Le réarmement est une opportunité pour le capital d'obtenir des réductions de la protection sociale et des services publics, au prix d'une baisse de la rentabilité.

Chatham House : « Les hommes politiques devront se préparer à récupérer de l'argent en réduisant les allocations de maladie, les pensions de retraite et les soins de santé. »

La ministre britannique des finances, Rachel Reeves n'a cessé de réduire les dépenses consacrées aux allocations familiales, aux allocations d'hiver pour les personnes âgées et aux prestations d'invalidité. Elle a annoncé que les attributions du nouveau Fonds national de richesse du gouvernement "travailliste" seraient modifiées afin de lui permettre d'investir dans "la défense" (en fait l'industrie de l'armement).

L'augmentation des dépenses militaires stimule la croissance mais peut nuire à la « santé » du processus d'accumulation capitaliste (en) thenextrecession.wordpress.com

#TeenVogue: "It’s really a question of whether anyone can ever be “self-made,” or whether this is the language of a larger myth that justifies wealth #inequality. The self-made myth conceals the multitude of barriers to wealth #accumulation and reinforces the notion that if you’re poor, it’s because you’re lazy or made bad choices. The notion that a #billionaire has worked hard for every penny of their wealth is simply fanciful."

Teen Vogue · Billionaires Should Not Exist — Here’s WhyBy Rebekka Ayres

The accumulation of capital
While the whole world seems to be masturbating over Elon Musk pictures and indulging in this miserable bourgeois view of history, that a few individuals are responsible for the evils of the world and that if they were gone, everything would be totally wonderful. The history-interested reader wonders which school everyone went to.

History and thus the present are historically determined (who would have thought it) phenomena like Musk and Trump are just like Biden and Harris phenomena of our time, which arise from the inevitable misguided development of the system based on private capital. Inevitably (in the German vernacular, one says: the devil shits on the biggest heap) capital will accumulate, that is, one of the competitors in the free market will prevail. First oligarchies will form, then monopolies and empires. Power accumulates with capital and there will be neither democracy nor any form of free market. And that is not a new despotic form of capitalism or liberalism, which is always associated with fascism, but the abolition of itself. Capital cannibalizes itself.

All this can be known. In 1912, Rosa Luxemburg wrote “The Accumulation of Capital”. If I can't or won't read this because of anti-communism, I'm missing one of the works of the great thinkers of humanity!
However, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, READ! READ!!!

"The modern capitalist is nothing more than an absentee owner of #power".
"The #electric car, first invented in the 1830s, predates its gasoline and diesel counterparts by half a century, and for a while was more popular than both (Wakefield 1994). But by the early twentieth century, having proved less profitable than the gas guzzlers, it fell out of favour." blairfix.github.io/capital_as_ by @blair_fix #ownership #energy #accumulation #capitalism #transportation #mobility #transition #decentralized

#Logements : les #riches accumulent depuis un #bail

Une étude de l’ #Insee met en évidence l’ #hyperconcentration, à la fois sociale et géographique, du #patrimoine immobilier français. Une #richesse qui obéit à une logique d’ #accumulation.

[…] Cela en dit long sur l'extrême #concentration du patrimoine #immobilier français, un quart des #ménages (24 %) détiennent à eux seuls les deux tiers du #parc de logements (68 %).
