In case everyone was wondering. The inclusive capitalism appears to be a feudal system combined with a fascist system and communist system.
Essentially, there will be a merging of the business class with the political class. Corporations and Politicians becoming one and the same. Rather than companies increasing shareholder value there will be a greater emphasis on the national and international interest. This is how it relates to fascism.
The governments/corporations will offer the people socialist style programs such as public healthcare, education etc... while enforcing cultural marxism in society with all the social justice things that average people care about. The end result is that most people are going to earn relatively the same as everyone else and have a similar standard of living with minimal inequality among the average people as well as minimal social mobility. People won't realize the true benefits of their labour since most of the product of their labour is redistributed to someone else. This is how it mimics communism.
Contrary to ideal communism, you will have an upper class of wealthy elite who will have special privilege in society as you are already seeing with the mask mandates, vaccines passports, etc... The rules won't apply to the wealthy elite like they do average people. In this regard, it mimics feudalism, where everyone is working to enhance the wealth of an upper class who have recognition in society as being of a different class.
This new system will be fairly totalitarian in nature. The wealthy elite will dictate morality through their collectivist systems of control. Corporate culture brainwashing, academic brainwashing, media brainwashing etc... Democratic voting will be mostly in illusion of control. Most politicians will be among this upper class and/or bought off by the upper class. Most citizens will be brainwashed by the indoctrination systems in place to always vote for the upper class's interests instead of their own while thinking it's their own interest.
We've been moving this direction as a society for decades and this is just the next eventually step in the process.
This is the smartest thing I've ever read on TDW. I will go now and read all your comments. Curious... How would you define communism, feudalism, and fascism?
Also curious while I have a man crush on you...whats your background? Are you a political scientist?
BCom Finance and Accounting Double Major. Completed the CFA and FRM designations. I work in banking. I was originally in computer science before I switched majors. I've read philosophy my whole life. I've probably read more philosophy books than your average philosophy major. Politics has always been an interest of mine.
To answer your first question, each of those systems have extremely broad definitions and it's highly subjective. It depends entirely on what perspective you want to take. The purpose of a label in anything is to categorize something in order to easily identify it. In order to properly define these terms, one needs to ask themselves what the purpose of the definition is. Only then can you properly define it.
Regardless, I can try a quick summary for you.
Fascism: A system that recognizes differences between humans and the inequality in outcome these differences lead to; thus fascism is a just system in that regard. This justice is observed in its economic system and social system. Fascism recognizes individuality and individualism as it pertains to a person's autonomy to determine their own fate; however, this individualism must not and cannot supersede the will of the State. In this regard fascism is a system where people's lives are devoted to the State as their primary purpose with individuality being secondary to the State. Morality is objective as defined by the State with a purpose of enhancing the State's strength and power. This transcends into the realm of production and thus fascism, while there exists capital, is effectively communism or socialism because the State directs what and how what you "own" should be used for. However, in times of no national crisis one could presume that there would be more autonomy in fascism than communism in one's enterprising.
Feudalism: Basic definition I suppose is having set classes and roles/privileges within society as defined by the class. In modern times one might expand this definition to include relationships between groups of people that aren't codified and recognized as classes as readily as historic feudalism was. In this regard you might consider our system similar in the sense that a trust fund baby is a feudal lord and a person who must work to earn a living the serf. I wouldn't go this far. I would suggest there are similarities though. The way in which a Hollywood actor or politician in our society is treated when they break the law vs. a white male conservative is another example of similarities. Also, our system which almost forces people to become indebted through requiring educations that act as nothing more than a piece of paper or rite of passage but aren't necessarily needed to gain certain classes of careers and lifestyles thus being indebted to the system, of which you pay huge taxes on and can never truly escape has similarities.
Communism: This one is trickier because there's essentially the romanticized version of communism that always lives in the minds of idealists or "purists" and then communism the term how it has been used by governments to label their system of government. At a theoretical sense, communism is basically a society without capital,, which is that everyone in the society owns everything (means of production only not your toothbrush) or rather no one owns anything. In theory, given this, everyone should earn relatively similar benefits for their labour because there doesn't exist an owner class that earns significantly more return for the amount of work they put in than laborers. Morality can be anything. In practice communism has essentially been where the government owns everything and provides for its citizens what the government thinks its citizens should have with none to some limited amount of free enterprise to provide some sense of personal autonomy for the population. Morality tends to be objective and defines by the State similar to fascism. Individualism tends to be vilified and communism takes a far more collectivist view of society than even fascism. Inequality is something that is generally not well regarded in any aspect because to admit inequality in any aspect of life admits that perhaps the outcome in regards to resources should in fact be significantly different depending on the value of one's contribution.
Amazing... I'm writing a book right now. Can I use some of this? I'll give you a few copy of it after. 🙏 I read all your posts. Loved your post with the BYS thing. Really good stuff.
