The biggest contradiction in American Capitalism is not the industrial proletariat and the bourgeoisie anymore. With the industrial basis of the USA dying mostly out, as seen from the rust belt, we can see this industrial basis being diverted to the third world.
Now of course this has cause MASSIVE domestic economic issues, and while yes the national bourgeoisie has benefited from not having to deal with constant strikes and coal wars, it now has to deal with an uncompetitive economy with no backboard of stability to lay on, other then.. the commodity of oil, the only commodity that still holds inherent value because of its extremely vital role to the development of capitalism, almost every other resource commodity that has been used, whether Diamonds being produced in labs, or gold being mass mined, are no longer the centre of exchange, ONLY OIL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PETRODOLLAR. oh and also some of the petite-bourgeoisie but they play a smaller, and dying role.
Truly the biggest contradiction in America is the contradiction between the national bourgeoisie, what can be called the “federal” bourgeoisie, and the international bourgeoisie who controls oil!
It is in the best interest of the national bourgeoisie to hold the global oil supply themselves, as it would retain American domination internationally, thereby preventing the internal contradiction of the petite and state bourgeoisie, or the unemployed, from causing collapse.
There I just explained why the Iran war is happening your welcome use this as a copypasta now
4 posts omitted.>>2873966I kinda feel like the Iran debacle IS WWIII but no one’s willing to go nuclear (as in actually use the thing on the battlefield)
>>2873979How fucked is everyone if we really can't access the oil?
Like I know it means food doesn't ship, many billion dollar industries like Amazon are suddenly worthless pipe dreams, production halts, it's fucking total annihilation until economies localize to recover and even then it'll never be the same. But how much does this realistically hurt the vast majority and who does it hurt the most?
Like would it make Elon Musk put a gun to his head? I really don't wanna go without vaping but I'll endure if it makes Elon Musk put a gun to his own head
Stores in America only have like 3 days worth of food supplies so if oil collapses it'll shutter food imports and production and if the damage is dragged out long enough we'll get revolution
>>2874791The US is an oil exporter, they can take command of the supply and wheather a crisis. The truly fucked countries are like always the third world importers who don't have the cash to pay oil at a premium
the working class is not only employed in industrial manufacturing.
Ghosts are not being exploited by the bourgeoisie in the USA.
