Proof that capitalism without competition from socialism will kill us all an the planet too

Fukyama, in his book, The End of History also celebrated the end of socialism and all its features.

He made a terrible mistake.

He did not forecast an end of history, he forecast a reversal of history to unbridled banditry, capitalism and strength without restraints, over fragility, science and law.

Humanity was here before....

.....when capitalists, the wealthy and , and the strong routinely raped the world, its environments, its people, its ecological systems and especially its political balances.

Times of lawlessness, slavery, oppression, rage, rape, dishonesty, and hatred, cults, and false narratives, are as bad, or worse than at any time in recorded history....

American dominance of the planet doesn't threaten the planet and its systems that sustain life, America is systematically destroying all of them, in order to sustain kakocracies and designated illegal and criminal actions around the world, starting with its own country.

No country on earth is better off with American dominance.

No planetary life sustaining system has not been degraded to a level that can recover..... unless America's dominance is destroyed first.

It is obviously that bad..... and in our face.....

By the way apropos this article, there is a news story in Reuters that people should read:

Drone crashes and severed fingers at a $13 billion Silicon Valley military startup

By David Jeans, June 5, 2026

That pretty much is a netshell of the kind of madness going on. The oligarchs controlling government are sucking money out of it through a spigot, with the compliance of their tools placed in government, in the name of war-war-war, and the death and destruction products that the govt is paying dearly for dont even function properly.

How on earth is this a viable set of goals and processes on which to build an economy and society?

Why can't 'we', sorry 'our' gov't threaten to sue Israel & USA for financial losses as a direct consequence of their 'illegal' military action?

The worship of Mammon, and belief in some quasi godkin, the free market, has made losers of us all. The implosion is just getting started.

Since the Dem party went neolib, same as similar Anglophoney parties, they are doing all they can for corporate economics. Like NAFTA, the WTO, and deliberately outsourcing mfg thus deeply injuring the majority working class. In the U.S. the Ds also repealed New Deal financial regs which helped cause the GFC. Despite the deep harm, the regs were not revived. Well, who rules, so whose rules?

"Financialization" is extraction from what is known as the real economy. It's parasitical on both workers and companies producing physically real goods and services. Keep in mind stock mkts, unless an IPO, aren't about investing in a company. They're trading; financial speculation, gambling for rich boys. The money generated doesn't go to the company of origin any more than it does when buying a used car. These few, the stockholders, count when justifying the short term actions of corporations and the rest of us, the real producers, don't. In the U.S. the money for stock buybacks comes from mass layoffs. Thereby inflating stock worth and benefitting only CEOs who have this as part of their already outsized compensation along with their Wall St. (and City of London) bankster cronies.

The manipulators are running out of workers with good wages and healthy ecosystems from which to extract profits. But in the short term, with the collusion of their govt allies, wars are highly profitable. In the long run? That's why they're "investing" in megayachts and private islands. After the econ & ecol collapse they figure the survivors will be desperate enough to become neo-serfs for their neo-fiefdoms.

Not to mention AI......which will allow them to control what gets considered 'thought', and do surveillance on the minority of us who actually know how to think and the limits of data.

Fully described in Yanis Varoufakis's 2023 book /Technofeudalism./ Wherein he describes their many low paid employees as 'technoproles' and close to entire rest of the world as 'technoserfs' who provide for free the endless tons of data by which the techno lords reap their billions.

The classic, and perennial play-book ran so many times on the Common Man : bleed you as slowly as possible, and take all your shit in the process : Blut-Geld. And, yes, as the common Man is finally awakening to whom these "shadowy" entities Truly are, they're becoming nervous.

It's almost a "natural", self-recycling ecosystem that has endured for millennia, far beyond known memory (largely stolen, destroyed, re-written and falsified so many times it's almost unknowable).

It's a steady, incremental Process, taken in nibbles at a time ; slowly, generationally, without any more than an occasional bump in the path , quickly swept from the path and buried under falsehoods-and they *know* that we *know* them now ; therefore, the entire annihilation of all of it, them in their "bolt-holes", deep underground and in low-earth orbit, waiting til the dust settles-maybe a century or two, who cares? Slow and steady patience, awaiting the time to re-emerge as the "gods" and masters of the unknowing and beastly survivors' descendants, to begin the cycle for the thousandth time.

An endless cycle that Common Man is trapped in, yet again...until Common Man awakens and does what must ultimately be done-FINALLY!-and forever, this time around : vaporize them, all of them..."Down to the last frozen embryo"!!

Rid Our World of these "alien" Predators!

Thank you, Jonathan, you inspired me, and I appreciate it very much...keep up the Great Work, Mate!

This sounds a bit like a conspiracy fiction aka Star Wars from a version of reality that imagines an immortal Evil, forever feasting on human flesh.

I think the truth is a bit more prosaic. We are all implicated in a culture based on colonialism, imperialism, war and the enslavement/theft of 'the others' resources and wealth.

We all have to choose new pathways.......find each other, and imagine a world that is sustainable, equalitarian, anti-racist and fully human. Already, in many places, world domination and war is being challenged........fossil fuels/fools being seen as the extinction technologies they are.........and realignments with the natural world happening.

We have to stop imagining the musks of the world as super powerful.......find ways to collaborate and support alternatives wherever they appear.

Death cults aren't that powerful. They are just very scary.

I love your articles… always sharp as a knife, cutting through the surface to dive into the profound ugliness of our “civilised” world. Keep up the very good work 💪

Thank you for these stark truths and the overriding message, Jonathan, that these addicts cannot last. Their clock is ticking and the world is waking up. I love the passion and determination weaving through this presentation! There are other forces operating and they wil not "win. " In another time and place, in reality, that winning, based upon greed, rape and plunder and delusion, could only be seen as losing.

We resign from their stupid fantasies of world domination.....invest in a living world. There are many ways to join the resistance.......if we all choose one or two, we can't help but turn the tide.

I don't agree with Lynne, although it would be nice to hear Jonathan read it. The speaker was clear and easy to hear. It kept me interested.

I love your writing Jonatan. Thank you.

The overly dramatic reading was ghastly and intolerable! Love your work but not the presentation!! Please read it yourself or just a readable version.
