I call it “end-stage capitalism” because, one way or another, it’s going to end. The more pertinent question is whether or not it will take us along with it. And that very much depends on how it ends.

@aral our Blip, our “self-terminating experiment with industrialism” https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/111867603435972978 @aral I came across that book via these figures quoted by Richard Heinberg of @postcarboninstitute @aral Naomi Klein calls this stage "necro-techno capitalism", for obvious reasons. Will it take us with it, dying? Probably not. I believe that on the very brink of the final collapse, people (some, not all) will revolt. It will be painful, but I think some of us will survive and eat the rich. @aral I am not so sure capitalism is going to end soon. A more interesting topic to me is what comes after. Can we be sure it will be better. |
@aral I would say be prepared. But I share this point of view. And I am preparing.
