There were many roads of western capitalism. The mainstream evolved from Breton Woods to Washington Consensus to the current deadly clash of tech finance surveillance US model against all other mostly European models free at the table banquet of grab. Some small not wanted bends like Roosevelt New Deal or the infamous New Green Deal or some stupid green transitions were deviations from these Satanic planners route.
Essentially, as Witchdoctor wrote in this blog from Day 1, it is the process of SIPHONING all what cane be siphoned into a new system of more and more restricted control of the few. The Capitalism by its own structure is a model of sucking up, of VACUUM CLEANING EVERYTHING which can be vacuum cleaned by the code – coding of Capital by the common law or by a simple grab by any means. It is the Great Taking in process which in turn makes the new Capital Formation in even less hands..
THE ONLY THING , when thinking of what is currently going on is to forget the so called soft power- the arguments which loosely cover the new model, the whole day to day show of the best clown which has the silly actors role to push this internal war between western capitalist models as a simple personal show of himself and his not elected pals and relatives and golfers acting as front men for the media.. That includes all the clownish stances, the tiktok sitcom of the crude, the prosperity gospel, the whole cultural Kkklan mumbo jumbo, the anger of the illiterate , these are all just a smokescreen of the clash of the morphing of the US Capitalism. The great flow underneath was already trickling down into neoliberal model to techno feudal to the real goal of the same morphing capitalist class; take OVER the last non private- public- goods left afloat AND SEIZE SLOWLY ALL SMALL PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF ANYTHING. In this sense the Front Golfers of these new morphing of the US capitalism have to peddle sentences ,like Europe is something old, decayed, out of time, stupid, debauched, degenerate, selling their new crude soft power as the ones depicting Europe capitalist model undemocratic because this model still has some welfare traits not completely ruined by the neoliberal push politics of all the old school European politicians, left and right, which are shit scared to break with the postwar Europe capitalist model because they will loose control of it.
Unfortunately the mindset of the EU populace fell on the tricks of this newspeak of the US magic peddlers and soon they will find themselves STRIPPED OF EVERYTHING.
The Current of the US new capital morphing into wildly creative finance which siphons all possible savings into this mega galactic maze of financial derivatives, NOW WORKING HAND IN HAND with all types of new digital currencies, as Tether or Bitcoin which is the scam how to siphon the remaining savings without paying even the interest on them and channeling the savings or anything free floating into the new financial Palantir control machine of the new US Capitalism.
As the US and soon Europe have lost already most of the real economy capacity, production, capital formation deriving from it, the only game in town is the new Extra spatial third dimension of mathematical, logarithmic, Bayesian, artificial intelligence fantasy land of the new CAPITAL ACCUMULATION. In this nowhere land over the rainbow, anything is possible but to make it real the movers and rules have to exercise complete control over the remaining population which have to be serfs in all senses of the word. Making REAL this type of late Capitalism needs physical constraints and enforcement. The population farms and farming, Called Sovereign States. Sort of Enclosures with fake sovereignty and easily controlled by the Extra Spatial Oligarchy of no tax for me..
Since there are very few things left at disposal to be grabbed and monetized, the US is doing everything to dematerialize the last welfare state remnants and to privatize them in order to monetize them and make them a ground for derivative market. Essentially nothing is left and if a person wants to have something, he has to buy it as a security. A monthly based fee which gives access to a good. It already happened in software industry, no standalone all life long product, same goes for AI. All is based in monthly, soon weekly subscription fees, sort of insurances or virtual time limited ownership, for the corporate owned and controlled houses, appliances, cars, money wallets, health , education, pensions, street walking, travel , paywalls for visiting places, amhm etc, etc, etc etc… On top of that you will have to pay VAT for each “service” taxes and god know what they will invent more… Your life will and it looks like a salami slices of fees taxes, subscriptions to all, next is the air you breath, some carbon tax may be useful.
The US serfs population is already used and compliant to most of this situations living mouth to mouth on subscription fees or if you prefer to call the insurances of short term life coverage,, only Europe is feebly resisting. SO, that is what is going about when these people from the frontmen office of the propaganda say when visiting EU or criticizing it.
The Collateral for this house of cards are the people and the control of them in form of data mining for the derivative capital formation and since they, the people, exist physically, which is a BIG NUISANCE, a curse for these extra spatialists but on the other hand a boundary condition for their house of cards.
The cash flow collateral for overnight repos or balances are the constant weekly, daily, monthly fees, subscriptions and insurances on anything they use that these sheep have to pay for their living, if they can afford it. Individual property for the masses is morphing into subscriptions for living and the communism for masses has finally come! They do not own ANYTHING, THEY CAN ONLY USE THE STUFF IF THEY HAVE MONEY FOR THE SUBSCRIPTIONS.
So imagine your house or flat or whatever you use: it is all on a sort of lease for a fee. Everything you do, is on lease for a fee.
And that is the whole story behind this constant idiotic so called cultural war going on. Now, how does the populace have fallen into this trap? Ask your AI therapist! He will definitely help you, for a fee! But first you have to get a subscription, a decent monthly plan for a good AI, for the laptop, for the electricity, for the chair you sit on, for the flat and for anything you use….
