A lot of crowded beaches this Memorial Day weekend. In my two visits to Avila, I saw one mask but did not spend much time there. Young people are not wearing them.

Yes more sickly people but the up side is more taxes per acre. This is reality of SMART GROWTH……

It will keep spreading because Trumpies won’t wear masks and will spread the virus because they are so stubborn. They will look so good when they are wearing a ventilator!

The Marxists always seem to out themselves rather foolishly.

freedumb … no, not really, but the lack of face masks and social distancing was a mistake. “Marxists” another no thought name calling to offset the “dumb” stuff.

Marx is an interesting thought though. Let us explore! What would Marx think of the current situation? Here’s a possible iteration of Marx’s crises of capitalism. I DON’T agree but here it is for thought.

From Marxian economic theory, as modified in parenthesis: All of the attempts of large capital (international billionaire wealth) to counteract the falling rate of profit (too much wealth chasing, too few investment opportunities, resulting in low rates of return, have you checked your CD lately?) can only be offset by temporary palliatives (think negative interest rates, central bank stimulus, government deficits). And in this process, the chief source of escape for the capitalist will be intensifying the exploitation of labor: that is to continue driving down (real) wages to augment surplus (the dwindling earnings on capital). Both the unemployment caused by technological change, by machines (automation) that displace labor, and the population growth stimulated by the economic development (including offshoring production to large foreign populations) will create a ‘reserve army of the unemployed’ (and underemployed, 30+/- million currently in USA) which will permit the capitalists (international billionaires) to depress (real) wages further and further to the point of (driving us all into misery and government program dependency. International billionaires will then use the political power of their wealth to reduce these government programs keeping labor in a constant dependency on international billionaire wealth for survival).

So, pi-on, how can this be stopped?

Thank you for some good ol facts Mazin, you might get called a “socialist” too for telling the truth about Marxism. Worse; a communist!
