Capitalism will fail for the same reason Communism failed

submitted by TheJamesRocket from self.debatealtright

''Communism ensured its eventual destruction by totally suppressing all dissent and criticism of the political system. By turning their countries into jails and trying to completely control all flow of information and negative feedback, communist leaders greatly reduced the creativity of their often highly creative people. By stifling the criticism from their most ethical citizens and putting them in punitive insane asylums, they became even worse than Islam and they eventually had the same fate as any closed system - irreversible entropy. Only the annihilation of communism could save these societies. If the reforms initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev take hold and are expanded, the Soviet Union and its former satellites may reverse their decline. The problem in the United States is much more subtle.'' -Author unknown

Thing is Capitalism keeps importing talented people from around the world to fill the ranks. Its a sterile society that can't produce its own talent, so it leeches off of others. Capitalism furthermore is no longer the best system economically.

It enjoyed a triumphant ascent in the last 300 centuries because it allowed for the most efficient allocation of resources and production. However, in modern times state capitalism has overshadowed it as the most efficient model. Its mostly impossible for large companies to compete globally without state support. Furthermore, great advances in AI technologies are threatening to make CEOs and executive board redundant.

If anything, due to the advent of the internet based financial economy, Capitalism retards a nation's growth and prosperity nowadays. Companies all congeal into monopolistic monoliths that invest little in R&D, instead opting to earn money through easy investment in bonds, stock buybacks and mergers.

The age of the free market is nearing its end.

Thats why capitalists have such a hardon for globalism: It allows them to get the best people from all over the world and bring them here. The brain drain from the 3rd world is a real phenomenon. It is part of the reason why America was able to dramatically outcompete the rest of the world for so many decades. But globalism itself is finally beginning to recede and fade away.

Capitalism furthermore is no longer the best system economically.

No, it isn't. Companys are way too obsessed with making profits, and the country is way too obsessed with GDP. What does it matter if a company is making record profits by tricking people into buying a useless product they don't need? What does it matter how high the countrys GDP is if people can't even make a living? Capitalism has become a cancer that has robbed us everything we once held dear. In our relentless pursuit for money, we sacrificed our entire way of life (healthy relations between men and women, healthy familys, healthy communitys), and got screwed out of any hopes for ever getting a home and retiring.

The age of the free market is nearing its end.

Agreed. The wretched age of globalism is gradually coming to a close. Whether the next system will be any better is anyones guess. As long as the banks and corporations are run by Jews, it will probably still be a crapshoot. They have spent the last 40 years screwing us over in various ways, and they will spend the next 40 years doing it again. Until we finally stand up as a collective and deal with them.

Nah not anymore now even companies losing money are pumped to high heaven by speculators. The country had a 33% drop in GDP and the markets are at all time highs. The real economy has been suffering since 2008 at least, arguably it's been suffering since the 70s. Most people are fairly poor. Only the speculators who don't care about anything but the stock prices which are pumped up with fed dollars have prospered. The rich (and the upper middle class which sucks their toes) live in a completely different world of free flowing money while the majority of the west struggles to make ends meet.

Modern banking and monetary policy disproves most of classical economics. The country sinks into bankruptcy and insolvency but stock markets are always record high. The FED just creates money out of thin air and props up the corporations and the banks. They're flooding the economy with cash.

Ultimately, what will happen is that the rich will sell off their stocks, invest in gold, land and other physical assets. The dollar will hyperinflate and this will destroy the wealth of the boomers and end the middle class. There wll be no wealth transfer. The rich will come out of the depression with no debt and loads of gold and physical wealth.

They'll just buy up the entire economy with pennies

Nothing stopping you from shorting stocks and buying gold with the rich. Stock peak coming soon then 1000 pt crash. Every dollar made on the market is one taken from under the nose of the Jew.

If the dollar hyperinflates then that's the end of the US as hegemon of the world. Many countries are already rebalancing away from USD reserves. Dollar index is falling.

Sounds like a cope. People love to go on about how censorship and suppression of dissent don't work and are counter-productive, yet rulers continue to do so, and have done so forever.
