Singularly Marx has predicted the continual, worsening crises within the economic system. In every boom time the right (pretty much covers both political parties in the US and other esp. 'western democracies') appear to forget all about crises, implying that this state of affairs is the norm in a capitalist world. When reminded otherwise they reply in terms of whiners or loooosers.
And when each (worsening) meltdown occurs they have a different reason to blame it on. The this-bubble, or that-bubble.
Marx gave the main reason as the continual cheapening of commodities needed to make (the same) profit. About 150 years ago more than 50 skilled detail workmen were needed to make a friggin' needle. Now the things are spit out by machines (er probably).
Probably back then, a good profit could be made producing a few needles a day. Today they might make thousands, but the (adjusted) profit may not be so different than back then. Why not thousands of times greater profit?
An' its not just needles. Its every commodity, to some degree or other.
If Marx was correct then this can't be fixed, which means your survival depends on finding a working alternative. Fascism doesn't count cos' it is capitalist which only leaves one thing.
Repeat after me-
'Better Red Than Dead ...'
Imagine a white person saying that! Is that racist! Hell yes.. - Hatebiggot
Hell no. You right-wing intelekuals always get that bit wrong. Racism has to be seen in context of the society it occurs in. Just as a concentration camp inmate would not be racist for shouting 'you white aryan pig' at a nazi, neither is it if a non-white called you a stupid thick inbred redneck. Cos' you see, my fine white friend, you can take the racism out of society (theoretically anyway - thanks to K. Marx) but you can't take the society out of racism.
