You’re missing the wood for the trees. Capitalism is just a costume worn by power. In the West, it's the custome of choice. Elsewhere, power wears other costumes. We’re watching the early stages of a costume change in the US: the Trump regime ditching capitalism for a statist mafia-run economy.

Oh yeah? So them how did Marx predict that the end result of capitalism will inevitably be a fascist state, which is what you're seeing now. When the worker is exploited to the point of breaking, it's either a workers revolution, or an authoritarian crackdown, we are having the latter...

It's not an coincidence that shit started going really wrong in 2008, when the banks crashed. The saving of the banks was the first step to fascism. It was unavoidable, ad capitalism had nicely created the 'too big to fail' concept through its inevitable promoted monopoly power...

..once people are broke, you can convince them of just about anything to make their lives better, getting rid of immigrants, shutting off government assistance, blaming hunter biden etc. If you look at history, EXACTLY the same happened post 1929. Different countries, same result.
