Late-stage capitalism is about selling scams to the people. Scams designed to keep a declining system going by convincing the people that the structural violence within these measures for keeping profits up is worthwhile. An example of this kind of social engineering is the narrative that Washington and European elites used to justify their placing Greece into debt bondage, as a supposed solution to the country’s reaching an economic apocalypse from its capitalist crises. Yanis Varofakis, one of the few involved in Greece’s handling of the situation who tried to stop the austerity plan, wrote a call for resistance that reminds me of what the resistors to Biden’s proxy war are saying. He called for those with integrity to bring: “Truth to power. Truth to our partners. Truth to the citizens of Europe. Truth regarding the sorry state of our banks. Truth about our ‘surpluses’. Truth about non-existent investment.”
