World Capitalism Proves Failure

8

Today world economy is on the verge of another collapse. Many experts call the impending crisis the most devastating in history, predicting a decrease in US GDP of up to 50%, and unemployment growth of up to 30%, which was not even during the Great Depression.

But why is the development of the economy cyclical, and, sooner or later, the world is sliding into another "hole"? The reason lies in the capitalist system of production-distribution, which has a serious flaw.



The essence of capitalism, as is known, is the extraction by the owner of profit from the exploitation of wage labor. All means of production are in private hands.

The income received from the sale of manufactured goods, in pursuit of profit, the capitalist allows for further expansion of production. As a result, there comes a situation when supply significantly exceeds demand.

The owner begins to incur losses, closes part of the production capacity, reduces workers or cuts his wages. Trade relations are broken, a shortage of funds arises, financial markets collapse - an economic collapse sets in, which is called a crisis.

The capitalist’s problem is that the situation is aggravated by the decline in workers ’incomes (which he is to blame for), since the latter, in turn, consume even less goods. The economic decline continues until the balance between supply and solvent demand is restored.

After the crisis, a period of stagnation sets in, when the decline in production has stopped, but there is no growth either. The next stage, called revitalization, is characterized by increased exploitation of workers and the introduction of technological innovations in production. Only then does growth begin, which eventually ends again with overproduction and the collapse of the economic system.

Each time, with the onset of another crisis, the working class takes the most painful blow, which is on the verge of survival. And the situation can be resolved in only one way - the transition from capitalism, which has repeatedly demonstrated its failure, to socialism.

    Another collapse in 30 years. In the internet there is a cool video "A Brief History of the Dollar Collapse".
    Since 2008, we have already passed 2 crises.
    Bottom line: the list of bucks millionaires - billionaires from the Russian Federation is very swollen.

    Where they understand this, they distribute "helicopter" money that support "small shopkeepers" - small business.
    After the epidemic, there will be less competition, which will inevitably affect the quality of goods, their value, and, as a consequence, the quality of life.

    After a pseudo-pandemic, capitalism will flourish, though, as the Kiev cicero Pedalka said, not only everyone will see this.

    There never was a crisis under the communists. Because vodka and tobacco were state property. Only vodka and tobacco were used to pay salaries to state employees and pensions to pensioners in the USSR !! In short, we must take power into our own hands. Our sugar is 26-30 rubles. We take a moonshine still, in the village the "bro" has a well - water is a freebie. Half a liter is 15 rubles. maximum. In general, we need to compete with Kazakhstani vodka, at least arrange it at our plant. This is how the healing "water" strains the brain and prevention from coronavirus.

    And the situation can be resolved in only one way - the transition from capitalism, which has repeatedly demonstrated its failure, to socialism.

    This is a rather amusing statement, given that the author most likely personally observed the deafening crash of the socialist experiment in our country. In fact, there is no alternative to capitalism and is not expected. By the way, it cannot be said that world crises did not affect the Soviet Union.

    Judging by the style, this article was written by a retired teacher of history of the CPSU.

    Until recently, there was such a bike (or maybe not a bike), as if the Soviet "red directors" deliberately ruined the country's economy in order to grab all the tidbits for themselves. 30 years have passed. Now is it time to ponder over the fact that the current economy is being intentionally destroyed in order to take revenge?

    The economic situation in the country is aggravated by the fact that in the Russian Federation it is not just capitalism, but neocolonial capitalism, when most of the resources go to the mother country. Therefore, the crisis in the Russian Federation is deeper.
