[lbo-talk] Jayati Ghosh on the contradictory effects of tech change

[Carrol Cox]

And you really ought somehow to have noticed that "the system" is right now
collapsing before your very eyes. The problem is not to topple it from below
(that meme is indeed so 19th century) but to get out from under the wreckage
and start rebuilding.

======

Those who have not gone through the "revolutionizing practice" of
overthrowing the system through their own collective activity will be
totally unfit to build a system a whit better than the system which has
toppled.

But no worry. Shane  often has important things to say, but here he is
babbling nonsense. Capitalism renews itself by continually self-destructing
and rising from its own ashes.
