Trump is Catabolic Capitalism
The phase when an organism breaks down its own muscles and organs just to stay alive.
Same here. What we witness with the gutting of social services and the very fabric of government under a de-facto kleptocratic ruler who wants to establish a nepotic dictatorship is what may have been the natural evolution of Capitalism all along: Its Catabolic phase.
Any profits flowing to the rentier class are now from the destruction of other's standard of living and any accumulated wealth: Inflation, gutting of regulations meant o avert abject slavery and wage theft, pollution and corruption.
The masks are off... the true nature of the beast is for all to see. And there is no such thing as Eco-anything and Friendly whatever in this system. In the dialectic process we are now witnessing the synthesis of Feudalism and Capitalism, which will inevitably create a revolutionary reaction. In this last phase I believe the very nature of the Capitalistic system achieves its true expression and balance. That of a Cancer eating its host.
And like a Cancer it needs to be treated ASAP or else the host dies.
Like I suspect we may jump to either primitive Communism if a nuclear war happens (not good) or Communism ushered in through the correct use of technology and AI.
Time is running out.
