Someday recession will end and capitalism will return to profit for another period of time. Once again those with capital will make shed loads of money and we will return to long hours, rising prices and false promises, all before the next collapse and economic recession.
This has been the pattern of modern society for over a hundred years, the pattern our parents and our grandparents went through, the pattern that bred fascism and the slaughters of world war two, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to name a few.
It is this pattern of boom followed by bust that is fundamental to capitalism even if in each new boom some will choose to believe this logic has been escaped- but it has not.
Unless the system is changed it will be a pattern that our children and grandchildren will also endure. But now in some-ways things have become worse.
Capitalism in its boom periods has started to exhaust the planets resources and poison the air and water supplies that we all depend upon.
The irrationality in the drive for profits no longer simply threatens us with recession and war when things go wrong, it now threatens the ability of the earth to support the existing and future populations of humanity
