2.2 Evidence that Capitalism is Anti-Economy

The “priest class” of positivist-scientists intent on proving that capitalism is an economic system have the wrong perception of the capitalist problem, a perception which they transmit to others. There is only one explanation for economic crises, namely that capitalism is the sworn enemy and opponent of the economy. Some crises are said to be caused by overproduction. While the majority of the world is starving, the minority produces in excess! These deliberate depressions are the best proof of capitalism’s anti-economy position. The reason for causing these depressions is very clear: the profit of the monopolies. When the allowance left for the workers is no longer a sufficient purchasing power, the so-called depressions are generated. Who comes to the help in such a situation, which fake priest or so-called economist? Keynes! What is his solution? The state should increase expenditure. How? By increasing the purchasing power of the worker! How is this dirty game exposed? With one hand, you empty the worker’s pocket while with the other you fill it up! This certainly is a policy aiming at persuading all the workers and the societies excluded from the main civilization by saying, “This is not the worst yet.” It is clear that we face a political relationship. When there is a desire to suppress any act of democratic force against the civilization the dissidents are starved, then they are made to beg and only then are they fed. This is one of the oldest tactics of war: If you want to seize control of a people or a city, you first put them under siege and then you starve them. They shall be fed only if they surrender.

There are many examples which we can use to prove that the essence of the fake depression theories of capitalism is nothing but this starvation technique. An analysis of the infamous depression of the 1930s will help us understand the logic. What happened there? The Soviet Union, who did not accept the hegemony of England, was becoming a permanent and successful regime, at the same time threatening the capitalist world. The Germans and their allies were in resistance against the treaty of surrender that was imposed on them. China, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, was conducting a massive peasant rebellion. Around the world, including in Anatolia, colonized and semi-colonized countries rebelled through growing national resurrection movements against the English hegemony. The response of the English world hegemony was the deliberate depression that started in 1929. On the one hand, there were piles of goods; on the other, starved peoples and workers. The redress proposed by John Maynard Keynes of England reveals it all-a chance of survival for the world’s workers and peoples that resembled breadcrumbs, the so-called social state policies. What was the end result of these capitalist social state policies? Gradually, the world democratic society that began with the September Soviet Revolution was assimilated, distorted, and its development impeded until, in the 1990s, the Soviet system was eventually subverted from within. These policies were initiated in the 1930s at the time of Stalin’s anti-democratic policies-indeed, his dictatorship. Why? Ostensibly to eliminate the 1930 depression. What was eventually eliminated? Stalin, his successors, and the Soviet economy. What was the result? States that had succeeded in their national liberation struggles were drained of their social Contents (that is, from the democratic revolution and democratic society) and integrated within the hegemonic capitalist system. Clearly, elimination of resistance against the hegemonic system is the main objective of these depressions and, through deliberate state policies, such an objective was met with the Great Depression: the hegemonic system was maintained –at least, a critical phase was overcome.

2. Crises of famine and disaster

lf the production of goods can be stopped deliberately, or humanity’s despair in the face of illnesses and disasters can be exploited. Given our modern technical tools and equipment, a serious famine or epidemic is unthinkable. But when there is an existential crisis for the hegemonic system, such artificial depressions are generated and illnesses and disasters are used against dissidents. Once again, we see the link between the device called “capitalist economy and society” and the power of the official hegemonic civilization. Once again, the siege method is used: Starve them, exploit any epidemic or disaster situation, and then step in as the liberating angel (or god). Your servants shall praise you abundantly, Sir!

3. Engineering of war and peace

Capitalism is not just anti-economy but also anti-society. Theoretically, it is not possible for the entire society to become capitalist, as Rosa Luxemburg proved decades ago. If every society is divided into two, workers and capitalists, you cannot produce goods for the sole purpose of making profits! A very rough example of this is a factory with 100 workers manufacturing 100 cars. The society consists of the 100 workers plus the one capitalist(because the society consists only of workers and capitalists –what we call “pure capitalist society”; this is of course the mistake made by at least some Marxists). To realize a profit100 cars must be sold. Let’s say the 100 workers buy the cars from their salaries. What is the owner left with? Nothing. So, for civilizational society to sustain itself, there is a need for the continuous existence of, as I call it, the anti-civilizational democratic society that does not become capitalist. Capitalist civilization, as the new hegemonic power. can only continue its existence by being anti-democratic~society. In times of action against it, this need intensifies and civilizational society can only exist by being an enemy to democratic society-either through waging war or through making peace. There are innumerable events and wars throughout civilizational history, including capitalist history, that confirm this.

4. The unemployment crisis

Capitalism as a system must keep an army of unemployed in order to keep the profit margin (obtained from the surplus-value) high. If there is no unemployment, it must be created: unemployment is an intentionally created process. The most ordinary animal and plant have their uses; how then can a human be left unemployed and rendered useless?Indeed, there is no room for the concept of unemployment in the universe. However,unemployment is artificially created as a distorted product of analytical intelligence-the most savage act of social life. Unemployment is continuously fed. No event exposes the capitalist system’s animosity to the economic life better than unemployment. There has never been a concept such as the unemployed slave, even during the pharaohs’ regime that we criticize so harshly. Only in capitalism does one have unemployment, that is, an implacable animosity against economy.

5. Refusal to resolve the economic crisis

Capitalism is also the enemy of economic technique. The present level of science and technology is so highly developed that it has the ability to sustain any society, both in terms of its political system in the form of democratic society, and to resolve all its economic problems. The capitalist system’s law of profit prevents the optimal application of science and technology from meeting the need of the people. The current level of science and technology have the capacity required to find various solutions for an economy that is based on the needs of human nutrition. But the law of profit does not allow this capacity to be used. On the contrary, capitalist civilization sustains itself by generating continuous crises, unemployment, and overpopulation. Hence, capitalism is not only the enemy of the economy but also of the science and technical development that can bring about an economy that functions at the optimal level.

6. Exchanging morality for capitalist principles

Capitalism is also the enemy of morals and moral values, which are the fundamental principles of economy. Humanity can only see to its own economic needs if guided by the principles of morals. In the absence of morals the entire society will be lionized, leaving no cattle-like people. But this will mean the end of time. That is, if capitalism cannot be restricted and eventually stopped, it will turn the society either into a society of ants (like inChina and Japan), thus bringing the society to the brink of collapse, or into a society of lions(like the society in the US). Clearly, if all societies are to become like those of the US, orChina and Japan, the continuation of human societies is less likely. Capitalism has indeed sacrificed the moral principle for the principle of the capitalist “economy.” In the past, some societies sacrificed female children because they were “redundant”; if such morals exist, the society may be sustained through the sacrifice of human beings. If we only realized that war waged tor the sake of capitalism is but the ritual of human sacrifice, we would understand what immorality we face in the guise of the principle of the capitalist “economy.” This immorality destroys not only the inner social fabric of society, but it subjugates the environment and nature to the extent that not only human life but all animate life is under threat. What could be more immoral and hostile towards living beings than this?

7. Suppression of women

Capitalism is also the enemy of the woman-the creator of economy and, as our analysis shows, the fundamental force in the economy. However, throughout civilizational history,she has been pushed out of life. The most brutal period began when, with the start of the capitalist civilization phase, she was ousted from the economy. Thus, until the NeolithicPeriod woman was the one who “manages the household, the economy,” woman’s reality now is that of “one destitute of economy.” This is the most striking and profound social paradox. The female population of the world has been left overwhelmingly unemployed.Although housework is the most difficult of work, it is seen as valueless. Although childbirth and child rearing are the most exacting of tasks, they are not always regarded as valuable but often as mere trouble. On top of being an unemployed childbearing and child raising machine that is inexpensive to obtain and can be run cost free, the woman can be used as scapegoat, carrying the guilt for all that is wrong. Throughout the history of civilization, she has been placed on the ground floor of society. During the capitalist period, she is the object of inequality, freedomless-ness, and democracyless-ness, not only at the ground level but at all levels. Moreover, the capitalist system has developed the rule of sexist society-its intensity and focus unmatched at any other time in history. This ruling has become so widespread and multiplied that the woman has been turned into the object and subject of the sex industry. This torturous approach has been spread across all social strata. In turn, the male dominated society has been allowed to reach its peak during the capitalist civilization, taking its revenge on the one who “manages the household, the economy” and proving its hostility to women and the economy. Indeed, no other society has had the power to develop and systemize the exploitation of the woman and the economy to the degree that capitalism has.

8. Economy turned into a paper game

Capitalism exceedingly proves that it has nothing to do with real economy. In its current phase, the global phase, its hostility towards the economy has reached its peak when it turned economy into the money and paper game of stock, exchange, and interest rates.Never before in the long history of civilization could the economy have been turned into such paper games, to the extent that it has been transformed into a virtual system. In the past, it was seen as the most sensitive element of society, and sacredness (its roots go back as far as the Sumerian society) was always attributed to it. Nourishment was seen as the primary problem that needed to be resolved. Every religion has an economic pledge as an aspect of its elucidation, the festivals are celebrated in commemoration of economic abundance, or at least of overcoming crisis. Economy, which is so important that it can be viewed as the sum of the factors that can influence all areas of society, has lost its position as the focus area of the emotional and analytical intelligence. The result is that the economy has become dependent on the money and paper games, that it has been transformed into the most irresponsible area of analytic-speculative intelligence. As Marx rightly pointed out,economy has become detached from real life and has been turned into speculative gambling. Without any need for labor, just by fluctuating the exchange and interest rates and stock prices, billions of dollars exchange hands globally. While half of the human population is bordering on the poverty and starvation line, it is hard to imagine any other system so in opposition to the real economy. Capitalism, in its present so-called “age of finance,” has once again proven what an irrelevant, anti-economy, and hostile system it is.

9. Crises of production and consumption

By taking direct control of them, capitalism radically breaks away from the essential structures of the two main areas of economy: production and consumption. This is done through the policy of maximizing profits hy generating production and consumption crises. This includes a devastatingly high level of armament manufacture (especially of nuclear armaments), continued investment in high profit yielding carbon-based energy supplies(despite its destruction of the environment), genetically modified agricultural products,space technology, big investments in ground, marine, and air travel (despite it being very expensive and the massive pollution it causes), and an unwarranted investment in various trendy goods. Thus, on the one hand there are heaps of goods that became redundant because the consumer no longer finds them attractive; on the other hand, there is the death of millions through starvation and illness, because they, the armies of unemployed, have no consumer power!

The hostility and harm done by capitalism is unequaled by any war or natural disaster in history. This “economic” form called capitalism realizes itself by suppressing and exploiting economy and by changing its chemistry.

Undoubtedly, much substantiating analysis is needed in respect to the points raised above. However, as this is my defenses before the court, l will have to leave it at this. I will, however,continue to expose other aspects of capitalism as a civilizational phase in the following section it was definitely the movement of the poor and the escaped slaves.
