  • An old axiom: Marx was wrong in everything he wrote about socialism, but absolutely right in his analysis and description of capitalism. I am no communist, rather a social democrat, but i can see that the market economy has morphed into corporatism. Oligarchs rule the industrialized economies thru their political stooges of all major parties(including the British Labour Party) and the real market economy is smothered by ever incr corporate concentration.

  • Stock up on a few months of whole wheat and freeze dried food if you can.

  • @madmankitchen the fact that many countries no longer produce items that now are made in china and the asian tiger countries doesnt equal a falling economy for western countries, it merely means that production shifts as a result of ricardian model of international trade. as a matter of fact its mutually beneficial for the economies on the whole, albeit possibly negative for the individuals holding unskilled jobs in production

  • holy crap.

  • @jscottupton No, it's military.
