——The problem of capitalism is not new. It is essentially a problem of private ownership: time and time again, there is no other way out, either by emigrating the rich or forcing the poor to survive and exile. The history of capitalism is a history of immigration. But today there is no new world on the earth for the poor to emigrate, and today the poor can no longer repeat the immigration path that the poor took in the 17th century. Private ownership will inevitably transform the entire human race into a cancerous parasite. The discovery of the new world is over. Apart from family planning, expansion into the universe is the only way out.
First, capitalism, lack of self-correction kinetic energy
if you ask who my favorite writers, I hesitate to tell you, is Marx. As a socialist theorist and capitalist corrector, Marx has profoundly affected the welfare of capitalist countries for more than 100 years. If you ask me who is the person I admire most? I don't hesitate to tell you that it is Mao Zedong. As a socialist theorist, practitioner and capitalist corrector, Mao Zedong profoundly demonstrated the necessary value of his great cause after his death.
After Mao Zedong's death, not only China, but the entire world has entered an era that can be called the "post-Mao Zedong era".
A capitalism that cannot sense the threat of socialism and correct itself, exists in the post-Mao Zedong era.
As far as the United States is concerned, research has shown that in the decades since Mao Zedong’s death, the income of working-class Americans, after deducting inflation, has actually not grown at all, only declined, and the huge cake of technological dividends in the past few decades has been extremely large. Part of it was seized by the bourgeoisie relying on its capital advantage.
In the past few decades, the degree of differentiation between the rich and the poor in the United States has reached its peak since 1929.
The difference between capitalism and bureaucracy is: one is money governing everything, the other is power governing everything. Within the two, there are some alternative people who do not obey management. Capitalism will give these people a space for survival and development, but bureaucracy obviously rarely gives them. Whether a person agrees with a system has his own interests. For example, Wang Xiaobo, if there is no reform and opening up, there will be no subsequent study abroad and subsequent achievements.
Mao Zedong’s era put all people under the party, in any case, under it. In the post-Mao era, the decision-making power of the upper and lower relations was handed over, and everyone was given the opportunity to compete for this decision-making power. Some people have been liberated. For this group of people, they are sincerely grateful to Deng Xiaoping. In their opinion, no matter how bad capitalism is, he is better than officialism. Political incentives can only inspire a small number of people, but economic incentives. All people, especially those who have the ability and technology but are oppressed and restricted by the bureaucracy. This is the superiority of capitalism. However, more people will not be liberated. They have only changed from being subordinated by political power to subordinate by combining economic power and political power. This group of people will not be grateful to Deng Xiaoping. On the contrary, they are not. Will hate. In the eyes of these people, the top-level design has designed a perfect scam to make some people get rich first because they will lead everyone to get rich. But in the end, it can only be capitalism, because the first rich must obtain the legitimacy of their own wealth.
The argument that getting rich first leads to getting rich can be extended to the entire capitalist world. If it is said that getting rich first leads to getting rich is the Chinese dream of reform and opening up, then getting rich first leads to getting rich, in fact, it is exactly what capitalism says about the American dream, which is permeated with American spirit. However, with the arrival of the later stage of capitalist class consolidation, more and more people are beginning to realize the truth: they are no longer confused by the illusion of personal success of capitalism. Both feudal and socialist societies have similar examples of rising to the sky. , But in the later stage of capitalism, the chance of such an example will be minimal.
Second, the imminent collapse of global capitalism
globalization is a kind of capitalism, is a global extension of bourgeois power. The extreme of its development is the new violent capitalism, the financial plundering capitalism, and the junk capitalism.
New violent capitalism means the privatization of violence. The development of private ownership has transitioned from an era of single-monarchy to an era of multi-monarchy, and from feudal rule to capitalist rule. In terms of separatism in the economic field, separatist industries replaced the land resources of the agricultural economy that were divided by the princes occupying one side. In terms of private armament, the power of the army used by the rulers was gradually replaced by the growing and growing security and mercenaries. The security of capitalism is a tool of governance, privatization of violence.
Financial predatory capitalism means the predatory nature of finance. The capitalist system is the opposite of plundering the rich and helping the poor. Through a continuous process of constant currency devaluation that has proven its regularity in the historical process, those who have never participated in the financial industry have their total wealth continuously transferred to those who participate in the financial industry. If you don't stock or manage money, you have already lost at the starting point and put yourself in a looted situation. But to trade stocks, manage money, and at the same time ensure that your wealth is not robbed by others in the process, you must ensure your own wisdom. Under the conditions of capitalism, it is death to stretch out the head and death to shrink the head. Only wise people do not die. On the surface, precisely because of this, the capitalist system is the best system in human history, because what it ensures is a system that allows truly intelligent elites to enjoy more dividends and even rule. But actually? Greed will distort all of this, and the wealthier people will use the advantages they have already gained to gain more advantages, thereby constantly squeezing the survival interests of the majority of people who are already out of weakness, until the entire game cannot be sustained.
Junk capitalism is an alias for consumer capitalism.
Consumerism brings not only material trash, but also information trash, and even living trash.
Consumer capitalism is just a myth, and it cannot last for a long time. In fact, it has already collapsed. Debt consumption is actually a technical postponement of the capitalist economic crisis, but the essence of the capitalist economic crisis is the gap between the rich and the poor and the gap between the rich and the poor that is always tending to widen. This nature has determined the incurable nature of capitalism. Even if the two groups of rich and poor are separated, there will still be differences between the rich and the poor between the two groups, and history will become endless. cycle. On the one hand, as the share of the interests of the poor who occupy the majority of the population is further compressed, the consumption power that the entire society can provide is simply not enough to maintain economic growth, and can only bring hopeless or even fatal economic depression. On the other hand, hatred is bound to accumulate worldwide. Economic crisis, terrorism, fascism, terrorist fundamentalism and left-wing official ownership are all inevitable products of capitalism. Resentment is not created by the underprivileged from their own psychology, but given by the strong.
The most high-quality resource in the world is not oil or gold, but human resources. And in human resources, there are hierarchical divisions. For example, in China, the most advanced human resources are leadership resources. The care of the leaders is the most high-quality resource with Chinese characteristics. Even if this kind of resource is not necessarily allocated to people who are close to the leader, there is a greater probability that it will be allocated to people who are closer to the leader. Having dinner is a way to get closer to the leader. Those who do not invite their leaders to dinner are giving away such a most high-quality resource. But such a human resource is not actually a human resource in a strict sense under the framework of capitalism. The true concept of human resources must have technical content. However, the technical content of people comes from their professionalism, and in an era of automation, the professionalism that was once proud of it also tragically means substitutability.
The capitalist world is bound to transition to the intellectual world. The knowledge controller will become the true ruler of the future society. Whoever controls all knowledge controls the entire world.
In an era when humans are cheaper than computers, the disadvantage of humans is that both their manufacturing costs and their operating costs are higher than those of machines. With the advent of automation, in the near future, the rich will be able to survive in a world like the Garden of Eden in isolation. They are completely self-sufficient. They will win from a big cake that should belong to all mankind. If you lose most of the share, you can live a rich life regardless of the life and death of the poor.
In just two decades, the world will be full of standard unemployed people who can't find jobs everywhere, and hidden unemployed people who can only find jobs for Weibo income, and their inner resentment.
In the past world, we are all products of this natural world. One day, most people will come to this world and live in this world as the products of others. The ruler of this world will become the God who creates everything and rules everything. Bioengineering technology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and ubiquitous manipulation of public opinion provide possibilities for this. What we will eventually go to is a dark iron age where most people are reduced to the living dead. The channel of capitalism leads there, unless we change course.
3. Capitalism is the totalitarianism of technology
Global capitalism has been brainwashing the global population for hundreds of years, and mankind has been unable to recognize this gradually manifesting fact: the possibility of the final departure between the development of technology and the overall interests of the human body. That is: the development of technology may eventually bring about an anti-human result.
On the surface, capitalism is not a totalitarianism, because it condones the profit-seeking instinct and thus allows and promotes more possibilities for subversion and development. But its totalitarian nature is precisely contained in this kind of subversion and development. We can even give this totalitarian name: technology totalitarian.
Capitalism is anti-god and worships technology. Historically, secular theocracy was once the greatest enemy of capitalism, and faith is inseparable from it. To subvert theocratic power is to subvert the power structure of the old world. The core of feudal power is faith. From the emperor of China to the emperor of Europe, the power he controls is essentially a kind of divine power.
The first technological leap of capitalism before the 19th century defeated theocracy, and the second technological leap after World War II defeated Marxism and trade unions.
Historical research has proved that: in the era when agricultural economy was the mainstay, all the Ming monarchs, including Emperor Qianlong, were keen to increase agricultural output through the introduction and promotion of high-yield crops. No system will reject technology, because technology means an increase in the overall wealth of society that can be shared.
The advantage of capitalism is reflected in the accelerating effect of capital on technological development. This is an advantage in speed, and speed is often the core of the superiority of the system and the key factor in winning. Not only investing capital is investment, but investing capital and investing resources is investment. The core competitiveness of capitalism is its personal responsibility to the holders of private capital who invest in technology. Private ownership is a responsibility system. The old-style public ownership system lacks open and transparent supervision in terms of investment, and corruption is impossible to prevent.
The justice of capitalism can only be embodied in its initial concept. In the early capitalist society, the law of business: Suffering is a blessing. There are only two sources of competitiveness: one is to provide better products and services at the same price or even a lower price; the other is to provide the same products and services at a lower price. Therefore, whether you can afford this loss is the root of the problem, and only technological innovation can bring greater room for cost reduction.
To this day, countless start-up companies still uphold the spirit of early capitalism. For these startups, only two are truly promising. One is the research and development of technology, and the other is the application of technology, which involves promotion and marketing. This is the mission of the company. With the strong support of these companies, technology has developed vigorously. These developing technologies prove that technology is not just technology that can be embodied in material form. Technology that cannot be embodied in a material form but can only exist in a non-material form has also been greatly developed. For example, management can be applied to almost all aspects. Organizations, individual lives and even individual emotions can all be regarded as management objects. Everything can be technical, and it can and should be included in the scope of management. The origin and process of man should be technical.
Winners will sing loudly: The core idea about the world is that new technologies, new ideas and new ideas are the decisive factors that change the current world and create a different future world. Technology disrupts everything. Science and technology determine the destiny of mankind. Technology is nothing but the extension of human beings, human nature, and human nature. Anti-technology is anti-human. It is not that people control technology, but technology controls people.
It seems that everything is so beautiful, the Rand spirit is so great, everything is just as McLuhan said: technology is the most human part. Technology is the only humanity.
However, it is true that business was originally intended to benefit consumers, and politics, which was manipulated in the hands of a few people, was just the opposite. When capitalists began to play politics, when capital colluded with power and the lobbying group controlled by capital manipulated politics, everything began to deteriorate. What we have gradually discovered is that capitalists are just domestic slaves of technology. The capitalist system is nothing but a technologically extinct system. A single-ethnic society is coming soon. There is only one nation in the future society: Robot as a technocrat. The future society has only one religion: technology or a religion that advocates the supremacy of technology. We gradually realized: the potential anti-human nature of capitalism.
Fourth, technology is never free, and it is expensive.
Technology contains the inevitable shame of capitalism!
All kinds of antibiotics and all kinds of purified drugs, as the general public, certainly cannot be produced at will, because there is no equipment, and there is little personal demand, there is no need to manufacture or purchase a small amount of all kinds of antibiotics and all kinds of purified drugs. Those equipment. Precisely because individuals are unable to produce, they have commercial value for manufacturers. Just imagine, if there is a very common material that can replace or even surpass the existing various types of antibiotics and various purified drugs in efficacy, this material can be readily picked up on the earth, then antibiotics and various Will this kind of purified medicine still have commercial value? will not have.
The secret of the business society lies in the fact that simple technical means are continuously complicated through positive, non-positive, and even negative innovations. In the process of complicating technical means, create and secure Firmly grasp the commercial value belonging to a specific commercial entity. That is: to realize the commercial interests of specific commercial entities through the monopoly of knowledge and technology, and obtain information advantages that are beneficial to specific commercial entities through knowledge, technology, complexity, and specialization. Information advantage is one of the core competitiveness. one. The first purpose of efficiency improvement is always the profit of a specific business entity. For example, if a hospital introduces more advanced medical equipment, the first consideration is whether its own profits will increase as a result. It is by no means the benefit of the medical practitioner. If a medical device is beneficial to the medical practitioner, it will Damage the profit of the hospital, so such a device is absolutely impossible to be introduced. The interests of people seeking medical treatment often run counter to those of hospitals. The characteristic of the business society is to commercialize all the services that may be provided to others, and in the process of commercialization, to ensure the interests of a specific business entity, it is necessary to ensure its information advantage.
This secret is profoundly determined: In a commercial society, non-scarce resources will not have commercial value. Diet therapy and many low-cost therapies will not be promoted by hospitals. There are profound social reasons for this. In today's society, it is actually a therapy that everyone can use for themselves, and it will not be promoted. On the contrary, its negative information is widely spread. For example, Chinese medicine, to a certain extent and within a small range of application, is such a therapy that can be used by everyone. Why is it said that Chinese medicine is a therapy that everyone can use for themselves? In fact, it has been like this since ancient times. It's just that many traditional Chinese medicine knowledge was blocked by people in ancient times, and these blocked prescriptions were called ancestral secret recipes. In addition to the so-called ancestral secret recipes, ancient Chinese medicine also has some methods that monopolize the knowledge of Chinese medicine, such as the experience of clinical diagnosis that ordinary people do not have. For example, many ancient Chinese medicine clinics did not implement the separation of medicine. Many doctors in ancient times were monopolists of medical knowledge. They used their monopoly on medical knowledge to commercialize medical knowledge so that they became profiters of the commercial value of medical knowledge.
As far as the financial market is concerned, many financial products do not actually have the value of existence. The reason why they appear, even become popular, and ultimately bring huge social risks, is only because compared with some specific commercial entities, they can bring them. Rolling profits.
In the same way, in today's society, as far as medical treatment is concerned, some conclusively proven successful examples illustrate the situation that many effective treatments often do not require much expense. The reason why this therapy is not promoted is that this therapy does not have commercial value for a specific business entity in charge of the jackal, and does not conform to the business interests of the specific business entity.
The contribution of capital to technology depends on speed. Capitalism is actually an acceleration mechanism for technological development. And its core competitiveness is not the technology itself, but the speed of technological development. In fact, no social system can completely successfully prevent the emergence and application of new technologies. It is only a matter of time. Although many non-capitalist systems do hinder and delay the development of technology, such as all economies that frantically promote real estate as a pillar industry of the country and maintain their huge profits for a long time. According to the research of science and technology historians on the history of human science and technology development for thousands of years, in the same historical period, without this person, others will discover the same new technology. The contribution of capitalism to the world is not technology itself, but speed. The world has never been changed, but the world evolves normally according to the trajectory of cosmology and anthropology. However, speed undoubtedly has its value, and this value is embedded in the escape speed of life. Escape requires not only science itself, but also the speed of scientific development. If the human community succumbed to the end of the solar system, and would not be able to break through the limitations of the solar system, what awaits mankind can only be the destiny of extinction. Similarly, if the human group is suffocated until the day the universe is destroyed, and cannot break through the limitations of the universe, what awaits humanity is the destiny of destruction.
The speed contribution, the profit brought to the technicians and capitalists who are the masters of the new technology, cut a piece far exceeding its due share of all the dividends that the new technology should have brought to all mankind. Big cake.
At this stage, capitalism has transitioned from the stage of glorious well-intentioned discovery and commercial value creation to the stage of shameful and malicious preemptive discovery, creation and monopoly of commercial value. This is the inevitable result of the development of capitalism. At this stage, the capitalist system has allowed the contributors of new technologies to transcend and excessively obtain a large share that did not belong to them. They have stolen more cakes in addition to their own cakes. So that all mankind cannot share more technological dividends as they should.
Transgenic technology is a typical example. Relying on primitive agricultural species and agricultural species improved by non-transgenic technology, humans can live very well. Why use transgenic technology to create new agricultural species to replace primitive agricultural species and agricultural species improved by non-transgenic technology What? Its purpose is to create commercial value that only belongs to the interest group of genetically modified technology. With the commercial promotion of agricultural species improvement technology and the commercial promotion of genetically modified species in this world, this world will no longer have natural-given seeds, but artificial seeds. The days of no longer paying for seeds will be completely a thing of the past. , As the days when you no longer pay for air and water. Different from the previous traditional agricultural species improvement technology, the threat posed by genetically modified technology to human survival is huge, devastating, and unpredictable. So, why is the threat posed by genetically modified technology to human survival is huge, devastating, and impossible to predict accurately, while turning a blind eye to many scientific research results that have proved the terrible harm of genetically modified technology? Under the circumstances, genetically modified technology is still widely commercialized? It is because of its shameful malicious commercial value. In the historical process that is happening now, living resources, such as natural species and their seeds, are being privatized through genetic modification technology. Through genetically modified technology, all popular agricultural species will be added to a technical component protected by international intellectual property laws, and people and their generations must pay for this newly added technical component. The beneficiary of this payment is the genetically modified interest group.
Today, in this world, in many countries, various interest groups rule under the guise of providing administrative or commercial public services under the guise of government or more abominable foundations, limited liability companies, and other powerful organizations as agents. While enslaving people and grabbing huge private wealth, people are still praising them and yearning for their so-called success. But what wise people know is that this is not the life that humans should have. They can truly understand Madame Curie who refused to apply for a patent when he discovered radium. Let me ask: In today's world, among those complacent winners in the Internet field, who has contributed to the development of the human Internet that is comparable to John von Neumann and Alan M. Turing? It is often the creations, discoveries, and services that people can contribute to the world that arouse people’s greed and selfish desires. Those laws and regulations marked in plain text or in the form of secretly recognized unspoken rules are fixed in the interest share, which will eventually Destroy the world.
Privatization in many ways is destroying the world. Privatization of public legal power, privatization of public military power, privatization of public administrative power, privatization of public discourse power, privatization of public inanimate resources, privatization of public living resources, privatization of public currency, public Privatization of natural sciences, technology and social sciences. Public resources include not only inanimate resources, but also animate resources. Inanimate resources, such as land and minerals, have been privatized, and water and air are being privatized.
Technology itself will form a social paradox. For example, air is originally difficult to commercialize. The only possibility for commercialization is the commercialization of household air purification equipment after air pollution. There is also drinking water, which was originally difficult to commercialize. The only possibility for its commercialization is the commercialization of water purification equipment after the original free clean drinking water is contaminated. However, air pollution and water pollution, the source of such consequences, are technological capitalism and consumer capitalism.
The privatization of water resources is the result of a collusion between the government and capital, the collusion of government and business, the collusion of financial power, and the inevitable result of environmental pollution. Capitalists, of course, could not commercialize water resources at the beginning, because safe drinking water resources were not scarce resources at the beginning, but capitalists polluted the earth's environment through production and sales of products, not only turning safe drinking water resources into scarce resources, It is even turning good air into a scarce resource. When the air is severely polluted, the rich can buy expensive air filtration household equipment or other high-tech equipment to improve the quality of life, but what about the poor?
The hegemony of knowledge is actually the most terrible and terrifying. In fact, capitalist society lacks an application mechanism for the benefit of scientific research results. The purpose of commercialization mechanism is only to create profits for capital. Capitalism uses capital to control the output of knowledge, occupying knowledge through capital channels, and depriving the entire mankind of the free benefit of existing science and technology. Capitalism establishes the rules and order of a new capitalist system through intellectual hegemony. Knowledge is the driving force behind the creation of wealth and the development of productive forces. The truth that can be realized from this angle is that the purpose of capitalism to create wealth and develop productive forces is only occupied by a few people. At that time, due to the secrecy of the types of knowledge that Rothschild possessed, there was no need to promote commercial applications and protect them under the rule of law. But then finally an international system was born, privatizing commercialized knowledge with the help of international rule of law, and there appeared Madame Curie, a great intellectual who refused to go with him. The system of prophets and rule of law determines the social hierarchy created and maintained by intellectual hegemony. The crime of committing crimes jointly by the high-tech achievements of the capitalist world and the legalized means of governance is a hundred times more cruel than murder.
Because we can't be stupid enough to be anti-science and anti-technology, we should strongly oppose the commercialization and application of genetically modified technology under the current circumstances and when the scientific research results prove that it is not yet mature. It is precisely because we cannot be stupid enough to be anti-science and anti-technology, so we should, under the current circumstances, prove the limitations and huge social risks of western medicine antibiotic treatment for scientific research results, in the case of bird flu, swine flu In the case of a huge epidemic and great threat, we strongly advocate and promote the popularization, application and development of Chinese medicine. It should be realized that the decline of Chinese medicine and the promotion and application of genetically modified technology are a shame to society and the country.
People who bear the humiliation but live up to their weight will not be worthy of survival. This is a world where the weak eat the strong. We will finally come to a world in which the rich give birth to the poor, and the profitable give birth to death. In this world, people without money will not be able to enjoy the air, water, and food needed for healthy survival. People in this world, even in further brainwashing, do not believe that people in the past drank free clean water and breathed free safe and even healthy and fresh air. Think about such a world, right? How terrible! Therefore, the world will either continue to destroy itself along the evil trajectory of a very small number of people realizing greed and desire, or it will be reversed, and under the conscious efforts of most people, it will move towards a completely different and bright future. I would rather this world move towards a completely different bright future, because I am not one of the very few people, and my descendants cannot be sure that all generations will be among the very few people.
