The privatization/defunding/enshittification of public services in favor of alternatively paying directly to large corporations, typically offering less value, will eventually lead to the workforce not being able to complete globally. You'd think that would be enough for them to be smart enough not to do that, but instead, they will just outsource the jobs to elsewhere.

Imperialism in action, which is also why Imperialism defeats itself.

Even anti-Soviet people admit that Soviet education was great. Everyone you meet from the USSR is an engineer or something.

Not contradicting, trying to learn here. How is it a feature of capitalism, and not fascism? Or are the two similar enough they can effectively be put in the same group?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Fascism is Capitalism in decline. They aren't distinct systems, but the same one meshed.

[-] mrcleanup@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago

Eh .. capitalism is an economic model, fascism is political. One may enable or encourage the other, but I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say they are the same.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

What causes fascism to rise or fall? Whose interests does it serve? The economy is political, politics are economic in nature, you cannot divorce the two.

That's like saying that since you never see deer ticks except with deer, they are the same animal as the deer. Just because things commonly appear together does not mean they are the same.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

No, it isn't. The economy forms the Base, while politics forms the Superstructure. You cannot have one without the other, and they are tangled.

[-] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks for sharing that picture of two different things in your attempt to argue that they are one thing.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

They aren't the same, but are never found without each other.

[-] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That... Is a completely different argument.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It's one and the same.

They aren't distinct systems, but the same one meshed.

And

They aren't the same, but are never found without each other.

Are not equal statements.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Meshed, as in together form an overall system, 2 aspects of it.
