1/8Just like any other religious cult would, capitalism has been at its final stage for sometime, and it has turned itself into a doomsday cult.  Believers would scream that the end is near—every scream, however, is a desperate cry to prolong the life of the dying cult.
2/8This tendency can be observed even among the dissidents who prefer to operate within the capitalist framework no matter what.  When the fear of system crumbling down on them gets bigger than anything else, the fear manifests as a wish for the end of the world.
3/8The ruling class cleverly utilizes this collective death wish in herding people into yet another scheme of profiteering, austerity, repression, exploitation and subjugation.
4/8We are told that the earth will end in 12 years—only to be subjected to fraudulent carbon capture schemes and unsustainable “green capitalism”.
5/8We are told that the deadly new plague will kill us all—only to find oppressed people even more oppressed with draconian measures while our humanity and our environment are digitized for harvesting.
6/8We are told that AI will dominate humanity—only to find the ruling class firmly in charge of good old schemes of exploitation and subjugation, blinding our ability to see through the mechanism of capitalism.
7/8Capitalism is a structural arrangement of our society colonizing our humanity and nature constantly, systemically and structurally.  What does a death cult look like in its final stage? What does a wolf look like when it cries wolf? Do we see an arsonist playing a firefighter?
8/8Do we see capitalism on fire from its contradiction as humanity stands strong resisting the exploitation and subjugation? When we see capitalism for what it is, it is not the time to dream of zombie apocalypse survival, it is the time to declare “workers of the world, unite!”.
