US capitalism was an exemplary success for other
countries for decades. It deserves all praises but we lost some frightening
processes behind the polished face for the outer world. This is the major turn from the industrial
driver demanding more and more qualified labor (it took just a few decades to
poison The Great Lakes for the sake of industrial growth) to a monstrous mow quaffing everything. The US
capital lost its inherent advantage of job creation because the economic efficiency
is not technologically creative anymore - it is aimed at over-consumption
through services. Job is not a measure of success. Now it is status consumption,
which cannot cover the whole population. The US is not a country of consolidated
progress - it is the country of separation and segregation. People cannot encash
their capabilities to work and produce goods and services because their value-added is below the marginal cost for the most efficient capital growth. These
people consciously or unconsciously go to protest since the standard democratic
procedure does not work ( the last attempt was with Trump elected to return
industry and lower increase the marginal cost by tariffs and so on, but the
capital resistance is too strong). The current peaceful protest wave is the
expression of the deepest fear in the hearts of millions lost jobs, losing jobs, or vulnerable to job loss. The US is not a good place for masters. And this
conflict in the US society, which cannot be resolved in a democratic way with both
parties struggle for the same consumption position not for economic progress, frightens the most. Сapitalism does not bite its own tail - it changes its skin. Nothing personal - just business.
