You act like this is some sorta news flash. Capitalism is failing not because of mercantile trade practices, hell you almost never hear of trade tariffs anymore with all the free market rhetoric going about, but because we have shifted our focus as a nation from the benefits derived from production of goods based on the profits of those goods when sold to the debt based economy of consumerism. Almost all of our production in the past 20 years has been based on the accumulation of debt as a means of production. We allow our government to artificially inflate the money supply to make available the debt to keep the cycle in a perpetual state. Capitalism only works for the benefit of all when we produce goods not from debt but from profits and save a portion of those profits or wages in anticipation of the appreciation of capital.
Anyway if we have this revolution you speak of what then? What would be the plan then. Is this revolution to be carried out by the workers of this land? Who will become the ruling class after the revolution?
What happened anyway? did you run out of beer or smoke? you are normally not this fired up.
