To End Racism and Police Brutality, End Capitalism!

217. In the defense of the rest of the left...

there is a plan... and it goes beyond JUST educating, or creating a vanguard, or whatever other nonsense... that Marxist outside the US just point and laugh at a group stuck in the 1950s.

It involves things like, in the US, reimposing Glass Steagal, single payer, higher taxes for the obscenely wealthy, social security (which came from the Communist party... FDR just ahem, stole it... in current terms, triangulated it away from them.)

And anyway, our friend here is not just about to get left behind, the ism's of the 20th century will give way, slowly to a post capitalist economy that is taking shape all around us.

What form it will take is not clear yet, But if this does not address income inequality and ecologic degradation, there will be trouble. It will have to address climate becuase this is the emergency of our time, and Classic Capitalism is incapable of dealing with it, but so is classic marxism.

One of the central features of it, is information and information sharing and what you can do with that for deficiencies sake. It might take some "socialist" features, such as single payer and worker rights, but in the beginning it will be a hybrid, why we really have no idea what it will look like. I remember some years ago speaking about what we call today capitalism is not either... it was very theoretical, and seeing economists now speak of some of those concepts is kind of nice.
