“the walls of the feudal lord’s stomach set the limits to his exploitation of the peasant”. Karl Marx
But capitalists are different to feudal lords, there is no limit to their exploitation of both the human and natural environment.
Unlike feudal lords, capitalists are not driven by greed, but by fear.
The fear of being driven out of the market, by being out competed by their rivals.
It’s not personal wealth that drives capitalists (though none of them are averse to it), but the competitive nature of the system, itself.
it is this imperative to accumlate as much wealth as possible to out compete your rivals that drives every capitalist enterprise to maximise the exploitation of people and planet.
Their fear is driven by the ever present risk of bankruptcy and penury.
Capitalists fear bankruptcy at the hand of their rivals more than they fear death, which is why they must strive for maximum profits, way above their needs desires, no matter how extravagant those needs may be. personal space program. no problem.. Elon Musk has a personal fortune of US$330 billion. Even at his current rate of exorbitant consumption, Elon Musk could never consume all that wealth. The huge expenditure on his personal space program, hasn’t kept up with his rate of accumulation.
But Musk could lose his massive fortune tomorrow if some Chinese version of Elon Musk took over the global market for EVs and put him out of business.
Which is why enough is never enough.
Just like Winnie, lots of noise no results.
