Rather than prattle on about a libertarian utopia name a single nation where capitalism develpoped without contract law, a parliamentary way to make law, a police and judicial way to enforce law and a military to define its borders.
No large industrial corporate employer can be founded and grow without an infusion of capital from other capitalists. Their called joint stock companies. Yes anyone can become a cockroach in a niche business or one with a small capital to labor ratio. Look up from your screen how many things are produced by a single factory from a single raw material where you walked over and bought it? A few backyard tomatoes that you bought packaged seeds for after driving a car made from parts and raw materials from mines and factories the world over?
If socialism were to fail because of human laziness than the Bourgeois society would have died with its owners a long time ago. They are not compelled to lift so much as a finger with servants to dress them, chiefs to feed them, chaffers to drive them, maids to clean house and a bank account with money than can't spend fast enough. If Bill Gates worked it was estimated he would lose more money by picking up a dropped $100 than continuing on with his 'work'. He started with a million dollar trust fund and through favorable court decisions, cronyism (all capitalism works through cronyism), market manipulations and monopoly practices created Microsoft.
Capitalism with it built in flaws produced WW1, WW2 and the current 2008 crisis which is behind the problems faced by both capitalism and its political system in the US today. It's not the successes of capitalism its but it failures that bring about a revolutionary situation and the ability to change it. It's major flaw is its periodic crises of overproduction caused by the inability of the workers to buy back what they produce, a decline in rate of return in investment which leads not to investment into new means of production but the creation of fictions capital through market manipulations and the limited size of the world and therefore the world market.
They 'globalist' are sections of the capitalist classes that don't want nationalism and competition between national capital to get out of hand and result in another world war. The 'Nationalists' whether they are the Trumpsters, Brexit or others in national capitalist ruling classes want to use the working class against itself by promising jobs via tariffs or threats of them. Neither the globalists nor the nationalists can solve the world crisis set off by the 2008 mortgage crisis. All capitalist forces will begin squabbling with each other and blame the working class for their profit crisis. It's approaching the ten years it usually takes for another crisis to occur and many working people in the US have not been able to recover from the last one. The choice humanity faces is Nuclear war or world socialist revolution. The key country where the working class must take power is the United States. No invasion can successfully disarm the nuclear bombs Washington has posed to destroy anyone who gets in its way. A mass Marxist Leninist party must be built in time before a revolutionary situation develops in the United States that can lead a socialist revolution here.
