To be fair, what we're doing now isn't capitalism, it's corporatocracy. It's the end stage of capitalism, the part of the Monopoly game where one guy has all the properties except the dude with the railroads, and the rest of us are hoping to land on Free Parking.

You shop from a handful of large conglomerates and they're fixing the prices.

There's no (beneficial) innovation. There's no competition. We're essentially in a truck system going into debt trying to survive from the company store.

just to be a pedantic ass: the “end stage” of capitalism is still capitalism. it’s like the end stage of cancer is still called cancer; we need to continue to reference the fact that capitalism is destroying all it touches.

new phrases or labels only cleave attention spans in a world already designed (by capitalism) to have no focus.

Then the end stage of communism, is communism.

What Stalin did, is the end of communism. What followed was the decline and lack of innovation.
