'Virtuous' Capitalism or Global Corporate Marxism?

'Rainbow' Capitalism, COVID Scam Policies and anti-Russian Sanctions are Part of Transition from Capitalism to Global Marxism

Sounds preposterous? Hear me out first. And don't you worry, the biggest corporations - Big Tech, Big Pharma, etc. - would never be destroyed ofc, this sad fate is in store for small business and even for mid-sized corporations. How exactly? I bet COVID lockdowns driving small business bankrupt and anti-Russian sanctions making all companies who had business with Russia lose profit dramatically could give you some clue how but I want to elaborate on that and to prove to you that all of this is a part of malicious plan of global elite aimed at elimination of capitalist system and replacement it with global Marxism.

In order to understand that we need to know how capitalist system functions. For capitalism, the profit is PARAMOUNT. It's above politics, it's above morality. Capitalism was critisized a lot by the Left for it as 'immoral' and 'driven by greed' and I wouldn't claim that those criticisms were entirely unfounded. However, it is perfectly NATURAL for EVERY private company to put its profit on top of everything else! Otherwise, private companies just wouldn't survive in the world of tough competition. If the companies would put politics and morality above their profit, they would go bankrupt pretty soon. Hence, private corporations usually stayed NEUTRAL in case of any political humbug. And staying neutral doesn't mean 'supporting bad guys' - just staying aside from any political conflicts.

Yeah ofc in case if some private companies' actions are harmful for public health and the environment, government could (and should) restrict their business activities in order to protect the environment or public health. I argue that it should be done by governments and not by corporations themselves because to instill a conscience in a corporate mind might turn out to be much more problematic (I'd tell later why). Yeah ofc in case of big corporations (like Big Pharma and Big Tech) they have so much money so they could buy governments to continue their harmful business activities with impunity (and this more or less happened during COVID times when Big Pharma companies had bought our governments to push their not effective vaccines down on everyone), but this is another kind of problem. It's the problem of having big monopolies on ANY market. Governments should prevent ANY corporation from turning into monopoly and violating free market competition. So shame on American government for allowing Big Tech and Big Pharma to emerge. These companies should never have acquired such market power in the first place!

If there are no big monopolies, however, and a lot of small companies instead as it should be in a perfect capitalist system, then their profit-driven logic isn't that harmful. First, the market itself usually rewards honest business with quality goods, and punishes hustlers and scoundrels selling cheap low quality shit - no one simply would be buying from them, and they'd go bankrupt. And in case of bigger problems which market can't deal with itself, there are government regulations. This system worked in the West for the whole twentieth century. So we might balk at 'immoral profit-driven logic of capitalism', but if system works well enough, it's not actually harmful but quite the opposite - it benefits all our society.

What is happening now, however, is that our global elite and international organizations aim to get rid of this profit-driven corporate logic (only for small and mid-sized companies ofc, Big Pharma and Big Tech profits are facilitated by governmental policies) and to replace it with so-called 'virtuous or conscientious capitalism'. They started to do it long before COVID or Ukrainian war even. Remember 'rainbow capitalism' when every June (Pride month) most corporations were peer pressured to pledge their support to LGBT+ rights by making rainbow products or at least waving rainbow flag? This is how gay rights were weaponized by the Left, sigh. Ofc, initially there was no peer pressure - just some eager corporations wanted to make an additional profit by offering a special range of rainbow-themed products for a Pride month. It was even harmless and nice in the beginning: gays got their goodies, companies got their monies, everyone was happy, what's the problem? But later this turned into a fashion, and fashion brought a peer pressure along. Like - why are you not offering rainbow-themed products, are you homophobic or transphobic? And so shit hit the fan.

Further it went, worse it got. Western corporations were peer pressured to pledge their allegiance to more and more political movements, to take more and more political stances. Stand with BLM. Stand with Palestine. Take a stand against Trump. Or against Brexit. Those stances were multitude, and corporations weren't allowed to stay neutral any longer. They had to show their political stand, or...what? Here the diabolical Leftist cunning came into play - the Western political Left (who were bought by global elite) had used corporate profit motif against corporations themselves. Like, if you won't submit to our Party line, we will smear you as 'bigoted and hateful' company, and no one would buy from you. Hence, a political blackmail was brought into corporate world and hijacked corporate profit motif to turn it against corporations themselves.

In truth, taking political stances (and especially divisive ones, and most of modern political stances are highly divisive) is harmful for corporations since it inevitably makes them lose part of their clients, and, hence, part of their profit. Thus, a corporation took a pro-LGBT public stance? It would lose its conservative clients. It took conservative stance? Then it would lose its gay and liberal clients. It took pro-Palestine stance? It would lose its Jewish clients. Pro-Israel stance? It would lose Muslim and 'progressive' Leftist clients then. Either way, by taking ANY political stance, a corporation loses part of its clients. While by staying neutral in case of any political humbug, it can even keep all its clients and, hence, all its profits.

Then, if it's more beneficial for corporations to stay neutral, why do they submit to Leftist political blackmail and take political stances? Again, the key word here - if it was only POSSIBLE for private corporations to stay neutral! Leftist political blackmail and peer pressure leaves this option out, however. The Left basically force corporations to choose between losing them as clients, or their political opponents. And, because the Leftist views are dominant in modern Western society, and are shared by majority of Western population, corporations would lose MORE clients and money if they'd choose say conservative political stance. Hence, they're submitting to the Left, sacrificing conservative part of their clients as 'lesser profit loss'. But even if a lesser loss, it's a loss nevertheless. The Left are forcing corporations to act against their nature, putting politics and Leftist morality ABOVE their profits which inevitably results in corporations losing part of their profits, even if negligible.

The implications of that are even more sinister though. Rainbow capitalism and other cases of pledging allegiance to trendy Leftist political movements were required by the elite to make companies USED to this new way of 'conscientious capitalism', to putting politics and morality on top of their profits. If corporations could do it with small regards - like waving rainbow flags every June - then they could relinquish even much bigger profits (or even GO BANKRUPT VOLUNTARILY!) for the 'greater good'.

This exactly happened during COVID times. Many companies, especially small business, especially in travel, entertainment and restaurant industries - were locked down for months (and if allowed to open then with significant restrictions on their capacity and working hours) and, hence, basically were forced to lose huge profits, to lay down its staff and even to go bankrupt for the 'greater good'. Lockdowns were enforced by governments yet private companies still had a right to protest those harmful for them decisions. Yet they didn't. Why? Because they were either brainwashed by false COVID narrative about benefits of lockdowns for public health (while in truth it was proven now by research that lockdowns did very little to stop the spread of the virus), or, more likely, were peer pressured and intimidated. Just like with rainbow capitalism, they were afraid for their reputation in case they would refuse to comply. Hence they voluntarily chosen to go bankrupt. Hence they put their hypothetical reputation above their actual profit. This is the essence of 'virtuous' - e.g., self-destructive - capitalism for you.

The same is happening with regard to anti-Russian sanctions now. Every company which refuses to comply with those sanctions is instantly declared to be a 'Putin's spy' ofc. So many Western companies who used to make business with Russia now relinquish their profits or even go bankrupt voluntarily. Just like with COVID again. Self-destruction of capitalism. Again, companies do not have to submit to governmental policies. They could protest sanctions which drive them bankrupt, we still live in the free society, even if free only nominally at this point, but still. Yet the corporations VOLUNTARILY choose to comply and to lose their profits and even to go bankrupt. Sad.

Why Western companies do submit to their self-destruction? Fear for their reputation, as I said. Political blackmail of the Left, smearing in media and worst of all - disdain of their fellow compliant companies who might start to 'refuse doing business with them' - all of it convinces non-complying companies that 'resistance is futile', that they'd lose much more by non-complying than by complying, and so they do comply. Ironically, that is not true even that they'd lose more by non-complying. What can be worse for a company than bankruptcy? Nothing. For company bankruptcy is equal to human death. Bankruptcy IS a death of a company. It's perfectly natural for EVERY company to do EVERYTHING in its power to prevent its own death. Yet we see more and more companies who voluntarily go under the butcher's knife. Why?

Again, because Leftist global elite had hijacked corporate logic already from profit-based to fear-based. Peer pressure, fear for their reputation and smearing in media became widespread and reached hysterical levels among Western companies. Ironically, bankruptcy itself is perceived as a SMALLER threat that public smearing. That proves how irrational and unnatural corporate mind had become in the West. And, ofc, global elite had made corporations accustomed to 'make sacrifices' for 'greater good' since the days of rainbow capitalism, so companies would take COVID huge sacrifices 'easy', sigh.

What's my overall point? That this transition from profit-based to fear-based corporate thinking destroys our capitalist system as we knew it and which served us well for so long. Many companies had already went bankrupt. Many more would due to this toxic self-destructive 'virtuous capitalism'. Even if not all of them would go bankrupt, even if many more small and mid-sized companies would survive, their functioning would entirely change. They would stay neutral in any political conflict no longer. They would not serve everyone equally as before, they would DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THEIR CLIENTS based on current political stance. For example now they would be refusing to serve Russians. Or, worse, they might be forced by governments to discriminate against their clients like it was during COVID times with fascist vax passports and mandates when bars and restaurants for example didn't let anyone in without a vax passport which was the perfect example of this brutal discrimination.

So, basically, private corporations would be submitting to any state mandates and pledging their allegiance to Party Line. They would be discriminating against their clients, violating basic human rights at state bidding or even on their own volition to 'virtue signal' properly. It would be free private companies no longer, but state puppets obeying every state restrictions however stupid and pledging their allegiance to any current Party Line however harmful. It would be no capitalism any longer but a global Marxism with private corporations turning into state puppets.

Ironically, state itself would be - and is already - a puppet of the largest corporations like Big Tech and Big Pharma who had bought all the governments in the world with their money. So basically small and mid-sized corporations would turn into slaves of largest ones with states as middlemen. So that is a corporate Marxism, then. That's really fucked up, and yet this is the Western future.
