Selling the capitalist system


What should not be let out sight in cataloguing the
crimes of capitalism is the plain fact that
underpinning and rationalising the ?morality? of the
capitalist way of life is an economic system that is
in a permanent state of crisis, lurching from boom to
bust and with every crisis the stark reality that to
maintain the rate of profit it must, perforce, extract
ever more from our labours.


To justify this process, it must on the one hand, seek
to justify and cover up the robbery and on the other,
create the right conditions for an ever-increasing
rate of profit, whether by ?fair? means or foul. What
the history of the United States reveals is that
capitalism, when left to its own devices is a system
run by a gangster class whose actions as Woodiwiss so
clearly demonstrates, makes the affairs of the ?Mafia?
pathetic and amateur copies of those whose ?morality?
they essentially seek to emulate.


Gangster Capitalism is a devastating exposé of the
blanket propaganda we have been subjected to for
generations; propaganda that seeks to present the
capitalist system as just, moral and the ?best of all
possible worlds?, when the reality is diametrically
the opposite.
