Question

Global socio-political-economic structures adominated by the Capitalist/Neocapitalist states.What can be done to bring about a Capitalist/Socialist compromise?Global warming,degradation of the planet and human distantiation from nature are directly linked to the Capitalist entreprise!Discuss

Answer 1

Globalisation from the Capitalist perspective is the transfer of capital and trading on the global market place. The side that will change the Capitalist face of Globalisation is migration of people to fill those jobs created by Capital investment.

India and China were recipients of Capital investment but now inwards investment is heating up those economies and the West can no longer control them, they threatened to start their own Far East Bank. Both countries are socialist.

socialist South American Countries are breaking away from a cycle of trade with North America because globalisation has opened up the market place.

Food miles or the distance that food travels to reach the end use has increased through globalisation of the market place. The increased distance travelled has a detrimental effect on planet resources and the amount of green house gases increases.

Cicero wrote a book "The Good Life" on the Industrialisation of Rome and how the Romans were getting away from nature. Man has always preferred to look at Nature through a window. That has meant construction, materials and trading.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe Karl MArx was right. In the true sense, Marks was the best economist and he predicted what are the outcomes of these capitalist countries. Till day some of the stuff that has been going on in the world was all predicted by Marx, not like this country will face this and this country will face this, but on te basis of what is going to happen. Today capitalism contributes to new companies, fight for oil, and 16 yrs ago the cold war which was responsible to create soo mayn nuclear bombs. We used that fuel and stuff and have polluted the planet. Now the planet is going to play us. Adn also thse new companies keep developing things in the name of capitalism and sometime we won't need humans to do anything. Easier for us but then the robots will have the powe thus a new epoch. Were stil trying to find a way to survive. and these things that capitalism is doging. like political regin and control is messing wit the world and the environment. It makes a few individuals in cahrge of everything and the rest suffer the consequences.sohis approach to communism was right. Too mayn peoplee and corruption was somethign he didn't expect

Answer 3

Wow, your full of it. Stop listening to left wing lecturers.
I don't like compromises and Socialism/Communism has been proven over and over again not to work. Capitalism, with checks and balances, is the most suitable system for human beings to live and operate under. Global warming, is simply being used to attack Capitalism. If a super volcano went off, it would probably blow us all to kingdom come. And the earth wouldn't give a damn.

Given that we have a revolutionery totalitarian Government in this country, I think that Capitalism is already under attack. The Socialists, as usual, are well on their way to destroying the country.

Answer 4

Karl Marx got most of it wrong, except on one point...that the workers should buy shares in the companies where they worked, thus they would eventually own the means of production.
Socialism, as practised in Britain - the Labour party, has little or nothing to do with communism. In fact, the Labour party owes more to the Methodist Church, than it does to Karl Marx.

Answer 5

Global consensus brought about by an organization like the UN where all nations seek the good of all humanity.

Quite frankly you have better odds of seeing a winged pig flying through frozen hell on the former planet PLUTO.

Answer 6

Socialism destroys every country. Watch what happens to Western Europe, socialism will turn them into Third World Nations in 20 years.

Look what Capitalism has done for the USA. We are the richest country in the world. The state of CA has a bigger GNP than most countries.
We have so much money and live so good that we support most of the world.
Why????? CAPITALISM.
Honey, you are so out of it, that I feel sorry for you.
Study harder in school. Study economics. Learn.

Answer 7

Wow... you really believe that? You see what happened to the Soviet Union? And little things like Chernobyl and other environmental disasters? And you might want to check on things like mine safety in China (another Marxist/Leninist state)... Most of the third world pollutes at a far greater rate that we do. The only thing that socialism does is make people equally miserable.

Answer 8

He picked up a phone in a hotel room asked for room service, and when they aswered he replied "Hello, room servce, send me up a room"

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

Now there's a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here!

Answer 9

I believe it will happen some day. Many centuries from now. When the masses finally understand how capitalism affects class structure. And when people are finally fed up with greed and the constant warring it produces.

Answer 10

Don't just post your essay title, ask one question at a time in such a way that someone can reasonably answer it.

However, I agree with answerer below who said everything ends some time. I find it weird how capitalism hasn't existed forever, yet some people seem to think it will last forever. Why should it?
