I’ve seen a few users here say something about how the stripping of the copperwiring of the US state by the US state is a conscious decision, made to develop a new economic stage. I think they’re wrong.
That’s what would’ve happened if Kamala got into office, maybe. What’s happening here is that Elon Musk is near the levers of power and Trump likes to golf. “Don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence” is a bullshit redditism, but with Elon there’s something to it. Don’t attribute to strategy what can be explained by dipshittery.
The guy took over a massive social media site, one of the main components of manufacturing consent in the modern era and all he could do was make the public hate him.
What you’re seeing is the Liz Truss of the USA. Javier Milei of the USA. They’re not always masterminds, sometimes they’re just stupid. The current generation of rulers are people who have drunk the kool-aid of capitalist propaganda. They actually think money = merit and that socialism is when the government does stuff
Shit it’s worse than milei. At least with him one could say Argentina’s economy has been in dire straits and he’s trying something different and he got some line goes up wins like the budget surplus. Now obviously everything else is gone to shit.
With elon? You got virtually no reason to be doing this unless you’re actively trying to sabotage the economy
Anyone who doubts that the capitalists could be this stupid, just look at the late Qing dynasty for comparison.
Hundreds of years of monarchist rule under the dynasty, thousands of years of feudalism, and historically one of the strongest powers inevitably existence collapsed because the late stage rulers lacked the ability to reform their way out of long term contradictions.
