Capitalism and Class Division: How the System Dictates the Rules

In today’s world, capitalism continues to generate conflicts and internal contradictions, primarily affecting the working class (proletariat). Instead of recognizing the systemic causes of their problems, people often get involved in fighting each other, failing to see that the real issue is not individual leaders or rulers but the very nature of the system itself.

The Illusion of Changing Power

The popular notion of “removing Putin” or any other political leader might seem like a solution to many, but this approach is superficial. If you replace one leader with another within the capitalist system, the new leader will face the same challenges and be forced to make similar decisions. The reason lies in the fact that the system dictates the rules, and capitalism leaves no room for “staying idle.” It demands struggle, conflicts, and even wars. The issue is not the individuals in power but the structure of society itself, which generates these conflicts.

Division by False Criteria

The capitalist system actively uses mechanisms of dividing society along various lines—whether language, culture, religion, or values. These divisions are artificial, created with the purpose of maintaining control over society and distracting attention from the real issue: class division.

Every social class seeks to maintain power and advances its own values and norms to control society. But these values are not static—they shift along with changes in the economic foundation (the base) of society. This means that when the base changes, so do the values that define the life of that society.

Capitalism and Fascism: An Inevitable Link

Under capitalism, every state inevitably faces the threat of fascism. Why? Because to preserve itself and its interests, the system is forced to resort to radical measures. In times of crisis or perceived danger, a capitalist state may turn to aggressive forms of control to maintain its power, using violence and repression to keep the system stable.

The Common Heritage of Humanity

However, behind all these processes lies an important realization: the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity is a collective asset, created not by individual personalities or classes but by all of humanity throughout history. Neither Einstein, nor Putin, nor anyone else could have achieved what they did without the contributions of previous generations. This heritage is the result of numerous leaps in development, revolutions, and evolutionary changes.

The historical process is inseparable from human nature. People cannot return to a “wild” state like Mowgli because culture, history, and heritage are an inherent part of human existence. We live in a world where every idea or achievement is built on the experiences of all humanity.

Educating a New Consciousness

The task of society is to educate people from an early age to understand what makes a person human. But it is crucial to recognize one thing: this education must take into account class distinctions so that future generations do not become exploiters or allow others to be exploited.

Educating every person in this understanding is challenging, but it is essential to start with those who are capable of grasping and reflecting on these deep processes. Educated and conscious individuals must realize that class division is the root cause of many conflicts and injustices, and that only by changing the economic system can society’s values be transformed.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the main problem of modern society is the capitalist system, which breeds conflict, violence, and division. However, only those who understand that any social change begins with changes in the economic foundation of society can grasp this. Through a deep understanding of class mechanisms and fostering a new attitude towards culture and society, we can hope to create a more just and humane world where exploitation and violence are left in the past.

By the way, if you are ever bothered by the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, the answer is simple – they are the same thing;)

There is an opinion that an individual is some kind of autonomous thinking being. In fact, it is not the individual who thinks, but the human. In this case, the human is society and its cultural part, human relationships. The brain in this case is just a tool that merges with the human. The simplest example is feral children; such a child can no longer be humanized. They will always remain simply a human animal. For an individual to start thinking like a human, a human environment is necessary. The brain, as matter, reflects this human nature. Therefore, it is important to find such a human environment where human experience has undergone the maximum number of qualitative revolutionary changes in consciousness. Geniuses who have done something great – it is not the merit of the individual, but the merit of the human in its general understanding.

The happiness statistics in the Netherlands work like this: if one person jumps in front of a train, there are more people left who say that the Netherlands is a happy country.

Yesterday, I encountered a real caricatured small-scale bourgeois business. I went to Giethoorn, where a man runs a warehouse with an outlet to the canal, and he keeps boats there. I decided to book a boat in advance. My friends and I arrived a bit early, and we were told there were no boats available, and we’d have to wait 30 minutes, then another 10 minutes. I immediately realized this was a small-scale bourgeois enterprise.

The owner was running between different points in the warehouse — the bar, the cash register, the toilet, and an office desk in another part of the building. Crowds gathered at each point. He deftly collected money — cash, card payments, he had a bag for cash like a vendor. He didn’t care about service or delays; he just said the boat would be ready in 15 minutes – 1 hour, without any reference to a system. Apparently, he has a statistical estimate for such cases in his head. Even the toilet was monetized at 1 euro.

His children were involved in all this. He had about five of them: two helped unload and prepare the boat, the third — a chubby manager like their father — constantly reported the situation, and two worked at the cash register, although they were often absent.

Visiting such places no longer brings me joy.

The described situation shows several signs of capitalism: private ownership of the warehouse and boats, a drive for maximum profit, market relations, exploitation of labor (the owner’s children work for him), and monetization of services, including a paid toilet. The owner is more interested in making money than in satisfying customers, which is also typical of capitalist enterprises.

Новый термин – “вахтинг”. Он означает ждать паспорт в течение 10 лет.
– Чем ты занят?
– Вахтую.

Ghetto Chronicles: From Serpukhov to Moscow

In our ghetto, Serpukhov, there weren’t many people with computers. To get to school, I had to walk through the city where guys were shooting heroin in the stairwells, lighting their spoons with lighters. Half-rotting bodies with glassy eyes could beat you up right there. The pinnacle of luck was getting someone hooked for money.

So, I got invited to an apartment by a local dude who had just started down the path of a junkie. It was hard to refuse. The guys said, “Here’s the computer, it’s not working, sit down and fix it.” But there was nothing to fix – the disk was destroyed. That’s how I ended up in debt, owing a lot of money for mythical tracks that were supposed to make it to the local radio. The whole neighborhood was waiting for a chance to catch me.

I didn’t go to school. In the mornings, I went to an amature radio club instead. I forged a certificate claiming I had bronchitis. I spent nights at my friends’ places. Serpukhov is an Orthodox city, and I loved God. God sent me to Moscow, where my sister and I had to sweep the yard in the mornings to live in the apartment.

In my Instagram, I have added a very high-ranking individual who used to work at…. This person posted about the need for people to be kinder, contrasting with the barbarity amidst the flying rockets between Iran and Israel. I commented that the problem isn’t with people, but with capitalism, the problem lies within the system. The average person always thinks that if we remove dictators – the world will become better. THE WORLD WON’T BECOME BETTER. I got banned. Rich means stupid bourgeois.

Today such a thought came to mind: under capitalism, two imperialist countries fight for resources. In fact, this can even be calculated mathematically, that several countries inevitably won’t have enough resources. Treaties break over time, problems accumulate, and the only way to solve these problems and earn more is through war. Now let’s mentally shift from imperialistic categories to regular office departments and the struggle for resources, because the more resources, the more power and earnings. And this is analogous to war, only with layoffs and the same inhumane character. All these problems in departments and when they might arise can be easily calculated.

I found an interesting type of company in the Netherlands.

en baby-bv is een bv die (vaak door ouders) wordt opgericht voor een baby (of algemener, een minderjarige), die eigenaar wordt. Ouders vertegenwoordigen de minderjarige bij het bestuur, en kunnen werknemer zijn van de bv. De bedoeling is dat toekomstige waardestijging van de bv aan het kind toekomt zonder dat schenk- of erfbelasting verschuldigd is. Bij de oprichting kan ervoor gekozen worden dat het kind ook na meerderjarig worden geen zeggenschap heeft over de bv, met stemrechtloze aandelen voor het kind en winstrechtloze aandelen voor de ouders.

which is

A baby-BV is a limited liability company (often established by parents) for a baby (or more generally, a minor), who becomes the owner. Parents represent the minor in the management and can be employees of the BV. The intention is that future increases in the value of the BV accrue to the child without incurring gift or inheritance tax. At the establishment, it can be chosen that even after reaching adulthood, the child has no control over the BV, with non-voting shares for the child and profitless shares for the parents.

I believe it is important to realize that the transfer of wealth from parents to children without proper taxation only widens the gap between the affluent and the needy in society.
