So in the end, they is an internal contradiction in capitalism. It just append to be collapse due to lack of ressources and dumb management
I feel like no matter what's happening, some people will always blame capitalism
TIL reverting the direction of Siberian rivers and turning Kazakh steppe into agricultural land were capitalist projects.
This one is a contradiction of highly hierarchical and degenerate systems.
With capitalism the contradiction is old and well known - power bends rules. Bent rules cause degeneracy. Degeneracy causes degradation and collapse.
Got me interested enough to Google, maybe you should too
If you mean the rivers part, then yes.
If you mean the steppe part, then no, they've caused a few ecological catastrophes first before stopping.
What does an economic system have to do with bad IT decisions?
I think that an economy lead by financial interest, open market, and a hierarchy in the production is a good definition of capitalism.
And yes, definitely the way that people get food, housing, and not being exclude will define a lot of thing in society.
Capitalism is, in essence, the ability for people to exchange their goods freely. It isn't dependent on corporations or some weird hierarchy of managers and workers. Those are facts of living in this system, but it isn't a direct consequence of "capitalism." If everyone worked only for themselves and produced something to bring to the exchange, that would still be capitalism.
