StashAugustine posted:This is kind of a crucial point- there's a lot of social-democratic reforms which could make the system less terrible while maintaining the capitalist system; but since the system is, well, controlled by capitalists, anything that impedes them even slightly will have to be fought for tooth and nail This isn't true because capital is parasitic; social democracy is an overhaul of colonialism in that capital is simply increasingly exported while the resources and surplus of labor in the periphery of the neocolonial empire continues to be imported, absorbed and used to fuel and sustain those social benefits within the imperial core, at accelerating rates. When people say "capitalism isn't sustainable," one of the inescapable corollaries is also that any such change has to be a shift of the burden to somewhere else rather than an actual remedy for the root cause.
