$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', 'G')lobal liquidity follows growth. That has always been the pattern. It's not a capitalist or Marxist issue beyond the fact that capitalist systems respond more quickly to emerging growth, which results in viral outcomes.
More important than traditional capitalist/communist divides is the fact that information and automation technologies have changed the rules, in a big way.
We'll end up with a blow up or a bigger bloom.
Global liquidity is capital is human surplus value is commodfication. There is no commodification in communism as the cornucopian function of capital is the commodification of resources for personal or private gain (peak resourcing).
Information and automation is simply seeking to avoid the use of human labour in order to maximise profit. One of capitalism's contradictions therefore, in as much as capital also requires a consuming capable force, is that it must thus labourise them, always, where the means to dispense with them (automation) exists.
This should make the capitalist/communist distinction clearer to you I hope and place automation in context. As for information, it is another commodity. Expect open spurce to eventually be corporatised.
