Now that's the kind of forward thinking we need to prevent ourselves from being doomed to repeat our mistakes!

Imagine, a nearby star going nova and just stripping the whole atmosphere with an intense burst of hard radiation. No more poverty, no more disease, no more twitter.

We've also seen the decline of capitalism and its replacement with state-managed technocracy.

quote:

Long derided as a casino, China’s once-volatile stock market is going through a long stretch of calm. One reason is an orchestrated government effort to keep traders and investors in line.

Three years after a national uproar when Chinese stocks plunged by nearly half in just over two months, traders and brokers say regulators are increasingly stepping in to influence trades and make China’s markets appear less volatile, especially during political events when Beijing wants to project stability.

The steps, aided by advanced surveillance techniques to monitor traders, include warning brokerage firms to police trades that are out of step with government wishes and phoning investors directly when they act out of line.

The intervention is becoming more common just when Chinese equities are about to be included for the first time in a global stock index. MSCI Inc., whose benchmarks many investment funds follow, is set to add more than 200 Chinese stocks to its emerging-markets index on June 1. The introduction means more foreign investors will be exposed to a Chinese market that doesn’t move purely to the dictates of supply and demand.

quote:

During some recent bouts of market volatility, regulators stayed on the sidelines, possibly because they blamed the volatility on global developments rather than Chinese domestic matters. Traders say they assume Beijing will intervene if any selloff starts to get out of control.

Beijing has had a complicated relationship with its stock markets ever since it allowed Shanghai to open its exchange in 1990. Then-leader Deng Xiaoping wanted to adopt some tools of Western capitalism, but he also warned that if the stock market “turns out to be a mistake, we’ll just shut it down.”

[...]

Before the October start of the Communist Party Congress, an event held every five years, the new securities regulator, Liu Shiyu, urged domestic brokerage firms to recognize the importance of preserving market stability “at the level of political consciousness.”
The U.S. operates a somewhat similar system that is little-known called the Working Group on Financial Markets or "Plunge Protection Team" set up in 1988 during the Reagan administration. This includes the Treasury sec, Fed chair, SEC chairperson and the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that intervenes directly in the markets.

Karl Marx was right but capitalism's replacement won't be what modern-day socialists think, it'll be global AI central planning. Jeff Bezos and Jack Ma.

actually communism isnt something you try its something you achieve, socialism and capitalism are things you try and if the result is 100% perfect youve achieved communism. It just to happens that communism is at the same time the best outcome and impossible but it remains however a yardstick by which to measure our society

do you really think that the anarchy of the market is superior to the peace of socialism
