Footnote to the post titled “A Hard Money-Grubbing Upstart”

And when we ponder on the question of whether there is an alternative to Western capitalist social relations, we come across China with its mixed system. The Chinese system organizes the productive forces of society instead of leaving it to the anarchy and “Social Darwinism” of Western society whereby everything is reduced to an individual struggle for existence. Much of the world now has an alternative to the social antagonisms which are brought about by Western capitalist social relations. Afghanistan – the “Saudi Arabia of tech” with its trillions upon trillions of dollars worth of natural resources and wealth – is an important and significant case whereby an alternative has been adopted as a result of the very basic character and nature of Western capitalist social relations. Afghanistan is no longer in the hands of the United States. Afghanistan is now largely in the hands of China. Afghanistan and China both prove that the liberal bourgeoisie class and the state which is used as an instrument of exploitation and domination by the liberal bourgeoisie class become superfluous when people can muster up the energy to organize the productive forces of society and replace the antagonisms which arise in society as a result of Western capitalist social relations.
