I got a posting about airline addons to baggage fees and insights of the deteroration of capitalism seem to be coming true in front of my eyes
In the sixties after I left the thrall of International Socialism behind I listened to varying degrees of anarchism and allied myself with the syndicalists but left the door to a more practical approach to economics. My then wife set me looking at industrial democracy in general and after a short time I came into contact with the Internationale Situationist, I liked Debord's etal's stand and labored though their texts which were as understandable as any action filled book by George Lukas.
Where they were going was that the great powers were going destroy one another in the cold war push. I thought that capitalism might fail because of it's criminal nature. I was wrong the USSR was a more efficient kleptocracy than the West and besides by then the Chinese were beginning to throw in their expertise in banking on the capitalist side.
Capitalism survived because it absorbs corruption, Marx was a Utopian economically capitalism is utilitarian morally. There is the rub that modern day international capitalism was founded by total criminals. Meyer Landsky was a crook, the Rockefellers crooks, Bush Boys crooks and the Sherpa s: Skinner, the whole Chicago School crooks.
The last honest capitalistic thinking was done in the nineteen twenties by the scientific capitalists who were attempting to answer Marxist -Leninism and National Socialism. Since then we have stepped backwards first with objectivism (libertarian capitalism) Then with faith in giant sink holes of stolen money. We find the toll gate appearing everywhere with the thug to take the money. We find him in education, travel, work even parking the car. Crossing the street becomes a taxable event. Look at the land rush to tax smoking weed.
The socology of these events becaomes interesting. Heroes are Robin Hood, Kydd, Duritti, Sparticus followed by Ball and the Diggers. All roads lead to revolt.
