In addition, non-profits are compelled to grow themselves because of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Even if these firms themselves don’t ‘profit’ in the bourgeois sense, they are still subject to the effects of the rising organic composition of capital. That is, machinery vs wages.

Even a business that is not on paper ‘making a profit’ because the extracted value is being valorized is still extracting surplus value.

Labor needed beyond that to sustain the workforce is surplus value, and is obtained by either increasing the time worked or by decreasing the socially-necessary labor time. Valorization of capital (‘reinvestment’) is only done through the extraction of surplus value at the point of production.

‘Non-profits’ also function through the extraction of surplus value
December 5, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Businesses need to be profitable to not go under, actually.
December 4, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Nope, the goal is to extract surplus value.

And this talk of ‘non-monetary benefits’ obscures how proletarianization means rendering people propertyless with no means of subsistence. Capitalism preaches self-reliance while making people reliant.

What? That makes no sense.

The commons in England weren’t even state property. The enclosure of those commons was itself a massive act of the state!

And in Yeltsin’s Russia it was, again, a mass transfer of property committed by a state captured by the bourgeoisie.

It’s also from, like, the 1840s. He did Capital much later.

It’s like debating Darwin’s theories on evolution and not even bothering Origin of Species, instead just reading some stuff he wrote in school.

PSL were the ones who put together the ANSWER coalition back in the 2000s to protest against the GWOT and Iraq. This isn’t them grafting themselves to a movement; in many ways, they are why a movement even exists.

Complain all you want, they are comrades in this struggle.

Capital must continuously commodify more things in order to sustain itself. It’s not even a matter of satisfying real needs.

We are staring down the barrel as a planet.

The collapse of the Soviet Union coincided with the accumulation of capital into private hands. It isn’t that different from the effects of enclosure and industrialization had in England.

The ‘reasonable liberal moderates’ blame social media for telling kids about, like, Gaza and shit. So it’s a rare bit of bipartisanship.

It doesn’t surprise me that poverty spikes during the wave of liberalization in the 90s.

Primitive accumulation tends to do that.

It’s also not really against growth as a concept, but rather the unsustainable use of resources required by growth under capitalism. Degrowth is fine with better technology that leads to more efficiency, which grows the economy by using less resources.

As a term it’s been applied pretty broadly, but in my experience it usually just means… well, eco-socialism. None have ever proposed returning to a subsistence lifestyle, but are more interested in reducing the work week, ending fossil fuel production, redistribution instead of growth…

And this contradiction between 'we have a mode of production that can give everyone lots of stuff' and 'we have a mode of production that means some people must sell their labor power and others profit off it' is what leads to us going beyond capitalism.

Basically, its about how societies contain contradictions and that these contradictions lead to development.

So in this sense, things aren't wholly good or bad; they instead have contradictions. For example, capitalism gives us massive material abundance, yet it also perpetuates class society.
