Milley should have studied some Marxist economics

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-02-01

Milley played football in his early years, but he didn't make a name for himself and went to university to study economics. When he went to school, it was at a time when Austrian economics was popular in the West, and it was not surprising that he was being treated by neoliberalism. Milley became the first to have the opportunity to put his economic ideas into practice and bring them to the international stage.

At the Davos forum, he blew liberalism to the skil, and described collectivism as the root of all problems. Roughly divided, the liberalism that Milley refers to is approximately equal to or similar to capitalism, and collectivism is approximately equal to and similar to socialism. The reason why it is said to be approximately equal to or approximate is because it is not quite so. We can expand on this topic a little bit.

Marx divided human society into primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society, socialist society, and communist society.

In Marx's view, when the relations of production hinder the development of the productive forces, the lower social system will transition to the higher social system. But this transition will not happen naturally and will only be achieved through struggle and even bloodshed. Slave owners do not automatically give up the privilege of watching slaves fight tigers in the Colosseum, and slaves being torn to pieces by tigers; Louis XVI preferred to go to the guillotine rather than give up feudal kingship.

Since the bourgeois revolution in England in 1640, capitalism has been running in the West for more than 300 years, creating market prosperity, perfect welfare, and social development, but all this is not the result of the natural development of capitalism, but the result of the struggle of the exploited and oppressed working class. The capitalists of the British enclosure movement forcibly occupied the peasants' land for pastures, and the weaving mills hired a large number of child laborers, working 14 hours a day, with a minimum age of 5 years old, and the situation was not much better than that of serfs, Marx's "when capital came to the world, every pore was dripping with dirty blood", which was the conclusion reached after research, and before Marx, the French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau also believed that "private property is the root of all evil", and it was by no means as wonderful as Milley said. The profit-seeking nature of capital determines the extreme squeezing, you can earn 100 yuan, you won't earn 99 yuan, you can 996 you won't have two days off, and the current eight-hour work system is also the right to be won by the protests of Chicago workers in the United States.

The Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara once said: "When we leave, they will build you schools and hospitals, and they will raise your wages, not because they have a conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because we have been there".

Marx believed that the class stratification caused by the development of capitalism would bring society to a higher stage - socialism and communism, no exploitation, no oppression, common prosperity, distribution according to work (in the future, distribution according to need), from the design concept, there is no problem, this should be the most ideal social system.

Collectivism has been practiced, and there are lessons to be learned. The neoliberalism upheld by Milley, the so-called Austrian school founded by Hayek and others, advocates extreme liberalism, extreme individualism, and no interference in the economy and society. So far, no country has dared to copy it all, and Milley wants to turn Argentina into a testing ground for Austrian economics to see how many days he can do.
