The demands of capital accumulation.Ĭapitalism is a system that needs to keep expanding production to keep the accumulation of capital rising to offset the general rate of profit’s tendency to fall (it trended down from an estimated 43% in the 1870s to 17% in the 2000s). These grabs are certainly happening but stopping there does not get to the root of the issue. What we tend to hear from those who do believe in a conspiracy is that it is all about grabs on power, land, and wealth. What has not been covered convincingly, at least widely, is an analysis of why the ruling class might have resorted to any conspiracy (or at least such a level of rank opportunism), and why now exactly (with the World Economic Forum speaking of a ‘ Great Reset’ and one of its contributors anticipating an entirely rent-based economy whereby “ you’ll own nothing and be happy”). Whether you believe that covid-19 broke out as a result of capitalism’s ever-greater need to turn the environment into commodities that the infection and death rates have been inflated by sleights of hand to justify lockdowns and a profit-motivated vaccine arms race that the outbreak was planned bioterrorism all along or that there is no proof that covid-19 even exists as a novel virus ( on the basis that it has apparently never been isolated, see here also) one thing is undeniable: given the dire state of the world economy, the timing of the pandemic could not have been more convenient for the ruling class and the needs of capital accumulation.ĭoubts about the severity or veracity of covid-19 and concerns about the safety and effectiveness of rushed vaccination programmes that cannot be smugly dismissed as anti-vaxxer hysteria have been widely discussed and debated elsewhere. ![]() Left Lockdown Sceptics hosts an excerpt of this excellent article by Ted Reese.īecause capitalism is working towards its own abolition by replacing commodity-producing labour with automated machines, the profitability of capital is increasingly dependent on low wages, public debt, state orders, and the centralisation of wealth and power. ![]()
