The primary driver of the trajectory of a [self-]global[izing capital-relation-based human-social system is the "self-duality" of capital as "self-expanding value" versus capital as "self-contracting value", and the mutually-determined shift in the balance of these two contrary, mutually-engendering processes as the capital-praxis of humanity develops itself....
Competitive capitalism is inherently unstable.
Competition leads to the negation of competition.
Some competitors succeed, most fail.
The succeeding competitors swallow up the assets of the failing competitors.
As a result, the concentration of economic power grows, in the hands of the successful
competitors.
But, as the physical mass of profit-productivity-enhancing fixed capital grows relative to the physical mass of circulating capital, the vulnerability of the owners of concentrated capital to devastating competition from "upstart" new entrants, employing less costly and/or more productive fixed capital, grows apace.
The concentrated-capital owners can be forced, by such competition — from "upstart" new
entrants, employing less costly and/or more productive fixed capital — to retire their
thus "obsoleted" fixed capital, at a loss, i.e., long before its full-physical-life-time-use
"full amortization" would have paid for it + via its profit-returns, AND while they still
owe debt-service on the loans that they took out to purchase that now-worthless fixed
capital, perhaps having to pay that debt-service for many years still to come, while also
having to take out NEW loans on the NEW, replacement fixed-capital, that is competitive
with the "upstart" new entrant's more advanced fixed capital, thus "compounding" their
debt-service expenses.
This compounding of debt-service payment expenses on fixed capital, for both fixed capital
still in use and also for that not still in use, and thus no longer generating any revenue
"coverage" for its own continuing debt-service costs, combined with the continual "writing-off"
of fixed capital "techno-obsoleted" in this way, once the value of fixed capital has become
a large or even a predominant portion of total capital, can induce a secular decline in
the net rate of profit return on investment for core concentrated industrial capital.
Later, this capital-return-rate losses to industrial capitalists and to banks is "socialized"
(e.g., due to the heightening rates of bankruptcy if industrial borrowers holding too much
"compounded" debt-service expense) — is converted into inflation losses to the public
(i.e., mainly, to losses for the working class — for the buying power of their wages
and savings), via "Central Bank" fractional reserve monetary systems [fiat debt-money-creation
systems] — systems no longer constrained by production and productivity (e.g., by
the production of precious metals), and designed for that very purpose by the core plutocracy.

As a result, the owners of concentrated, core industrial capital move massively to destroy
such "upstart", new entrant, new technology based competition, both from entrepreneurs in
the industrial capitalist core countries, and from other countries, outside that core, that
have the potential to industrialize — a potential that they seek to crush by the setting
up of progress-suppressing comprador servant dictatorships throughout the yet-to-industrialize
peripheries of the core capitalist countries.
The successful competitors, the core concentrated industrial and banking capital owners,
have sufficient capital-profit funds, and other forms of power, to begin "buying-out" [prostituting]
the national states of the core — legislature, executive, and judiciary alike.
They leverage their prostitution of these governments to destroy real competition, arranging
corporate welfare of all kinds for themselves, and biased regulatory strangulation for their
smaller competitors, especially the new entrants who are fielding the most innovative,
higher-productivity technologies.
Now "Above the Law", the concentrated-capital ownership plutocracy begins to kidnap ("disappear"),
or assassinate, or otherwise ruin (often using the unconstitutionally-expanded police powers
of their prostitute-governments) inventors whose innovations threaten to "techno-depreciate"
the plutocrats' fixed capital, via more-advanced, more-productive technology. [Example:
HYPOTHESIS — the Rockefeller Oil/Finance Plutocracy has brought about the rapid demise,
in one way or another, of every single inventor/scientist who has ever announced a successful
fusion reactor design. For more about these dynamics, see
GS3: The Long History of the 'Rocke-Nazi' Suppression of Nuclear Fusion Energy Development,
and the Decoy of Linear-Equilibrium "Tokamak" Fusion.]
For more about these "techno-depreciation" dynamics, see:
So, the plutocracy also uses its wealth, and the military power of the core capitalist state(s)
which it has prostituted, financed for "free" to that plutocracy, via the tax revenues paid
to those states mainly by their non-wealthy, non-plutocrat. mostly working class citizens,
to install, and to maintain, "servant-dictatorships" all over the periphery of the core/"advanced"
industrial capitalist state(s). The function of these "servant-dictators" — "servants"
to the core plutocracy, "dictators" to their own citizens — is to murder the progressive
citizens of those nations, and to destroy any industrialization or technological advance
in those peripheral states.
Otherwise, the core plutocracy would face "techno-depreciation" of its fixed-capital-based
assets from abroad, from the periphery, where a combination of traditionally low wages,
and latest-vintage, higher-productivity, lower-cots, higher-quality capital equipment, in
competition against the plutocracy's older-vintage/obsolete capital equipment, and the
higher wages won through generations of bloody struggles against that plutocracy in the
core industrial-capitalist state(s), would "techno-depreciate" that plutocracy's
fixed-capital-based assets, and/or depress their rate of return on those assets, to an extent
which would threaten the ability to hold onto economic, hence political, power of that plutocracy.
These plutocrats next even begin to massively fund anti-science, anti-technology,
pro-de-industrialization, and "people are pollution" (pro-humanocide) ideologies —
e.g., Rockefeller "Eugenics" in the 1920s & 1930s, adopted — and discredited —
by their former "servant-dictator", "Franken-Dictator" Adolph Hitler, all the way to
today's "Eugenics Warmed-Over" — humanocidal
"GLOBAL-WARMISM", as well as other variants of pro-"population
reduction" ploys (e.g., "Peak-Oil"-ism, "Small-Is-Beautiful"-ism, "Limits-to-Growth"-ism,
"Zero-Growth"-ism, etc., etc., ad nauseam) — to help block further advances in
technology/"human social productivity", which threaten to devalue their fixed-capital-based
assets, and, hence, since these plutocrats strive to suppress any rise in global social
productivity, they work also to achieve public acquiescence in global multi-genocide
("population reduction"), since their productivity-blocking has
the consequence of accumulating an ever more miserable population of poor people worldwide,
ever more likely to revolt against, and to overthrow, that ultra-vicious plutocracy.
The plutocracy therefore acts to murder these people preemptively, through all kinds of
stealth genocide (e.g., via genomically-engineered "Designer Diseases", such as "AIDS"),
and through outright genocide whenever these plutocrats think that they can get away with
it.
Thus, the self-degeneration of representative-democratic, competitive capitalism into
totalitarian, humanocidal state-capitalism is inevitable.
This path represents the immanent "law of motion" of industrial-capital-based human societies
generally.
The only way that I see out of this nightmare is to increasingly put the productive assets
of society into the hands of socialized producers' cooperatives, which must meet the economic
checks-and-balances, and the tests, of market competition — e.g., the Equitists' new
"Citizen Stewardship Equity" constitutional rights.
Control — not ownership,
but stewardship — of social
property productive assets by these socialized producers' cooperatives would, in that way,
be widely dispersed, creating constitutional-citizen-economic-rights-based economic
checks-and-balances, conserving the checks-and-balances on "product quality" and "customer
service quality" provided by market competition, and blocking the hyper-concentration of
capital-asset-value seen today, which leads rapidly to the global self-destruction of human
society, due to the political-economic dynamics of "techno-depreciation", and due to the
predictable ruling class strategic responses thereto, described above.
This "way out" will require a popular revolution in the "core of the core" of
[state-]capitalism — in the U.S.A., as well as in China
— much like the one which overthrew Stalinist state-capitalism
in Russia and Eastern Europe circa 1989, but, this time, it must be, if it is to succeed,
a revolution aimed DIRECTLY at the ruling Rockefeller/Morgan/Rothschild/etc. invisible
dictatorship, which was able to pervert and suppress the Eastern European and Russian
revolutions against state-capitalism, installing new servant-dictators
there, because that plutocracy was in a momentaneously safe, privileged position to strike
at them, since it was not directly vulnerable to those revolutions.
This revolution, to succeed, must be aimed at GREATER
individual liberty, not less.
It must be a revolution whose goal is the CONSERVATIVE EXTENSION of the U. S. Constitution
and Bill Of Rights, so as to add ECONOMIC CHECKS AND BALANCES, and new Species of
Citizen Equity constitutional rights, beyond but still including, and, for the first time,
enforcing Capital-Equity — New Citizen Economic Rights — to the Political Rights and
checks-and-balances already enshrined in — even if honored mostly "in the breach",
especially lately — the Bill Of Rights of that Constitution.
It must be, to succeed, a revolution whose demand is an amendment of the U.S.
Constitution, establishing a Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY.
To succeed, it must be a legal, non-violent movement for constitutional amendment, using
the legally-established channels for such amendment.
Unfortunately, the Caligulan, Neroan, hyper-pervertoids of the U. S. plutocracy can be
expected to attack this movement illegally, with all of the ultra-violence that they can
muster, until or unless this movement becomes popular enough — just as the popularity
of the revolutions in Eastern Europe and the former USSR eventually stayed the hand of
the vicious secret police and the pro-Stalinist army elements, flash-freezing those craven
bullies via their fear of popular wrath. Since this ultra-violent response of the
(Rockefeller/Morgan/Rothschild/etc.) plutocracy is predictable, it should be prepared
for in advance.
How much more mass murder will the people of the United States tolerate from the Rocke-Nazi,
"R.I.C.O." [Racketeer
Influenced and
Corrupt
Organization] U.S. "government"
before they rise up?
Individualist Anarchists and Pseudo-Libertarians take
heed: Pining away for a utopia of stable, perpetual free capitalist
competition, a la Ron Paul — a nowhere "utopia" that
does not exist, and that
cannot ever
exist anywhere — is, well, ineffective, and impractical,
to say the least. Insisting upon that impossibility — and
thereby transferring even more unchecked power into the hands of the mega-corporate
plutocracy — is the creed of the latest breed of 'utopian capitalists'.
Pseudo-Marxians (Lenino-Stalinoids, Lenino-Trotskyoids,
Stalino-Mao-oids, etc., etc., ad nauseam) take heed: Totalitarian
state-capitalism is not
socialism (that is, the political-economic democracy of "the associated producers") [This
is detailed directly in the works of Karl Marx, as opposed to the re-presented, recuperated,
and falsified works of said pseudo-Marxians, many funded and deployed by the aforementioned
plutocracy.], but the very extremity of the historical
OPPOSITE of socialism!
