May I invite your attention to a particularly vexing thread in GD, please?

[TBF]

7. Yeah I posted in that ridiculous thread.

I told them they are going to be taxed and like it - or they are going to suffer the consequences. And then Kentuckian posted this (which is awesome):

63. I think it is already too late for that too or will be by the time the adjustments

could be implemented and optimized (if such ever happened but that is a different story), the need for labor diminishes, in fifty years or less there won't be enough to spread around to less than half of the possible labor force. I'm thinking 30% with some solid redundancy and what there will be to do will be complicated.

The current system isn't capable of distributing resources allowing for fairly broad prosperity and eventually conditions will not allow it to distribute them almost at all no matter how regulated, the flaw is fundamental and as such cannot be danced around.

Now, don't get me wrong. We damn well should do exactly as you prescribed but it is a bridge not a destination.

I suspect the truly major players can see or pay people who can see the end of the road, hence the ca$h out of thin air leverage to corner all the real value and then when the music stops pay half of us to murder the other half to make sure they get to plop down in that last chair.

He's correct that we are at end game of capitalism - at least in this country. If I remember correctly Imperialism by Lenin talks about this: http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/
