U.S. Elite Fear U.S. Losing Its Dominance - Global Capitalism with Richard Wolff
When an empire is in decline, there is a scramble for people to take and hold on to as much as they can. Prof Wolff takes a moment to explain how the last decades of redistribution of wealth to the upper class is a sign that the U.S. is “a declining empire in which those at the top (the corporate leaders, the wealthy, the political elite, working together, intermarried, and going to the same golf courses) work a good deal to shift the burden of a declining empire off of them and on to everybody else.” While it has been going on for some time, we’re reaching the limit of what is tolerable.
In the full lecture, Prof Wolff explains how this is one piece of understanding not just the military war in Ukraine, but the larger economic war between the U.S. and China. Watch the full lecture here...

It looks to me as the U.S.A. has been deep in decline for a long time now. 70-80% Of the population is on antidepressants, antianxiety,- antipsychotic, fentalal or opium derived drugs. Ten of millions of homeless people thru out the nation. Large percentages of the cities in the U.S. are run down ghettos.
I live in a small town in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY. We’ve had like 30 people over 5 years die of drug overdoses, two murders, cops shot two people, the other night a guy went into Stewart’s and said he had a bomb. The police surrounded the place for six hours until the guy came out. This stuff never happened before, I am 51, never seen anything like it. We also had Israel Keyes, serial killer, rob the bank in town back in 2012?
And with all the the priority is banning gas stoves, cheap energy, transrights, and pronouns… yea id say we are fucked

Dominance led to a sense of Impunity. Impunity leads to Corruption. Corruption (appearance does not correlate with reality) leads to Fracture. Fracture leads to Collapse.
but the US confuses dominance and power. dominance has already lost its power .
How does dominance lead to corruption? How does the zoological term lead to an economic crime? Do you lack the education not to make logical mistakes?Political corruption has shown itself in the social and economic relations of highly developed beings .In the Wild, animals do not bribe each other to solve the economic and legal interests of interested groups.Political corruption does not equal dominance in a group of animals. Man came out of the animal world developing intelligence and society.

Who is winning the war in Ukraine? That's easy, "defense" contractors! And their paid politicians. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon...
Qatar
And the top US political elite who are in their pockets, many of whom have huge shares in those companies.
Thats the ultimate truth. The war is for them and for the politicians in Washington.
All the Oil men. If you have the 1956 Hubbert Report, you will have expected Shell's declaration of peak oil in 2019. The only way they can maintain production is an increase in oil price to 100 to 200 dollars a barrel. Tight oil, shale, tar sands, clathrates, and other dregs, are potentially much bigger than the conventional reserves with the difficulty they are much harder, more polluting, and energy intensive to extract. They need the high prices the Ukraine conflict is generating to continue.
"Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon..." Don't forget the Russian MIC: Almaz-Antey, United Aircraft Corporation, United Shipbuilding Corporation, Tactical Missiles Corporation, Russian Helicopters, Uralvagonzavod, Irkut Corporation, Sukhoi Company, Sevmash Company, Tupolev Company, MiG Corporation... Russia is the second largest conventional arms exporter after the United States, and Russia's defense industry accounts for 20% of all manufacturing jobs in Russia.

Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, and many other former great nations never thought that they would fall apart. America, even in the modern day age is foolish to believe that collapse can't happen to them because, after all, the best way to meet your destiny is to run from it.
As an author on the collapse of civilisations, I have recently been looking at "Did the Romans know Roma was collapsing" and the answer is, NO. Im a Brit living in the EU - I can clearly see the UK collapsing before my eyes on an almost daily basis, and the USA collapsing but more slowly. The people in these two countries feel something is wrong, but they are absolutely confident they can fix it. Neither can.
@Piccalilli Pit Absolutely. The problem could have been prevented much much earlier, had greed not corrupted the foresight of the leaders in the past. Now we're pretty much watching a dying cancer patient.
@@YoJoRockThaBeat - Yes America started its collapse with deregulation and de funding education in the 1980's. The UK was actually going OK ish until the right-wing government cut investment under the "austerity" policy in 2010 and the massive nail in the coffin was Brexit. Possibly the single most stupid thing a country has ever done to its self - BUT pushed by the tax dodgers who wanted to avoid the new EU anti tax avoidance legislation. They were prepared to destroy the country to avoid paying a bit of tax.

@@bobbafett1849 - Well at the end of the day - its what empire so. They are born, they rise to power, they stagnate and they collapse and the average time they last is 250 years... For the average person, there is little difference in their life in the 4 stages, it is mostly the psychological element of being in an upwards trajectory or a downward one. I currently live in Bulgaria which is objectively poorer than the USA but we have 1/4 the suicide rate of the USA, the future looks bright and people are optimistic tomorrow will be better than today. In many ways the best way to deal with collapse is to switch off the news LOL
No need for the elite class to worry. The rest of us can readily see that it has already happened. We stage insane wars for nothing while we debase our currency and refuse to raise our debt limit. Meantime, the rest of the world is pioneering systems for being helpful, caring for each other, and trading for mutual benefit.
The UK isnt - its doing the economic collapse speed run - but here in the EU life gets better every day. As a Brit this cognitive dissonance territory for me

I wrote a paper on the shifting of debt burden from the high class to the working class and poor demographics. It is evident in the interest rates charged to those respective demographics. For instance, the high class individuals and households have the largest debt burden absolutely and relatively; yet, they pay the lowest real interest on that debt and can even pay no interest since there are laws that allow the rich to claim interest against the tax liability. On the other hand, the poor have the lowest debt burden absolutely and relatively; and, yet they are charged the highest interest rate (up to 500% interest). This difference in the interest charged on debt for the rich and the poor is precisely a shift in the debt burden from the rich to the poor.
your assessment is so true. ( we need a new system that work for the people our wealth has been stolen for to long and must be stop )
Nobody wants to do nothing but complain on yt until Trump say something
They will do what psychopaths do... undermine as much as possible by murder, deceit, etc.
The talk of empire is dated for the circumstances. There are those who are interested in it, but the US and UK are plutocracies and driven by the political and economic concerns of that social strata. And we are afflicted by their despotic madness to drive us (the people into ruin); it isn’t just greed but malignant contempt aimed at us. They are enamored of "libertarianism" yet those in that faction seek to destroy the US as a republic and rule on its ashes. They are indifferent to US empire. The faction of wealth dedicated to this is 700+ individuals and that is a frightening level of hate of the powerful to be aimed at us. They seek not only to be on the top of the pile but smash everyone they stand on. This is a far darker reality.
Richard, what does the rich assume their consumer base will do when most of us can no longer afford goods or services? Don't they understand that they need both labour and consumers to survive, themselves? It doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Producers are the prime consumers of their own products. This is called self-sufficiency. It is the prime reason why hunter-gatherers adopted an agricultural mindset. Tech advances notwithstanding, humans cannot outgrow the agricultural mindset. Food is the core need of all existence. No billionaire or trillionaire can exist without constant access to FOOD!
well said Richard I wish people would say things like this on mainstream media, but I know it's not in their economic interest.
They won’t; because they’re are so afraid of truth themselves. For then not saying it, means it’s not happening..
It’s called censorship
Bravo! First meaningfull article from USA!
America had more soft-power than any nation that has ever existed. It's influence unmatched. Scores of countries wanted to be on America's good side - they would bend over backwards to get there. Amateurs in the American government squandered that, resorting to using the military where America could have squeezed/charmed/cajoled in other ways longer lasting and more effective.

The wealthiest Americans may be avoiding $163 billion in income taxes every year, according to a report from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. While U.S. tax brackets increase by income, the ultra-wealthy often leverage laws to reduce how much they owe. Financial experts cover some of the most popular tax avoidance strategies.
I would not generalize, that it is the US and US only. If you ask the questions, who owns the world, then after some deep investigations you will recognise that it is about 8000 people. That is it! Those bankers and others own corporations through Mutual funds like Blackrock, Vanguard and others... The companies and their CEO-s and others only execute the requests from their owners, and get paid pretty well. The owners request bigger and bigger profits. It is implemented by applying bigger and bigger margins on products and services. You can't have a 20, 40, 50 or 99% margin running a restaurant as a family business. But the so-called high tech, the SW, Services, biotech... the military and some others are pretty well usable vehicles for the company owners to milk the whole world. It is simply insane, disgusting and unbelievable to know how greedy these owners really are. Some biotech companies charge a 99% margin rate on some special drugs!!! Apple to talk into your faces, that they serve You! NO, They and the others are simply ROB You to the bone. With 40 - 50- 60% margins on some "high-end" items, that do what their owners ask them to do. And the very - very few, the 8000 greedy gang-members execute the request with millions of diligent supporters, many of whom are really out of character. Say for example 100 000 professionals work to create products and services, and the total payment of these workers in a year very often less, than half of those, who do NOTHING, just own the company through stock exchanges and dictate the major direction though board meetings and votings. The stock market in the current form is a Huge SCAM. Scam of the cheaters. It does not work the way, it was intended to work 100 years earlier. If you do not believe this, just check for example Exxon. Calculate, what might be the total payment of all employees, and see, how huge their yearly profit was and divide the total yearly profit by the number of employees. There are many things that has NO limitations. But the first, that comes into my mind is the GREED of the gangsters. For this reason, this rotten capitalism will be flushed down the toilet in the next 20 - 50 years, and the process started Not recently, but after 1945, when the US dropped the atomic bomb to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is pretty much in a few sentences about How the world currently operates.
We have been overspending on the military since Reagan BORROWED 2 TRILLION to start a military spending spree supporting the military industrial complex that continues to this day and leading to the militarism we saw during the W. Bush administration. There is something wrong with spending more on our military than the next 25 countries combined and spending 3/4 of a BILLION EACH on aircraft while our deficit soars, the middle class is gutted and poverty rates increase.
I know people put the blame on REAGAN for Reaganomics, but it is forgotten he was conveniently shot before the policies were put before Congress. He had been making deals with Gorbachev and taking other actions which the military industrial complex would regard as undesirable, such as not being keen on nuclear war. Do you remember the VP was a member of the BUSH family, the same family who were buddies with CLINTON.

When you're competing on the world stage higher worker wages just guarantee that a country with less worker rights and pay just take your jobs that much quicker. Why pay an American worker $30.hr when someone in Vietnam or Thailand will gladly do the work for $2/hr?

Please discuss the labor practices at the New School. Practically free/donated labor from the professors, low-wage service and security staff, and students paying a shit-ton and often going into debt funding everything. Please discuss this racket. Here in the SF Bay, the former Zen Hospice (a spiritual non-profit) worked the same racket. Zen volunteers provide the image of social goodness, paid staff (looked down upon by the volunteers) do all the difficult shit, and the highly educated and enlightened Brahmins manage decision-making (and get the nice homes and money). Quite the hustle, no? Common to both the left and the right, no? Exploit people's spiritual beliefs, their desire to be good. This is bull shit, no?
Tres bon constat de notre realite. Merci.
Rentiers are not employers. The FIRE sector (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) extracts economic rents from the productive economy. Economic rent is profit that is untethered from the cost of production. Rent on apartments built decades ago are being driven through the roof not because the cost of producing it has increased; what it cost to construct those buildings was spent long ago. Rent is whatever someone will pay. It has nothing to do with production except that rentiers prey on the productive economy to extract as much capital from it as they can. That leaves less that can be invested in plant, equipment, and hiring workers. So rentiers -- especially real estate holding corporations and banks -- are looting the economy for as much as they can grab as it descends into oblivion.
The American dream was just that for the lucky few

The American way is not the only right way for society. America is very passionate about their freedoms but why do American poltics s act like america wouldn’t be able to have their freedoms if another nation become more powerful ? Just be respectful to others in other nations , the mentality that america should always rule the world is a weird one . If China becomes more influential and powerful - what does that even change for Americans I really wonder
The American military exists due to fearful paranoia. End of line. Never had one before 1941.

Because ' 'Murica is #1" is the way the U.S. markets itself and if my quoted statement is true, that's how the U.S. keeps making money and how they keep U.S. capitalism expanding.

Anyone who is in power knows this and would do ANYTHING to appease these capitalists to keep their power too.
