The books Marx wrote are the evidence. If you read them then you'd see why they are obviously relevant today. Of course, reading and understanding serious literature takes more effort than trolling on public forums.

It's always hilarious when illiterates proceed to make clowns of themselves by discussing things they haven't read.

wow that's terrible, would never happen in an enlightened western country like the UK https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/30/human-rights-activist-sarah-wilkinson-arrested-by-uk-police/

Politics is literally the rules of society which are the pressures on human behavior. People behave in a way that the conomic/political system rewards, and avoid behaving in the way it punishes. Amazing that this could be a difficult concept for people to understand, yet here we are.

Imagine not being able to understand how selection pressures work. 🤦

It obviously does have stages that progress towards each other, and the reason it progresses in a certain way is due to mechanics of the system. It's not backsliding towards anything, it's evolving under the selection pressures encoded in its rules. Incidentally, this is what the game of monopoly illustrates. Everybody starts on even footing and over time, through competition, all the capital accumulates with a single player. This happens regardless how many times you play the game.

It' intellectually lazy to think that feudalism just magically reasserts itself without thinking about the process that leads to capitalism turning back into feudalism.

she did say she'd be open to a republican in her cabinet

totally

Maybe, but both the shots I had were head on :)

haha right in both accounts :)

Capitalism is a dynamic system that evolves over time. The general mechanics of the system lead to increased capital concentration over time, so late stage capitalism starts to look largely indistinguishable from feudalism.
