>>144796>Sad that capitalists have a strangle hold over the superstructure.The superstructure is an outgrowth of the present economic reality. The only way to effect any lasting change to it is by changing economic reality. Luckily, that constantly changes all on its own.
>worker's power is off the table, and revolution won't occur in your lifetimeI wonder about that. Given how there aren't really any seperate economies left in global capitalism, wars can not serve like the massive reset that the World Wars did. All they can do is to clear away little stumbling blocks to the flow of capital. That means that this on-coming depression is going to be an inescapable normality. They can't detach pieces of the
global economy and fight wars against them; the war in Ukraine is illustrating what kind of economic impact that has. Nor can they derp herp trade wars, as that is effectively nothing more than cutting off your own nose to spite your face.
What does that leave as a safety valve for the economic slump? Nothing. How long can it continue under this growing pressure before the rivets start to burst? At the rate that it is going now, it looks to me like I will indeed live to see it happen.
