"The Empress Is Naked"

@adam-l I read this the other day. What I found interesting is the observation that, as institutions become feminized, they lose their prestige (deservedly).
Great articla about the feminisation of the workplace, although, since it's woman-authored, doesn't go far enough on what's the solution.
The boring, academic answer is: that's hysteria :)
Men have spirit - and those who don't, aren't men yet. Women lack it.
You are wrong.
Cheerleaders.
QED.
Spirit.
I think that's a single word that describes what it all boils down to.

Capitalism belongs to the greater group class systems.
No.
Capitalism is the only system that allows upward mobility.
Our government is anti-upward mobility, as evidenced by the graduated income tax scale (as you earn more, you pay a higher percentage).
Class systems are first and foremost about control, not profit.
In the US's case, that's just powerful people pulling the ladder up from behind them because they suck. That's not because of capitalism, but rather because people are awful.
Capitalism belongs to the greater group class systems.
That is a Marxist take.
Capitalism is one simple idea, and nothing more: Capital should be decentralized and given to the people.
Not the government, not Mark Zuckerberg, not the collective, or the workers of the world - the PEOPLE.
How is this so complicated.
“Group class system” is by defnition a centralized hierarchical system. Organic or not. This is the antithesis of Capitalist aims.

True, Lenin said that the capitalists will sell you the rope with which you will hang them, but they got much smarter from then on.
In that regard, boosting "secondary" leftist goals, such as gender issues, has been instrumental in wiping out a class-focused, threatening Left.
