Not your dad’s #Marxism. If #Trump ’s corruption, the #EpsteinClass, #genocide, #smugillionaires, #For-ProfitPrisons, wars of distraction, the #AI bubble, #JoblessYouth, #CorporateWelfare & #Musk killing sick children abroad haven’t made you a radical #socialist, nothing ever will. -
If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric. -

So what does this all mean?
It means that #Marx and #Riccardo, and #HenryGeorge were all correct.
There is no workable system of #Capitalism that will not become some form of #Manorialism then #LateStageCapitalism and finally #Fasicsm.
Here I'm defining Capitalism specifically a any system that allows arbitrarily large wealth accumulation.
I do not think there is any possible purely #political nor purely #economic solution. Rather, every solution proposed must inherently be a #PoliticalEconomy that is resistant to the accumulation of power and a political system that is resistant to the accumulation of power.
Do I think #Marxist #Socialism is such a system? No! Absolutely not. I think #HenryGeorge was prescient when he called #Marxism a recipe for #Authoritarianism.
Marx never proposed a political system that was even moderately robust to corruption.
Likewise, I think preventing returns to capital is bad. We _want_ individual people to invest their surplus into making bursts of short term profit. That is the actual value add capitalism brings.
Assuming you had a political system resistant to corruption, then #Taxes are a possible solution. One could, for example, place a small tax on wealth, creating gravitational pressure of the returns to capital. Set to the right level, this should be able to resist massive wealth accumulation.
I'll have to save my thoughts on political systems to later.

#Republicans are truly the dumbest people on the planet. Imagine being an adult in #elected office and believing that someone's fashion choices are indicative of their #ideology. How TF is a #hoodie proof that someone is a #Marxist? This is just the latest #evidence that none of these #rightwing #lunatics have even the slightest idea what #Marxism is. To them, it's just a generic #pejorative for anyone they don't like. Shame on you if you #vote for these #clowns.
