Capitalism functions through crisis.
Gluts, droughts, shortages, internal warfare, crisis in general keeps the price of commodities high.
“ Are you better off with Biden or Trump?, This is the false thinking the American politicians use on the American working classes, a clever strategy that takes the attention away from the process of Accumulation of Capital going on in the back end of the governments. Elections are a distraction from the accumulation process.
Elections distract from the crisis occurring in the background where corporations are getting filthy rich and the masses filthy destitute. I cannot emphasis this enough.
Gaza, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc are where the money is being made, corporations are enriched where people are dying.
The leaders in the governments know this better than the masses do that there are four ways to enrich the bourgeoisie they represent.
Crisis is a part of their tool box, and they use it for restarting capital accumulation.
Take for example Gregg Abbot the governor of Texas. Had he sent migrants to all of the very wealthy communities in the US instead of sending them to the opposition’s political run cities the Border Crisis would have been solved. America’s bourgeoisie would have leaned on the Fed to take the migrants out of their communities and Congress would have taken action and debate a rational reform bill on naturalization but this would point everyone to the wars as the cause of the displacement of people and the wars are the accumulation process of the super rich.
Crisis occurs in the financial and housing sectors. Really people should be asking is capitalism the crisis?
There is always a coordinated assault by the leaders in government on social spending that follows a crisis.
In America it would be the Speaker of the House of Representatives who would initiate austerity packages that cut social spending.
In this case that honor falls on an Evangelical-Christian to decide what cuts are to go through. I think we know who this evangelical would choose to bear the cuts the most in society. As irony would have it racism was alway a tool for the bourgeoisie to dominate the American working classes but today racism is its Achilles Heel, the one faction opposed to the accumulation process resulting from war are a right wing faction in the republican party who threaten to cease Aid to Ukraine and Israel in exchange for Border security is a form of racism America’s 5000 strong bourgeoisie, owners of the Fortune 500 corporations, would sooner crush this right wing than give up the accumulation process. Crushing opposition is what the democrats do best,--they set up an opposition for prosecution and jail. But it is always the motive of preserving the accumulation process that keeps prices high behind the crushing of an opposition candidate or group, such as the Jan 6th rioters of the Capitol. There were pro-Trump working class supporters and there were far right militias and there were CIA plants among both of them. The aim was to have one of the groups break the law and then find them for trial and prosecution.
If you live long enough under capitalism the pattern is evidently clear. But to younger people with less life experience with capitalism they get caught up with the subjective side of capitalism. Who the person in power is not the system that person promotes is more important to the youth.
When the leaders invoke a crisis for the sake of accumulation to make ordinary people pay a generation is subjected to austerity their whole lives.
So why are Europeans and Americans ignorant of capitalism and is this ignorance the reason people are unable to pull the curtain down on the system?
Capitalism is the threat to the planet and the human species.

What makes this happen are chosen policies (government decrees) that give free interaction to producers to act as free buyers and sellers without any interference by the government. Ordinary people are not clued into this brand of politicians as a generation elected into office since 1980, are the same types of people who come up through the ranks of the political parties, and in practice as government officials their job is to hinder their office, political sabotage, weaken government’s impact, effect, to ensure the Public in society is not at risk of material and economic exploitation by exercising its main functions.
A personal allegiance to that anti-government theory as infallibly correct (arrogance) makes this generation of politicians an enemy of ordinary people. Ordinary people are shut out of government by an army of technocrats, who weaken or cut down government services to society in two of its primary functions: inspections in all industry and, 2., product safety and financial exploitation by private interests.
In short, the two main spheres of social economic activity take an antithetical form of itself as two private spheres. The private sector establishes a class dictatorship through the final abolition of government. This would be the end of a Democratic Republic. History would position ordinary people into a society where government does not exist replacing it with private security forces paid to enforce the needs of the private sector in the spheres of production and circulation. This does not have to look or act like 1930s totalitarianism but it is a totalitarianism never the less.

The firewood commodity controversy of collecting wood in the forest that is private property is reminiscent of what happened in 1842-43 in Germany’s Rhineland Parliament on the same matter. I find it surprising and, frankly, disappointing that the German Parliament’s lawmakers had left this law on the books since then. They made a law on wood and timber and they (lawmakers back then) were instructed to treat wood and timber as wood and timber and not make a law to solve a social problem in a political way, that is, in connection to a material poverty people are experiencing in not affording heat to their homes that in 1842 this law unleashed the police and charged with the crime of theft were people freezing to death and without fire to cook. Really shocking of the modern-day lawmakers to have left this in place.
What a disappointment to me, a failure, that lawmakers took advantage of the out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude of the German Public during times of prosperity and then turn rough forget how important it is that lawmakers be independent of a private interest influence at all times. Almost 200 years later, this poverty of lack of heat rears its head and the State takes the side of a private interest. All the forests are private property. The law was never amended that would make it law private holders of land make all broken timber and wood collectable free of charge when there is a dearth of wealth in the economy. The social democratic party should be called the social partially democratic party!
Some things will never become private property of an individual without injustice; and, counting every violation of property as theft, is a contradiction when private property is theft.
I hope the German middle class wake up from their delusions about capitalism. Not even the richest of all capitalist nations is without injustice, in fact, present day Americans live below or at near poverty levels and America’s shrinking middle class illustrates the future of the European middle classes, Germany’s is no exception to this unnatural recession; and while sabotage cuts off the heat supply to Europe the politicians scuttle for excuses are really doing the Public a disservice representing a private interest in that recession; a foreign private interest that is not even their own home based private interest.
