To End Racism and Police Brutality, End Capitalism!

[nadinbrzezinski]

224. Well I posted a few years back

and now it is getting discussed far more, that capitalism as it exist these days is nowhere close to the actual concept of Adam Smith,

I recommend this a LOT

Mind you, he once was a member of the Economic Advisors to the President.

Much harder read

But critical to do. Yes, he does stay it, Marx's critique is correct... but his prescription is not marxism... it is something else...

and the discussion on post capitalism has started. I cannot vouch for some of these, since they are in my list of books to read, but will offer you some links... yes, I do some reading that is just insane, but I like systems analysis.

What will come is an excellent question.

Short term, some will be the usual progressive solutions that we all love and speak off. (Some of them work very well), but in the long term... we are really in a new and unexplored country. This will piss off the few radical lefties who were left behind a while ago. Why he or she is fighting so hard. Oh and Karl will remain a good tool for a good while. He just is an excellent took in analyzing some of the excesses of capitalism. But I am talking of an academic discussion here, not doctrinaire, we will all live in an utopia kind of a thing.

Though I expect some of those sites to give us far more comedy in years to come.
