Fintan,
Thanks for the excellent response to our comments. Could you help me to
understand your points better though?
You said:
<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
< Capitalism, like blowing up a balloon, seems predictable at first:
1) Blow into balloon
2) Balloon gets bigger, so repeat step 1.
Until you realise that there is a hidden step 3 built into the system:
3) Balloon is stretched to capacity and BURSTS.
Capacity- in the case of capitalism is the Global Market. Capitalism
was always going to look successful until there were no further markets
left uncapitalised. Only then does it crash in military and environmental
chaos. Proving that it was unrestrainedly Dynamic. Fatal flaw.<<<<<
<<<<<<<<<<<
I can see some value in what you say about capitalism being too unconstrained
at times. Pollution , overfishing, Etc. But you seem to point to something
more fundamental.........
that it is some kind of "Ponzi" scheme destined to collapse. Why?
You also say:
<<<<<<<<<<<<
<The marxist PRESCRIPTION for overthrowing capitalism was
Static-Centralism. Dictatorship of the proletariat was a sad joke. As was
the dictatorship of the market. The Chineese owe THEIR success to
holding the first while abandoning the second.
However, the original marxist ANALYSIS of the defects of capitalism
was right on target.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In MOQ terms, why do you think Static-Centralism is a superior prescription
than Capitalist-Republicanism? Do you see any middle ground? Is China the
model?
Thanks for the discussion!
