The lack of affordable housing, a refusal to pay workers a living wage, the push to dismantle and privatize successful government programs like the Postal Service, Social Security, and Medicare. What does it all mean?These are all 'signs of the times,' a portent of the End Times...of capitalism.Capitalism, an economic system dependent on the exploitation of workers and the environment, is doomed to failure. It’s only lasted as long as it has because those who benefit most, a mere 1% of the population, wield an ungodly amount of power.They pit the rest of us against each other, ban books, restrict our bodily autonomy, and buy the loyalty of judges, justices, and politicians. They monopolize mainstream media and frame every discussion of problems to disguise the truth-that capitalism creates inequality as a primary function, not a glitch in the system.In these essays, author Johnny Townsend (Recommended Daily Humanity) helps us adapt to the new reality that awaits as late-stage capitalism collapses around us.
