Social Justice For 100 years the bolsheviks and then the social anarchy movement have been predicting the end of the capitalist World.

Around the middle of the year 1990 a good family friend of my parents started talking to us and his wife and kids about the inadequacies of the western capitalist system and how the wealthy elites were exploiting the lower classes.

Basically philosophy of the social anarchy movement. Our family friend had been through a series of unfortunate events typical of early nineties Melbourne Australia where families lost their Life savings from the collopse of a credit union called pyramid building society and then the working father's were made redundant from the public service.

This poor guy on the verge of losing his house rang a random number he saw on a poster advertising the social anarchy movement. He started attending small gatherings at a disused warehouse. Aside from socialist type discussions occurring the other main purpose of these meetings were to facilitate the sale of marijuana between comrades.

Anyone familiar with the social anarchist movement who predicted a recession so damaging that the collopse of the global economy was inevitable. The anarchist movement believed that eventually capitalism was doomed to self-destruct and the end of the world as we know it would be caused by a Worldwide virus outbreak that lead to the breakdown of law and order and the 1 percent of the population who controlled the majority of the world's wealth would lose their grip on power.
The anarchists were related to the bolsheviks and the end of the capitalist system was predicted to happen in stages. First the health care systems would be crippled then simultaneously mass unemployment followed by the failing of the world's banking industry. Once money had no more value and essential services stopped riots would breakout and you can Imagine the rest.
All while the deadly pandemic kills most of the population. All the social unrest happens as a result of a deadly virus which members of the social anarchy movement predicted occuring in 2020.
A core belief of the anarchists is that the pandemic will come to an end and all the young people who survived will rebuild a new society, a fairer society based on bolshevik inspired philosophy.

Sounds crazy huh. But I do remember my family friend talking of the year 2020.

Apparently there's some kind of secret belief only those trusted by members of the social anarchy movement are enlightened with.

Those who have seen the movie "The East" will be familiar with anti establishment anti capitalist activists.

Some say that the bolsheviks swore an oath to plot the demise of the Western capitalist system. The anarchy movement swore the same oath. It's important to remember that despite China being under communist party control the elite of mainland China a.k.a the big 5 families of China were instrumental in getting the whole of China's population and economy controlled by a single all powerful totalitarian regime designed not to create a socialist republic where everyone is equal but to best serve the interests of the Chinese elite.

To the anarchists both the democratic United States and totalitarian regime of the Chinese communist party are as courrpt as each other.

Both governments need to be destroyed and that's where the research laboratories of China come into it. More on that later.

Apparently not all social anarchist movement devotees are dope smoking occupy wall street activists, believe it or not members of the far left are successful in many walks of life from business to politics and the union movement as well as lawyers judges and academics who in anticipation of 2020 have built compounds in remote areas to house themselves and their families to wait out the collopse of modern civilization.

Funny how many wealthy people have homes in the country.

I personally doubt that capitalism is 6-12 months away from Armageddon. I have faith in the current system overcoming the Covid19 problem.

But you gotta admit we are living in unprecedented times. Imagine if the corona virus was man made in a secret Chinese communist party research laboratory that was set up and intended to study viruses and develop vaccines but a sleeper cell of social anarchists scientists have inflitrated the research laboratory and injected the virus to start the spread of the corona virus outside the research laboratory.

After all chances are the social anarchy movement scientists would be aged in their 20s or 30s so it wouldn't kill them but it would spread person to person.

Who is to say that 1919s Spanish flu wasn't man made by bolshevik inspired scientists

Even if the anarchists are correct, how are they going to coordinate the building of the ideal post-capitalist society? Surely there nooses to be come kind of coordination system for such a large task. Given the unfamiliarity most people have with such a system, there will probably need to be some kind of enforcement system to keep capitalist counter-revolutionaries at bay. Put that way, it doesn’t look that different to every failed Marxist regime we’ve had so far? An elite politburo protected by a police state.

A Bolshevik can join a union and an anarchist can join a co-op.

Is what we have now really capitalism, anyway? Markets are heavily manipulated by central banks, private equity, and financial engineering.

How many people do you know that actively participate in the markets anyway? Most people are stuck in the routine of exchanging labour for income and their greatest financial achievement is qualifying for a mortgage.

That's not the way it has to be but, for most people, that's just the way it seems to be.

The Bolshevik paradise ends in the same or worse oppression as the capitalist system it replaces. Though in Russia, it replaced feudalism which is something else entirely.

Cute on paper, shit in practice.

Also, China is a mess of oligarchical state fascism....Bolshevik paradise gone to the extreme....complete with concentration camps in Xinjiang! Fucking bonus!

Is what we have now really capitalism, anyway? Markets are heavily manipulated by central banks, private equity, and financial engineering.

Not to mention the command economy policies we see everywhere. From all manner of state subsidy, bailouts, resource extraction quotas, etc.

Humanity is past the whole communist vs capitalist dichotomy and has been for some time.

Sounds crazy huh.

Yup, sure does!

Anarchists can't build a society because they'd end up creating that which they originally fought against. In fact, the stronger the ideological convictions of these people, the more likely they would be to set up an oppressive state apparatus to protect their machinations and creation from any who didn't see things their way. It becomes a perverted elitist mess. Sound familiar?

While Marx himself never used the term late stage capitalism, he did describe what the final stages of capitalism would look like. In volume three of Das Kapital, Marx described how in capitalism’s last stage, market competition would decline as capital centralized in fewer hands. Marxist economists, such as Micha? Kalecki, believed that capitalism was inherently monopolistic and that its fate was to move towards a system that would eventually devour itself.

The term “Late Capitalism” can be traced back to Marxist economist Werner Sombart’s work Der moderne Kapitalismus, published in the early 1900s. In this work, Sombart explains that Capitalism developed in three stages: early (pre-industrial revolution), high (the industrial revolution), and late stage capitalism (World War I and beyond).

We've been in "late stage capitalism" for over 100 years now. Apparently Marx didn't count on the Sherman Antitrust Act.
