc are ever increasing without having to employ ever more people. All this is done in a system where people need to make money to survive, so imagine a system where people's survival is guaranteed regardless. If your worry is having the max amount of people employed then lets bring back the elevator operator, let's bring back the horse and buggy, let's bring back boats rowers, let's ditch the modern combustion engine, let's bring back men on horses delivering our mail worldwide How many parents take care of their kids worldwide? How much do they get paid? They pay for their kids schooling, do they expect the kids to pay them back with interest? Do you know about Doctors Without Borders? Are you aware of how many people engage in voluntary work worldwide? When a Natural Disaster strikes people tend to help each other free of charge. Not all experts charge people for their advice. Oxygen is still free, does that spoil people? Contrary to what we are led to believe, money is not the only incentive for people to get things done. People still get things done if they believe in what they are doing. Jesus Christ did what he did and he didn't become financially wealthy, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Leonardo da Vinci. If money was our only incentive why aren't most of us going for Investment Banking? We can make quite a lot of money in that field right?! If we have a lower standard of living than what is currently possible it certainly is by design by those in power. Capitalism has been the best system so far, but that does not mean we humans cannot invent newer and better systems. If we think we are always bound by the options we've had in the past then we should have been living in caves still

If you are religious then Jesus did what he did because he believed in it, not money, same for Martin Luther King, Gandhi etc etc. It also seems that many scientists don't seem to do research because they want to win a Novel Prize but because they want to solve a problem

Because they vote for politicians that don’t want to help redistribute wealth and value. They believe “trickle down” is enough.

Money is important, and monetary system and general rules of capitalism are ok. But the problem is that 90% of the people on the globe don't really understand this system. Money is just a temporary paper (digits) issued by the Cenral Bank of particular country, and by definition there is rougly 2.5% of new currency issued to the market per year, which helps liquidity, but can rise the prices of some goods or services... (then we have what we call inflation). Obviously through C19 lockdowns etc, etc... they issued roughly 30% of the currency to the market.... tokeep the system working... Luckly we have to many goods in the world so it didn't make too much harm... Again... Currency is just to confirm/make an agrement betwen the people and the institucions.

It is nonsense to argue that a permanent increase in capital is a natural law in light of the fact that all human body temperatures are 36.5 degrees Celsius. The existence of money that guarantees the value of the labor force is premised on the phenomenon that constitutes the existence of human, which is all involved together. Locke's assertion that all wealth comes from labor, Adam Smith's assertion that the source of nation's wealth is labor, and Marx's assertion that labor begins with materialization as an object all speak of money as a means of guaranteeing value. The balance of market, competition, cooperation, and the equilibrium of production and consumption was possible based on this money, and capitalism's lasting growth was possible. However, as money became fiat money along with financialization, the prosperity of cooperating humanity is about to end. economy not any more, it is just gamble on which the future of humanity is betted.

We have been running the planet on defective algebra since 1945 but by 1960 most Americans had televisions to be brainwashed for Consumerism.

No, Capitalism does not exist only on growth - one company grows another subsides, it is a constant transition from one to another. Marx was not right - Cronyism will likely be the doom of Society - Right now the WEF, UN, etc are all about killing 6 BILLION people over the next 5 - 10 years..this will be starvation and disease - it is bound to happen when the 'ELITE' gets their way

infinite growth is possible. We are living through it now.

[@selfmadesm2068]

Until you come up with a better system, capitalism is the best reward system to a money that doesn't exist.

The real problem is not growth per se, but expectations vs. reality. Highly intelligent people can deliver results that exceed other people's (and their own) expectations, whereas dumb people are barely motivated by excessive promises that nobody can deliver.

Marxism is not the answer … here’s some simple fixes … tax the mega rich …. Give all young people 100k free no tax so they can build … higher the wages so monopoly board has more money on the board so there can be more growth which will allowe for true market creation… council tax need to be re-calculated as uk most expensive house pay 0.001% to rest whom pays any where from 1%-10% if not more …. All basic need housing , food , utilities… none can be mega profit areas these thing people buy daily to live they not luxury they are necessary you can have luxury versions were people coming ridiculous profits but there has to be a basic so all people truly have a fair shot at being innovative and a capitalist system….. country that do regulate housing doing well … Norway who takes country asserts and invests it to more assets or to stack that money in a country fund are able to use the interest it makes to fund a lot the country …. The eco system that gov ment to be building strength of country based on it asserts and talents make it strong with more balance between the meagre rich whom could only get that rich via large a mouth people not being gaven fair just wage for it time ….. there company in America that pays all his work 70k and doing very well and people whom work there go extra hard cos they inspired to not cos they forced to and any one with kids can have unlimited time off when needed …. There many example of good capitalism…. There enough money in system gov spend much this wrong like on wars it has no bussiness in as most where spyop poxy cos of dollar oil and over throwing gov in country to make them less stable for greed and power … military protecting poppy filed or mine control agency mk ultra secrete black projects …. Isreal funded by the west cos of a Jewish problem noting to do with the west many in west live together all races of people … poverty gotten worst since gov become more corrupt lobbyist over throwing democracy…. Most wars based on not hearing other side cos this work in interest, in those waging war which been shown to be big money laundering of country wealth …. News and film push sex and blood fest to demoralise the peoples lack of moral or wisdom in film that could have a positive impact lifting them up with good ideas rather then overly masculine women , weak white men , who don’t fall under vikings or politicians …. First they disempowered the black race with music drugs crime so on but there been a shift which is great to see more positive film…. Film impact our thinking can inspire rather then twerking half naked women across all genres all type of film has to be sex sense or violents … which I see just allowed to lower moral standard in reach for freedom how freeing when respect your inner power bar been set so low … I don’t have all answer nore to I clam to be a expert just sum food for though …. On capitalism and how gov could do more to make country and people have sumthink to feel proud of where where your born does not matter what matter how innovative and creative you can be to add to creation of our for fathers …. Protect country and its people first … build the people up with positive inputs when come to entertainment not propaganda of right or left whom are the same btw …. I love all races so pls take what I’m saying with its intent to just want everyone to feel truly not be divided and conquered but to unite and prosper no one should be with out in world of abundance…. Farms should not be mass produce as pollutes environment old fashion farming in recent year proven to be great for all …. Propaganda would have you think otherwise …. I think plenty can b done for better country and gov and peoples …. I think a lot just lies based on one set winning not all …. Fear mongers. Ruling by fear is a new way to rule and is not real power.

Well man is above nature, and continous growth is natural in the order of man set forth by The Creator. On an economic level, there does come a point where all the problems are solved, that's something that many don't have a point of reference to. But all that is solved if one puts their faith in King Yeshua
