there’s no real such a thing as early or late capitalism since capitalism is a simple math principle :
you produce something, and can choose not to. ( why making something you don’t need or no one needs )
you can sell it if someone wants it or keep it for yourself at the price you decide ( the law of offer and demand.)
you have the right to earn a compensation and keep your revenues for the work you have done.
you do whavever you want with the money you have made as long someone accept it.
that’s the very base, it’s not even politics, unless you live in a regime that decide you’re not eligible for a revenue for your work. Slavery in a nutshell.
now there are a few things.
overproduction leads to mass consumerism and throwaway devices that won’t last and create a lot of pollution and waste for nothing.
globalization does not creates jobs, and if you want to adapt, you will have to accept to work 13, 14 hours a day and be paid a misery to be competitive.
monopolies preventing free entrepreneurship.
lobbyism, the relation between corporations and governments, when governments invest money to help megacorporations, give billionaires tax cuts ( billionaires, not the millionaires and local makers CEOs who should have tax cuts but they don’t ) well, I’m gonna simplify a lot.
by principle, and this is from a HR person. YOU are a corporation. A corporation is a legal form of a person.
When you draw a commission and sell it, your name is your corporation.
When you are an employee, your boss is your customer. You can chose not to work and the guy has the right not to pay you.
That’s exactly your right. it works also for a left wing government and here’s what is happening : billion-dollar enterprises, which are corporations are also eligible to a form of welfare. And this is where things are going wrong.
Liberalism helps these corporations that produce nothing here anymore. This should be good that the state helps your local computer maker, your local business, groceries, Pedro’s pizza restaurant or Billy Bob who customize trucks in his garage and his family.
Instead these guys pays a shitton of tax at least here in France and on your payslip you check the deductions, and also keep in mind the corporation also pays even more tax, while international corps who come and get their offices implemented there, will pay less, if not nothing. The government will welcome them.
«Hello Exxon, hello BP, Microsoft, Oracle! Bayer! Pfeizer! DOW! Oh sure you are in direct challenge to our national companies, but you Americans are so cool and so strong, hey I want to buy a coca cola from you, here, have some Alstohm, or might you want some Areva? Renault maybe? Oh nothing like your Chrysler…»
The real enemy of capitalism is liberalism. It’s the globalist’s mafia. Of course, corporations have all interest to have a socialist government, they won’t pay more taxes or even you won’t see any benefit from the “equality” promised. There will still be billionaires in power, that will not change, and you, you just won’t have the right to work when you want, where you want.
Then there’s another thing that maintains this system alive and it’s not even longer money. Money is now printed continuously by the ECB or the FED; sprinkling to ensure there is still that cycle of consumerism, but the real thing on what the money is backed on isn’t a standard anymore, like gold, but instead on the market and speculation. And this does not have any reference, not even on the production - we barely make any cars and have agriculture left.
We are limited in resources, which forces the globalists to skip capitalist trade, that is what keeps peaceful relations, with WAR. especially in the midwest because well ; oil. The arabs aren’t going to accept a money that is no longer backed by a real value or production. No one else will.
This is why there’s terrorism. «oh how do they get those weapons? Hey we can get you rid of them, let us bomb em for some oil. Or we bomb you for democracy.»
This is the New World Order lots of people told us about. except there is no illuminati or a central bad guy worshipping satan or some ancient nazis shit. It’s something our lifestyle have made.
