U.S. Corporate Capitalism Will Almost Certainly Attempt To Usher In A Virulent Form Of Socialism

In my next post, I’m going to follow up on the last post. Specifically, magical thinking and the professional class in corporate capitalism.  It’s a follow-up to a post from many years ago with more detail on the insidiousness we see unfolding in our world over the last half century or so.  But, before I do so, I want to put a place marker on here that I will return to within the next handful of posts. I’m doing so because I want any readers to be watching for dynamics surrounding the title of this post as I will be.

From my analysis over the years, I expect corporate capitalism to attempt to usher in the next step in what I view as America’s growing soft totalitarianism.  What do I mean by that? I expect corporation capitalism in concert with both political parties to attempt to usher in a very insidious and virulent form of socialism to save itself.  I can see the libertarians and conservatives who view corporate capitalism and the free markets as synonymous with democracy.  But, this too is magical thinking that I will continue to smash in future posts.  That includes very clear mathematical and social dynamics that refute this without question.  This type of thinking has absolutely no basis in any kind of reality.  It’s purely based on propaganda-created beliefs.

The United States as any form of constitutional republic, democracy or nation of laws based on natural or inalienable rights is as close to death as it can get without actually being dead. And, we are here not because of Marxism or communism or Black Lives Matter or other nonsensical bullshit.  We are here because the United States is a corporate plantation that has devoured democracy and our government. That includes our government and both political parties. I’ve noted this day was coming for a long time on here and we are now in very, very dangerous times.  The greatest danger on our nation is not the far left or the far right but the political middle.  Those who have been stupefied by the media, corporations and political parties. Those who lack the courage to dissent.  Or, have become domesticated by corporations. 

Our nation is going to become more and more divided not by left or right divisive manipulation of the elite establishment. But, rather think in terms of the Soviet Union or our pre-Revolutionary times.  It will become more divided by the mass of people who have become dehumanized zombies, supporting the system out of fear or self-interest without any critical thought and dissidents who recognize the outright evil of the corporate state as a control system.

Without going into detail in this post, what I am stating is far from radical as I’ll note in the following handful of paragraphs. 

Who makes most of the corporate items you consume in the United States and has for a long time? Authoritarian nations.  This includes communist China, communist Vietnam, Authoritarian Saudi Arabia, the failed authoritarian state of Mexico (created and propped up by the United States) and on and on and on.  There’s a reason for that as noted on here in prior posts. In fact, it’s the reason why our founders chucked the Articles of Confederation and adopted the Constitution with a powerful federalist government. Because financiers, corporations and the like need an all-powerful federal authority to enforce their tyranny on the people. Otherwise, who would agree to live in economic chains? 

I’ve noted on here repeatedly that corporate capitalism is authoritarian and has an illustrious history of supporting said policies.  The United States had the most brutal and bloodiest corporate labor wars, with tens of thousands of walkouts, strikes and outright armed battles resulting in murders and mayhem with corporate stooges aligned with the U.S. law enforcement.  That lasted eighty years leading into World War II where in 1937 citizens came as close to outright revolution as they had since 1776.  U.S. corporations most specifically played a very large role in the rise of Adolph Hitler and building out the Nazi war state. Winston Churchill and the British royal family heaped praises on corporate fascism and Adolph Hitler as late as 1938.  Smedley Butler testified before the Congress that U.S. corporations approached him to overthrow the U.S. government to replace it with a fascist corporate leader.  American capitalists should have been prosecuted after World War II for playing a major role in murdering fifty million people. Yet, the world was silent.  There is also ample evidence that Wall Street funded the second Russian revolt in 1917 to overturn what would have possibly been a fledgling democracy and inserted Lenin and his communist stooges.  Lenin lived in New York and there is ample evidence he raised funds from American capitalists. And, there is ample evidence that American corporations helped the communists restart the Russian economy and provided them ample technology.  Just like they are doing in China today. I could go on and on but today the U.S. government wages war on second and third world countries where citizens attempt to vote in democratic governments. The intent is to ensure authoritarian governments propped up by the U.S. and who are pliant to U.S. corporate interests are installed.

There ain’t jack shit that’s democratic about corporate capitalism.

I’ll soon be posting how I expect this will unfold based in future posts. But, we should watch what Republican and Democrats agree upon as the basis for this to unfold.  Never forget, the establishment hated Trump not because he tried to drain the swamp. They hated him because he exposed how ugly the U.S. corporate state actually is.  Nancy Pelosi and Democrats voted to support all of Trump’s policies. There’s no discernable difference in economic ideology. The only differences, however minute, exist in the levels of  corporate capture extremism between individual Republicans and Democrats.
