Wasn't it always like that? Capitalism bases on extraction and destruction - accumulating capital thereby externalising the cost of exploited nature and wage workers - the growth of productivity led to multiplying problems we're confronted today in late stage capitalism:So imo capitalism was always "catabolic" but of course the discrepancies increase faster exposing a growing number of human and nonhuman animals to the danger of extinction.The system of nation states is obviously not up for the task of mitigating the polycrisis quite the contrary - all are up in arms as if the other were the eternal enemy not realizing that all living beings are trapped in a metabolic rift between surviving and being being consumed by the flames of productivity growth burning away like motor in full speed without any gear chosen. #AI #capitalism #war #climate https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/06/23/catabolic-capitalism-profiting-from-collapse/
