Why Capitalism Will Not Collapse

[@ZakWayne]

Very interesting work. Though it may be an over-simplification and ideological, this brings to the forefront the repeated efforts of economic reform. What I have learned is that societies today are not purely capitalist or socialist or communist or whatever; they’re on the spectrum of any of these relative to the others. The people or a society may need traits from one form or another over time and cannot stay stagnant. Looking forward to other listens.

I believe socialism isn't separate from capitalism. The argument between the seller and the buyer creates a fair price, likewise the argument between the worker and the capitalist should create a fair wage, what has happened is that argument no longer takes place, because the voice and power of the worker has been destroyed.

[@georgerandel1441]

​@arandmorgan while I do agree the voice and power of the worker has been been hindered, I think the cause is do to the socialist policies to begin with. Things like minimum wage bar the lowest skilled workers from entering the market. I think it also makes workers less likely to negotiate for their wage. Turns into a "well, the wage is what it is". Overregulation hindering competitors from entering the market lowers the competition between businesses for workers with the skills required.

This entire comment thread is goofy - it doesn't sound like anyone understands capitalist social relations let alone the goals of communism

Wrong. Everything has its time. Marx was right about capitalisms weaknesses and it's ultimate end

[@jimbobschaoscorral7698]

nothing is set in stone. The collapse of capitalism is no different.

What does Marx have to say about misused apostrophes?

@@8BitNaptimethat’s how you know you don’t have an argument lol you just attack syntax instead of substance 😂

The ultimate end of capitalism is not the topic, the topic is capitalism’s implosion, the system killing itself. The writer says if let alone capitalism will survive and won’t collapse under any of its economic crisis, leaving only revolution as a way for it to end 🤷

Capitalism and a freemarket cannot exist in a corporatocracy.....

[@WarriorMomma]

OH YES IT WILL

Interesting. Thanks for posting

Nothing lives 4 ever! not even crapitalism lol.

[@georgerandel1441]

I don't think 2 parties trading goods and services between each other will ever die unless humans do. Communism can't even get rid of capitalism within their societies. Humans naturally trade.

[@dirkscott5410]

Yeah but we don’t have capitalism. We have cronyism.

[@jimbobschaoscorral7698]

Capitalism's tendency toward authoritarianism will never be shaken.

[@جعفرمعفر-ط3ج]

Monopopy capitalism IS cronyism

[@12pentaborane]

We DO have capitalism by the definition that owners of capital own the means of production and the ability of capital to influence and organize society. Unlike what so many libertarians say you can get long lasting monopolies in free markets. As a result of capital acquisition being a necessity for survival rather than a willing engagement those same monopolies influence behavior to the monopolies benefit.

[@alithelin1234]

capitalism is cronyism

[@cutecowcomments]

such a cop out answer. crony capitalism IS capitalism. cronyism/monopoly/oligopoly is the logical outcome of a profit-based system
