Capitlaism is an inefficient, wasteful and violent system of production

Here's a good one. We give $20 billion or so of our money to the auto bosses so that they can lay us off, close factories cut wages and destroy communities on order to outperform a worker in Ciudad Juarez who might earn $1/50 an hour. We just gave $7.5 billion last week to the moneylending faction of these folks so they can lend it back to us with interest so we can buy the cars that we make in this new "lean and mean" environment as they call it. This occurs because the work does not pay enough for us to buy them without them lending us the money that we created through the Labor process in the the first place and which, by the rules of this set up, they own.

This is the best system of production there is they tell us. It's so good, they will not provide health care as a social service through the government to which we pay these taxes because it will hurt the private sector, might prove more efficient. Both Democrat and Republican agree. Despite historic authority in the political arena,the Democrats are continuing to drive the conditions of US workers down to the level of the Brazil's and Koreas as a Goodyear exec once said needed to be done.

The state, as Marx once said, is but the executive of the capitalist class, it serves and protects their interests as a whole. It is curbing some excesses that are an embarrassment to them and that threatens the interests of the class as a whole. They make great fanfare over this minor curbing of excesses as millions of us starve or lose homes and livelihoods.

In their serious journals they debate which is a better allocator of capital, their state or private capitalists. We would say neither, it is not theirs to allocate, it is stolen from us. We should own and allocate the surplus value we produce through Labor, workers, the vast majority of us, are the most qualified to allocate it.

Accepting that in our own minds is an important step toward this aim. Building our own political organizations in another. This will become more evident as the Obama administration further savages our living standards.

The California electorate told them in no uncertain terms last week that it has no faith in their political parties. Californian's rejected all the election gimmicks they set us up to vote for that would shift the crisis further on to our shoulders; all except one that is, we voted to cap the capitalist's politicians salaries.

I feel quite proud to be a Californian worker.
