I don’t see any blossoming of culture any more until capitalism is overthrown, but that’s also a Catch 22 situation, as human intellect stagnates along with the system.
Only socialism, by freeing us from the wages system, can introduce leisure for the mass of people (see Lafargue and Morris) and raise intellect, bringing back what was once called “Renaissance Man” – a condition that cannot flourish under present conditions (see Wilde).
The problem remains – the climbing free in the first place and attaining the willpower for revolution whilst under present, capitalist, stifling conditions.The point is it doesn’t matter as long as we really dumb down ourselves when explaining our case. Start talking about history or materialism, and there’s no hope.
Defunct capitalism is making more and more people, in the digitalised world, stupid.
That’s not to say they don’t have skills needed for their wage-labour. That’s it: history and the Humanities are held in disdain because business is all that’s valued, and sciences and skills that channel workers into a specific avenue, their wage-slavery.No. But you won’t believe my own experience of other people.
And on quiz shows people win money if they answer correctly, so if they knew when the American Civil War ended, they wouldn’t say 1951, would they?

Can NATO forever hold back the war-mongering eastern European members on the Russian border?
