Yeah, but, you know, if you actually look at how capitalism used to work, right, before the Great Depression, you know, all through the 1800s, like there was a Great Depression every decade.
And they were way more severe than the Great Depression in a lot of ways.
Huge chunks of the population starving because the entire capitalist system just shut down.
And all of those crashes, just like the Great Depression, were basically caused by overproduction.
Machines getting really efficient, producing tons and tons of stuff,
the financial bubbles are mixed in.
So, you know, you have financial bubbles around whatever new technology is out there.
Is this sounding familiar?
Um, and, and, uh, but, you know, and so the, the, the thing that we forgot, you know, we, we can't, we can't, it's, we, we haven't experienced this with capitalism, a moment when capitalism runs out of customers.
Right.
And like the same way that, that
An animal needs oxygen to breathe.
Capitalism needs customers.
And it's so basic and simple, like it's such a stupid thing to say, but it's absolutely true and it's inescapable.
And so this is what, you know, has basically caused, you know, long periods of unemployment and economic catastrophe in the past.
when, you know, capitalism builds out too much stuff in a bubble and then they realize it, you know, it was all silly and there's not enough, uh, people to buy.
People don't have the money to buy this stuff.
So they start laying people off.
Well, that's, it's a self-fulfilling cycle, right?
It's a, that's a, everybody needs to understand this because this is what's going to be happening.
