Capitalism, in its first real challenge of the 21st century, has been shown to have failed humanity as a whole over the almost 3 years this plague has existed.

I don't think it was the first real challenge, or problem, of capitalism in the 21st century. Just off the top of my head, the 2008 banking collapse was pretty real. It kept itself more or less running throughout - nobody starved that wasn't already, as far as I know, electricity wasn't going out across the world. Consumer products continued to be made and sold, which is less pertinent, but that's the level it managed to keep operating at via various economic lifelines like furlough and stimulus cheques. The total economic chaos and mass unemployment people were afraid of hasn't really happened. Health care has struggled, but that could have happened in a fully communist society that had limited capacity without the means to immediately scale up staff and resources. If it failed on the grounds of how many people have died, then the results aren't uniform across the world. New Zealand and Scotland have similar populations, but NZ has had 900 deaths where Scotland has had 12,000. It varies hugely due to the specific things each government chose to do, and all of the governments in the world that I'm talking about are capitalist. I'm anti-capitalist and I'm not saying that if we had a different system that things wouldn't have been far better, but I don't see how capitalism failed in particular with covid, any more than it has always been a failure due to its basic mechanics. It preserved itself where it had to, and there was no apocalyptic drop in living standards. The deaths even in the worst countries were far lower than the worst predictions, and so on. It's more frustrating to observe how much it hasn't failed and will continue on without any meaningful improvement. roomtone fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Apr 30, 2022 |

The OP is a ding dong but I think the US government keeping vital information about the virus from the public and otherwise not announcing it was here until a bunch of rich people dumped their stocks is worth making a note of.

Look at this fool who's still whining about capitalism when the real threat to human existence are calvinists like Trump and Putin who are being commanded by the laws of physics to murder the world. Even old school capitalists are driven before them.

in english class, we learned about the literary themes of conflict - man vs man, man vs nature, man vs self, etc. it seems to me that capitalism is succeeding in all of these conflicts. it is helping man defeat the planet, defeat each other, defeat ourselves, and one day perhaps, even attack and dethrone god.
