FINAL CRISIS

Even if there’s no final crisis of history there can be a final crisis of capitalism

Fascism is doomed because its predicated on the absurd idea that you can impose a social order onto a people and that they'll grow into it, rather than just letting it fall to pieces and taking the rest of the society with it.


The shrinking margin between the costs of education and starting wages exacerbated by in-sourcing is also a factor. Furthermore, our entire medical system in the US is tooled for the end life comfort care of the Boomer caste. It's no surprise that it's falling apart the way that it is.


Holy shit man, this isn't the 17th century.

Are you sure you understand Marxist crisis theory? Yes, the "final crisis" might not be around the bend but the implication of automization, FroP, limits on production imposed by the money commodity etc. show that the end of capitalism is inevitable. Yes, we may all die in a nuclear war in the ensuing chaos but I don't think there's anyway to put the genie back in the bottle. I don't think we could go back to feudalism–no matter how much the elites may wish for it.

It's alarmingly clear that neoliberal capitalism is coming to an end, but isn't it possible to consider Authoritarian Capitalism, or capitalism between increasingly feudalistic companies, a dialectical progression? My question more broadly is whether the final crisis as articulated by Marx is materially outdated.

Not really, because changing the form of the state does not resolve the contradictions of capitalism.

neoliberal is authoritarian, simply with a velvet glove at times

You are right.

Everyone else here is behaving like stupid kids who can't take responsibility for anything and can only wait for things to change without them taking part in it.

Which makes me wonder about the average age of leftypol posters.

To Zig Forums's defense, a socialism for the 21st century hasn't been properly articulated yet.

And what are we waiting for? For the Other to do it for us?

And I'm using "Other" because I think Communism for this century has to pass through Zizek
