“Nothing could more clearly reveal the utter irrationality of the capitalist system”, writes Nick Beams, "than the fact that the production of cheaper goods in greater quantities, thereby increasing material wealth and advancing measures to deal with climate change, is a danger.”
Well, but China’s cheaper goods are a product not just of better organization or technology but of considerably cheaper labor. The most advanced production is a threat not only to rival capitalists but to the working class. Western capital may be endangered by China’s “unfairly low” prices, but it too takes full advantage of super-exploited Chinese labor. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
