I can't see how we are not at the beginning of end stage capitalism one way or another. I don't know what it will look like, but either a lot of it is going to come crumbling down, or the mega corporations are going to get even bigger and somehow control even more.
Ew, steven crowder.
Yeah can we get rid of this stupid meme format? He made millions off of that.
I mean, haven't y'all been replying this exact thing every time it's posted and it keeps getting posted? I think either it's not working or people don't care. Or both even
Okay... and?
I guess I hit a nerve
No, not really, if you mean the votes on your comment - I didn't participate.
I was just genuinely curious about the purpose of your comment. Would you rather people stop pointing that out or what's the game here?
Why does there have to be a game? I'm just pointing out something I noticed
I think this video should be posted whenever Steven Crowder is mentioned.
Yikes. I have so many thoughts at this.
How the hell did someone get this footage? This looks like their house.
I feel sorry for that woman but also she made the choice to marry known piece of shit Steven Crowder so this is at least partially due to her poor choices.
As always, I feel an overwhelming urge to punch Steven in the face.
The woman in the video released the footage, to help her case against him.
we're seeing a leopard eat a face in real time, here
same, he needs a short, sharp, shock. Right to the head. I would also settle for a swift kick in his ass.
I believe it came out during his divorce hearings.
Holy shit. Dude is acting exactly like my ex-wife.
Haha, this guy's ex-wife is Steven Crowder.
Conditions in the US aren't as bad as Russia in 1917 or China just after the war years (i.e. WWII).
10s of millions or American sheeple tolerate corporations because they are politically stupid and dependent (or think they are necessarily dependent) on the system.
I see this going on for decades.
Probably climate will colapse soon
I see no major collapse in the next 30 years, and little collapses might serve as a warning.
Please don't promote fascists even in meme form.
Also this stuff about "xxxx stage" capitalism is corny AF. The system is far more complicated than some imaginary tankie phases. Online nostradamuses.
The idea of there being an 'end-stage' of capitalism is deterministic nonsense.
Feudalism lasted 1000+ years. Capitalism is not going to destroy itself; we need to destroy it.
Absolutely agree with your broader point, but I always thought the expression meant "this is the inevitable societal structure that capitalists have worked to achieve," not "this is the termination point."
The people who use the term are often pretty heavy on the "Capitalism falls because of its own contradictions" line of thinking, which is a touch too 19th century materialist for a 21st century analysis.
The beginning? I'd say we're well into it now.
I recommend this little blog post for an interesting view on this subject: https://pluralistic.net/2025/02/18/pikettys-productivity/
The point being capitalism will always revive from the ashes only to turn to shit again and collapse once monopolists seize power. So yes its in its end stage but not the kind where something else will replace it most likely.
Primarily in the US you mean? Things are different in other countries. The A and in and aren't having nearly as much difficulties with Capitalism.
It does feel like the oligarchs are making their endgame moves. They don't care about functioning economies anymore, they just want control of whatever is left. If nobody stops them in the US, they're coming for all of us.
We can only hope.
