That is why we need Chinese style socialisim where patriotisim comes before
profitism.
Joint Venturisim is not captalisim, it is socialisim or do you want to argue
about it?

50% of all Americans receive money from the government.
In 20% of American households nobody has a job. How do they survive?
Here are some of them shopping at Walmart:

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and
goes to the next phase
Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish
scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total
substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in
other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking
place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would
happen after its completion.
The true picture behind unemployment
From a latest article in PressTV:
“Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working
age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent
of all families in the United States do not have a single member
that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim
that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?”
“Well, it all comes down to how you define who is
'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another
988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.”
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/05/04/361323/27-million-americans-are-unemployed/
102(!) million working age Americans that do not have a
job right now? 20%(!) of all families in the US do not have a
single member that is employed? Do you find these numbers
exaggerated? Maybe not, if you read the following story by the
"eye-witness" Yanis Varoufakis.
What is going on in front of our eyes?
Yanis Varoufakis in his article "What if the capital of
future doesn't need us?", describes what he saw in Austin-Texas
and what that means:
“While I was watching from my window in Austin-Texas, I
saw a big cloud of dust deep in horizon. Two days ago, I was
walking in that area and I was surprised by the view of the big
factory where bulldozers and machines were continuously working,
producing the dust. From the front side of the building under
construction it was obvious that (fortunately) they were not
building a new trade center or apartment blocks. No, it was a big
industrial center.”
“Although I didn't notice it the first time, after a few
seconds I realised that something was missing from this
factory: people! Specifically, I counted three. All of them were
wearing helmets and protection suits and were located in a small
office in a space outside with a few computers, while they were
covered by a tent like those used by the army. Ten bulldozers,
three cranes and more or less ten moving tools, at least from what
I could see, were moving without drivers, operators, workers
generally.”
“When I returned to my office, I went straight to find a
colleague who knows well what's going on. He informed me that
the workplace I saw, was the new factory of Apple to produce
MacBook Pro. It was true that, it was constructed through almost
complete automatization. The materials had been selected through a
way with which, the automatic machines - therefore robots
connected to eachother through a local wireless network (intranet)
- to be able to construct without human interference - even the
hydraulic structure of the building will be constructed by
plumpers-robots. A factory that under normal conditions
should employ thousands of workers is functioning with the
presence of less than one hundred souls.”
“I asked him about the move of Apple to produce computers
in America, by bringing back in the US the production from
China for the first time after decades. 'How's that?' And the
answer was the expected one, although quite impressive: 'Wages are
of no importance. The export of productive processes from America
to China (off-shoring) was only an intermediate stage. The
production has returned to America, but not the jobs. The new
factory of Apple, not only is constructed without American
workers' sweat, but will also produce MacBook Pro through complete
automatization, without hiring Texans. Welcome to the New,
Brave World', ended with a smile, referring obviously to the
Brave New World of Aldous Huxley.”
“When bulldozers and plumpers-robots that at this moment
build the new factory of Apple, will start to learn from
eachother and cooperate inside a robotic network, even the few
jobs concerning the operation of these robots will vanish. In case
that these armies of interconnected machine slaves belonged to
everyone, thus if everyone had the right to benefit from the goods
that they produce, then no problem. What should be done, however,
in case that these machine slaves, the capital of future, belong
(like the most of today's capital) to the very few, while
at the same time most of the people do not have access in the
goods they produce and an opportunity to work for a (human) wage?”

Capital "hyperaccumulation" : Useful for the next stage
Economic crises are used to destroy big competitors and
keep the value of money high, through capital
"hyperaccumulation". Capital "hyperaccumulation", however, is also
used to fund the next stage of the destructive capitalism which is
hyper-automatization.
How all these connected to the Greek experiment?
How long a society could tolerate an unemployment rate of
30% - 50% without uprising that could bring an "instability"
to the system? When unemployment rate for the young people has
reached 60%? When pensions and wages have been cut? How much the
unemployment benefit should be cut in order to allow people to
survive and consume without uprising? How many could be left
totally helpless without any kind of social benefit? How much the
mainstream media propaganda affects people in order to
stay scared inside their homes without uprising?
The new nightmarish facts in Greek experiment could be
proved quite useful for the big companies that hyper-automatize
production and seek to remove the human labor costs.
Someone has to consume
The big question is: If all the production will be
automatized (even the services sector), who will consume the
products? Are we going to a model that most of the people will be
receiving unemployment benefits just to survive and consume?
In overpopulated developing countries there are huge
potential consumer tanks. Their consuming power will rise and the
complete automatization of the production there will take decades.
However, the suitable conditions should be created first, in the
aged and saturated West, in order a limit in wages to be
established and the expansion of the Western social state model to
be prevented because all these things mean an additional cost for
the global economic oligarchy:
http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/12/an-imaginary-dialogue-between-bosses.html
The new model could lead to a future Dystopia beyond any
fantasy:
“In the middle of the pyramid, a restructured class will
serve and secure the domination of the top. Corporate
executives, big journalists, scientific elites, suppression
forces. It is characteristic that academic research is directed on
the basis of the profits of big corporations. Funding is directed
increasingly to practical applications in areas that can bring
huge profits, like for example, the higher automatization of
production and therefore, the profit increase through the
restriction of jobs.”
“The base of the pyramid will be consisted by the
majority of workers in global level, with restricted wages, zero
labor rights, and nearly zero opportunities for activities other
than consumption.”
“However, the most horrific thing of all will be the
expansion of the lower social level, consisted by millions of
people all over the planet, which will be left without any kind
of help, dying in extreme poverty, since the global economic
elite will secure its domination through the oversupply of labor
force and consumers.
Unfortunately, already, the human life increasingly lose
value...”

Are they all, so well designed?
Probably not. One can imagine, more or less, what is being
discussed in closed rooms of economic forums and Bilderberg
conferences behind cameras, but that does not mean that the
designers of the new world order can build everything in detail.
In many cases in the past, predictions and designs of
various think tanks have failed because there is no perfect
theory that can predict everything with accuracy and include all
the unexpected facts.
It is obvious that the subsection of the global economic
oligarchy in Greece, fears a possible "accident" in euro
elections since things are not going well for the traditional
parties in power which support the local capital, and this is
depicted in the way that the mainstream media propaganda
culminates as we get closer to the euro elections day.
This means that, the struggle of people against the future
Dystopia in not futile at all ...
