The communists of today argue in semi well read books that capitalism is a system designed to fail…and hence the term creative destruction will end in destruction…
and they also argue the communism that was practiced wasn’t the “real communism” and that’s why their were so many atrocities…so weed need to keep “failing better” which is another way of saying creative destruction.
and the liberals argue capitalism only needs to be refined to feed the poor, stop the ecological degradation…and restore literature.
Capitalism is based on constantly changing the mode of production…this is known to you people as improvement…material progress will not satisfy a hungry inner world…the poetic hunger looms…says he with a finger up his nose.
Religion attempts to answer existential angst and is still popular.
Capitalisms Philosophy
greed is good
no provocative weakness
a billion private stories
progress is good
even if its bad.
there is no literature.
Pending Doom
ecological: the planet can know longer sustain us… the answer: recycle, eat organic, drink water, meditate and leave a small footprint…
bioenergetics: man merges with machine and thus changes human nature…the answer will be sorted out by the ethics committee who are professors at corporate run universities
intellectual property rights…the answer will be sorted out by the lawyers whose reputation as outstanding citizens has been well earned…they exploit the laws for their own material gain which is contrary to the laws being good for the people…
Not to worry as you can see, you are doing what you can in the first instance and the other two aren’t even on our radar.
We should be fine…
Agency
as more walls are built, gated communities, Palestine Freedom wall etc. and more slums are created in capitalisms wake will there be enough unrest for a revolution…
Marx argued the proletariat would get worse and worse off and eventually riot…it has happened a few times but it did not end well…the Gulags of Russia are an example…
Communism or capitalism
in capitalism there in no future
that is of any interest to a poet or a philosopher
at least the idea of a collective takes some optimism…
anarchy is less well known alternative
with an impressive history
or so I've been told.
To My Imaginary Audience
I am not going to be using my computer for the next few days. My next scheduled blog will be an up date of poems for the shaw on Thursday.
Time to get Serious
C’mon hear the noise…girls rock your boys…we’ll get high! high! high!
or so the old rock song goes
