COVID-19 Impact: Is “Inclusive Capitalism”
By Milson Salgado: When the Covid-19 Pandemic began, the common characteristic of its deadly attack was aimed at ending the lives of the elderly, and the great bulk of the dead in the world came from those ages, especially in Italy, England, the United States and Spain.
There were sufficient reasons to affirm that there were dark purposes to end the issue of pensions, and the retirements of these age groups, who stopped being part of the economically productive population, and only received the benefits, which for the years of work had gained, without the voracious companies receiving their counterpart reciprocally.
These people weighed so much on the neoliberal system, because with the fall of socialism they remained in archaeological temples of museums, very common terms in those years, such as capital gains, collective contracts, pensions, and retirements, since the value of the worker decreased with the absence of the East-West confrontation, and economic indicators such as "economic growth" took precedence over more humane indicators such as "equitable distribution of wealth."
In addition, in 2017, the "adolescent", managing director of the International Monetary Fund, the French Christine Lagarde, had affirmed that the aging of the population would condemn the World Economy to grow less.
This congruence between the concerns that 3 years ago made the institution (IMF) that governs the central banking system in the world delirious, and the solution that miraculously brought the Covid-19 pandemic to their interests, raises a lot of suspicion, about all, when so many conspiracy theories that reveal the human manufacture of the current virus become more plausible.
Covid capitalism is flirting with socialism
If this is true, we are ruled by monsters that do not have any kind of respect for human life as an axial value, which transcends the categories of value-consumption, labor-surplus value, first-world citizen versus citizen-periphery. Faced with this perspective, the best revolution that can be proposed to the system is to survive.
All those idyllic visions displayed pristinely in national political constitutions and international conventions are mere mirages of streams, in the middle of the desert, and even more so when the pragmatism of the decisions of world leaders make it clear that these strings of toilet paper are not binding. , and the exception becomes the general rule
This current crisis, produced by the health pandemic (Covid-19), shows that the world can do without economic growth, but it cannot survive without the health of its workers. This scenario would pose the ideal return of humanitarian measures, and Keynes tends to turn from time to time into a ubiquitous ghost, and the repeated conscientious objector to the current economic system. Despite the obviousness of the crises that, regardless of their own nature, hit people, and requires an economic program to rescue the same people, the economic system resorts (despite the incidence of Covid-19), to rescue gigantic banks, businesses, and companies; at the expense of life. In the United States, 731 billion dollars were allocated, since the federal reserve began to take emergency measures against the Covid-19 pandemic to strengthen the stock market in March 2020, and this did so at a time when The Covid-19 crisis had more impact on its population, and that its health system is privatized, and deficient for its citizens.
Let's not get excited, the numbers and statistics are worth more than us, for those who have the button to end the planet at hand. It seems that the first stage of deaths was laughable, and they need higher figures to underpin their plans for massive depopulation, so it is plausible that the lethality of the virus has mutated in such a way that young people are also victims of it.
When in international forums of the second decade of the 21st century it was customary that the salvation of the world due to the effect of climate change passed through the change of the innate production matrix to the capitalist system. At crucial moments when the space race is a matter of interest for the traditional United States and Russia, and the emerging Japan, China, the United Arab Emirates, and even India itself. When the world's multimillion-dollar companies such as Space X, Mitsubishi, and state-owned companies such as Russia's Rocosmos, and the United States' NASA invest large amounts of money for eventual trips to Mars, and there is even talk of colonizing, and managing evacuation projects, it is because the world's poor outside their factory quotas, and manual jobs are expendable for the elites.
This has been repeated cyclically in history. There are pseudo-scientific reports that claim that the Mayans disappeared
This has been repeated cyclically in history. There are pseudo-scientific reports that claim that the Mayans disappeared from the face of the earth, when the Chortie Mayans now rule the streets of Copán, and it is the elites who left because of the droughts. The earth looks like a ship about to wreck, and the rotten rats in millions tremble for a world revolution, for a process of consciousness that makes us understand that 8 thousand people dominate and exploit more than 9 billion human beings . This worries them, and creates terror now that information has been democratized, and consciousness processes have spread throughout the world.
