Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Money is power.
It's a very complicated issue. The Capitalist class does deliverer Capitalist development. But at the same time it immediately captures most of the value that it delivers leaving a system of servitude called employment... and systems which are homogenous but yet are functional in the form that is found acceptable to its logic of production and consumption through efficiency.
On the other hand the Capitalist class because it has money and therefore power, at times acts in corrupt ways destroying the environment, taking away people's rights, making things unnecessarily hard.
Given its fight with Communism, it was not as if it played it cool, sitting back and watching and saying, maybe Communism can do certain things better.
Instead it immediately went to war demonizing and fighting it as much as it could.
It seems as if the Capitalist class can only be subdued when it feels that its own game is over. And it seems like we have to let it do just that.
People are greedy and have many social problems. This was one way of ordering them. There are a million other ways of ordering them. Whose time will soon come.
Just sit back and watch the show.
Paul is fan screaming for the home team, when the game is over and they've won. But soon there will be no more games. Their time has come and gone.
