#PostCapitalism

For decades leftists have cheerfully called some especially troublesome developments in our society #LateStageCapitalism or post capitalism - acting like those developments were a sign that capitalism has run its course and we'd be freed from it soon.

I never understood that, as the natural successor to (hyper) capitalism is fascism, not socialism.
I wish I had been wrong.

"My Secret to Success"

I think I can—that’s all that counts.
As long as I pour every ounce
Of being into my blind belief
Despite reality, the chief
Concern is not how competent
I am or even my intent,
But rather whether I’ve thrown out
Every last shred of reasonable doubt.
