I would think Destiny’s descent into frothing genocide denial is the ultimate affirmation of the “scratch a liberal” saying but I’m not sure he was ever scratched in the first place.

lmao this is the guy that they felt couldn’t be allowed near the presidency at all costs. It’s like the ultimate indictment of our diseased system that this absolute spineless wet noodle of a politician, who refuses to do more than meekly ask the machine to maybe be just a tiny bit less murderous and then backs down the instant he gets any push back, was who the ruling class considered so extreme and intolerable to their interests that they needed to pull out every stop to deny him power

No group of capitalists have ever fucked around when it comes to extracting maximum value, but real estate capital seems more rabid than most especially in recent times. I guess this is one continued symptom of the falling rate of profit on actual production and the corresponding rise of finance capital. Making and selling products and services to us that we can have full personal ownership of is simply no longer profitable enough; instead, absolutely everything must be financialized, rented and leased rather than owned outright, for the sake of drawing continuous profit. The obvious big initial target of this transformation is housing (as parasitic rent seeking has of course always been a core tenant of capitalist accumulation) but it’s clearly expanding into other areas of life too. Oddly enough this can be thought of in a way as a process of “de-commodification” (in the sense that commodities can no longer be directly purchased, but must be acquired indirectly via various convoluted financial instruments) while also at the same time as expanded commodification (in that the process is seeking innovative ways to capitalize on and commidify our lives directly, to make human beings and their lives the product itself).
Strap in folks, the end of history is only going to get more wild from here on out. I believe a wise man once said “History 1 is dying and History 2 struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters”
LaRouche would drop the Luxemburgism (while still using her theories of crisis to the end) and focus on his pro-industrial corporatism, members of his organization becoming “patriots” instead of “comrades.”
Hm I feel like I’ve seen other “leftist” groups adopting this same label today to push a pro industrial capitalist line of thinking :thinking-about-it:
