I would suggest that anyone interested in this subject read "The failure of capitalist production", by Andrew Kliman. The author delves into the tendency for the rate of profit to fall in marxist terms, looking especially, but not exclusively, at the 2008 crisis.
I mention this because he uses an analogy that made me understand the tendency for the rate of profit to fall more accurately: like gravity, the rate of profit tends to fall, but that does not mean that all objects on Earth will eventually reach their lowest point with no means of going back up. It is merely a tendency, which capitalism is always fighting back against, and not a deterministic prediction about an absolute low in the rate of profits in the future.
Good meme tho
I mention this because running around in a hamster wheel is cool
I'm not sure I understand your comments
Well if you know the system has this tendency to do the same thing over and over again why keep running around in a hamster wheel to keep it spinning?
Well, I certainly don't benefit from the machinations of capitalism, but, from what I gather, capitalists benefit by enjoying the periods in which profits are high and by destroying capital and consolidating monopolies when they are low. So maybe that's an incentive to continue being the ruling class, I suppose
Ya fancy hamster wheel
I wasn’t accusing you or anything I’m just like what’s with running in the hamster wheel ???
lol I get it now, I'd just forgotten what I commented
No worries here
It’s absolutely fine
