“The first thing a man will do for his ideal is lie” “Capitalism does not merely mean that the housewife may influence production by her choice between peas and beans; or that plant managers have some voice in deciding what and how to produce: it means a scheme of values, an attitude toward life, a civilization—the civilization of inequality and of the family fortune.”
These people are not interested in creative destruction, they are only interested in destruction.
Nor is it merely expanding in a steady manner.
“Two points in particular must be mentioned. Every. To any mind not warped by the habit of fingering the Marxian rosary it should be obvious that their relation is, in normal times, primarily one of cooperation and that any theory to the contrary must draw largely on pathological cases for verification.
“The public mind has by now so thoroughly grown out of humor with it as to make condemnation of capitalism and all its works a foregone conclusion---almost a requirement of the etiquette of discussion.” No.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of
History is as simple a that.Situations emerge in the process of creative destruction in which many firms may have to perish that nevertheless would be able to live on vigorously and usefully if they could weather a particular storm.The stock exchange is a poor substitute for the Holy Grail.Capitalism stands its trial before judges who have the sentence of death in their pockets.
“إن من سيدفع عجلة التغير من الرأسمالية الى الإشتراكية هم المتعلمين الذين يظنون أنفسهم أنهم أذكى الناس ولكن لا يجدون وظيقة لأن ليس لديهم مهارات للسوق فيقولون إن المشكلة من الرأسمالية ولو أن النظام عادل لكانو هم المتحكمين في الدولة لأنهم هم المتعلمين”
But the intellectuals that formulated their views for them have always told them that they were, without necessarily meaning by it anything precise.” As regards democracy, socialist parties are presumably no more opportunists than are any others; they simply espouse democracy if, as, and when it serves their ideals and interests and not otherwise.
This then, together with the typically capitalist enthusiasm for Efficiency and Service—so completely different from the body of ideas which would have been associated with those terms by the typical knight of old—breeds that “will” within the bourgeoisie itself. Die Schöpferische Zerstörung (auch kreative Zerstörung, engl. ', and 'History is a record of "effects" the vast majority of which nobody intended to produce.' That leads to gas chambers. “Whether a free lance or a party executive or a civil servant, the individual socialist looks upon the advent of socialism, naïvely but naturally, as synonymous with his advent to power. Glenn Beck The Glenn Beck Program, Premiere Radio Networks, 4 October 2011 2. “As a matter of practical necessity, socialist democracy may eventually turn out to be more of a sham than capitalist democracy ever was. Creative destruction, sometimes known as Schumpeter's gale, is a concept in economics which since the 1950s has become most readily identified with the Austrian-born economist Joseph Schumpeter who derived it from the work of Karl Marx and popularized it as a theory of economic innovation and the business cycle. “The exaggeration of the definiteness and importance of the dividing line between the capitalist class in that sense and the proletariat was surpassed only by the exaggeration of the antagonism between them. This is not only because the mass of people are not in a position to compare alternatives rationally and always accept what they are being told. Let us rejoice or else lament the fact as much as everyone of us likes; but do not let us shut our eyes to it.Geniuses and prophets do not usually excel in professional learning, and their originality, if any, is often due precisely to the fact that they do not.For one thing, to predict the advent of big business was considering the conditions of Marx's day an achievement in itself.Schumpeter was the most romantic of economists, and capitalism to his eyes had all the glamor and excitement of a knightly jousting tourney. Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbors, always fighting for a breathing space.
“We always plan too much and always think too little.
“Created by wars that required it, the machine now created the wars it required.”
Thus it reshapes not only our methods of attaining our ends but also these ultimate ends themselves. But it did amount to much during the three decades preceding 1914, because things and souls were ready for that kind of message and neither for a less nor for a more radical one.
I have pointed out before that social legislation or, more generally, institutional change for the benefit of the masses is not simply something which has been forced upon capitalist society by an ineluctable necessity to alleviate the ever-deepening misery of the poor but that, besides raising the standard of living of the masses by virtue of its automatic effects, the capitalist process also provided for that legislation the means “and the will.” The words in quotes require further explanation that is to be found in the principle of spreading rationality. “To begin with, convinced socialists will derive satisfaction from the mere fact of living in a socialist society.4 Socialist bread may well taste sweeter to them than capitalist bread simply because it is socialist bread, and it would do so even if they found mice in it.” We resent a call to thinking and hate unfamiliar argument that does not tally with what we already believe or would like to believe.”
Time. “Wherever autocratic power vanished at an early date—as in the Netherlands and later in England—and the protective interest receded into the background, they swiftly discovered that trade must be free—“free to the nethermost recesses of hell.”
There is a much deeper reason for it.
Socialization means to him that “we” are going to take over.
“The masses have not always felt themselves to be frustrated and exploited. “Capitalism Survive?—I have tried to show that a socialist form of society will inevitably emerge from an equally inevitable decomposition of capitalist society.” The spirit of the times made socialists of them.
