THE DEATH OF CAPITALISM.

THE BIRTH OF???

Technofeudalism

- Yanis Varoufakis

An interesting idea for Socialists/Communists to think about as traditional Left/Right distinctions seem to be becoming more irrelevant and meaningless than ever before.

Part of this may be due to what Yanis Varoufakis is calling the "death of Capitalism" and the birth of "Technofeudalism."

Varoufakis, in his new book of the same name, argues that the rise today's tech giants came at a time of a complete lack of regulation and coupled with a corporate culture of greed and complete disregard for human life, encouraged and financed by cheap government capital flowing into a deregulated banking sector that funneled the money straight into the pockets of the same investors of Big Tech, Big Media, Big Pharma and the like. Essentially, these fiefdoms are warping the very modes of production and changing the power dynamics of the previous global capitalist world order.

Combined with a political system sold to the highest bidder, this has resulted in modern tech fiefdoms popping up throughout the world and global economy that are more powerful than the governments they control, that in theory at least, are supposed to control them.

So... we're slipping back into feudalism, and now a famous self-proclaimed Marxist Economist and academic leader has wrote an entire book dedicated to something I've been saying for two years now. And I'm an ordinary worker and two-time college drop out.

Strange world we live in 🤔

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Palestinians have had enough with the endless nakba. At this point, a "two state" solution would be a historical crime.

To my 4'000+ followers, I want to thank everyone for bearing with me as I formulate the system for posting to this blog, such as color coding news/analysis/opinion and organizing sources.

I realize posting is inconsistent at best, I don't always get the chance to post all I would like to. Also, I am currently dealing with an ongoing family emergency, and so I truly appreciate everyone's patience as I work out the kinks in this blog.

I value everyone who follows this blog, including those with diametrically opposing views, as my goal is to expose you to different views, news, and analysis than you might encounter through the usual mainstream outlets, and it is not necessarily my goal to change your views to reflect my own, though that would certainly be a bonus.

Thank you again for bearing with me, I promise you this, when I finally have all this down, get some more help with the blog and things are more settled, you will be rewarded with more content.

Peace ✌️

From @WorkerSolidarityNews

🇷🇺 🏥 🚨 AS A RESULT OF HEAVY WINDS, WOMAN CRUSHED UNDER HEAVY SIGN IN RUSSIA

As a result of a storm that hit the Kuzbass region of Russia in southwestern Siberia, a business sign affixed to a building in Novokuznetsk was torn down and fell on a woman walking down the sidewalk as she exited the building.

The sign instantly crushes her under its enormous weight, however, with the arrival of help from some good samaritans, the woman survived and was transported to hospital.

🇦🇷 Argentina's president-elect is the far-right politician Javier Milei, declared his rival, Sergio Massa, a candidate from the ruling party.

With 86.59% of the votes counted, Milei secures victory with 55.95%.

Milei advocates for economic dollarization, privatization, including in education and healthcare, opposes collaboration with China, Brazil, and Russia in favor of the United States and Israel. Additionally, Milei is against Argentina joining BRICS.

🇷🇺 Russia expects that the new President of Argentina, Milei, will remain committed to multipolarity, which will be facilitated by the country's accession to BRICS, Ambassador Feoktistov said.

According to him, Moscow hopes to strengthen cooperation with Argentina under the new cabinet, is ready to work together regardless of the political situation, will always remain a friend for this country, ready to lend a helping hand, and is confident that this attitude is also inherent in the Argentines.
