The observation that perpetual, continous and cyclical crises are a feature, not a bug, was one of the core objections early marxists (even before they were called that) made against the corporate capitalist system.

Well, not just marxists, really. Catholics, protestants, secular humanists and above all democratic nationalists all made that observation during the 19th century, since when every crisis came about, never did the rich get poorer or starved. Recall Chesterton's remarks in "The man who was Thursday" about why the rich have no loyalty or stake in any nation, or any people.

But the common man, the working class and shopkeeper and the craftsman, they all did. They were the ones neing made into debt-slaves and had it not been for the workers' rights movements throughout all western nations, debt would still be inherited.

It's just capitalism working as intended, really. The rich spend the working class' lives as an asset to crash and rebuild, utilising the state as an enforcer so that tax money can be funneled to the capitalists via various projects and deals, be they bailouts or tax breaks.

What do we do?

We fight state over-reach because it has no right we haven't explicitly given it, morally speaking. We fight corporate control by voting with our feet and our money, withdrawing business and stake in their corporate state. And we protest, build alternatives, and learn how to work around the system or even to profit from it, starving the beast in the process.

Which by the by was the strategy proposed by the original french anarchists.

One of the corner-stones to reclaim is family. From family stems kinship, and from that belonging to the same people, and from there the same nation.

Look at what DEI and the rest of it always attacks in its rethorics: family, traditions, culture and morals. Why?

"Nothing above the state; nothing beyond the state", as that italian communist said.

One of the fundamental problems is the assumption that no company can operate without borrowing money. These corporations have been raking in BILLIONS of dollars and yet, they still need to acquire funding from WEF controlled central banks?
