[lbo-talk] IT innovation and "the Markets"

[Carrol Cox]

One of the horrors of capitalism, both in itself and as source of other
evils, is the rapid pace of innocation. This is one of the theoretical
weaknesses of "progressive" as opposed to serious socialist, a really
naive and even destructive belief that change is inherently a virtue,
while it is more often at best harmless and all too often destructive.
Humanity needs a rest of constant change if it is to survive. 

We _have_ to destroy capitalism root and branch for the same reason,
survival. Commodity production must cease. But on the whole, necessity
is the only rational reason for change. Merely desirable change which is
not necessary should come slowly.
