Mass Consumption In The 20th Century - reply, attribute

As a system of economic and social organisation, Capitalism has long outlived any historical usefulness its many advocates have claimed. This is because it creates the following existential contradictions: Obscene extremes of poverty and wealth; continual wars over resources and markets; environmental pollution, ecological destruction, species extinction and the exhaustion of all the essential planetary resources necessary to sustain all forms of life. In addition, in the 21st century, capitalism is once again in a systemic economic, financial, political and moral crisis as well as sponsoring further military aggressions. The first deprivation is the complete loss of control over the nature and duration of their working lives. The second deprivation is the continued appropriation by the elites of the huge volumes of unpaid-labour and thus surplus-value which working people, rural, urban, white-collar and blue, create whilst at work in their many occupations. All previous attempts at reforming, re-shaping or transforming capitalism by revolutionary or reformist political means, have failed to radically change the oppressive relationship between capital and labour. Either privately controlled capital has subjugated working people to its exploitation or state-controlled capital has done so in its stead. Despite, their rhetoric, Social Democratic, Fascist and Communist political ideologies and their organisational systems have all been based upon and retained a political and social elite, existing upon exploited wage-labour.
