The Progressivity of Decay

The Progressivity of Decay

The path of socialist reform follows the different path of the communist revolution.

It has to be radical to implement communism, because the turn of the economic structure, or, the terminology of the superstructure according to Karl Marx, generates a vertical state concentration in all sectors of the economy, from the financial system, civil infrastructure, heavy industry, transportation system, energy infrastructure, water and fuel infrastructure, rural property ownership, legislation on finance, and aggressive taxation to transfer corporate profits, control of service and product permissions, teaching and public services of schools and hospitals, militarization of all police forces, service of censorship of all means of exchanging information, logistics and raw materials, then the State and the government merge with the judiciary and the legislature to form a single bloc. This is the communist revolution.

In socialist reform, the process is gradual and starts with the broad social programs of Bolsa Família, Minha casa Minha Vida, and unemployment benefits, and then subsidies for some sectors begin, then subsidies, so the budget becomes more dependent on the sector. production that soon runs out, then companies begin to sink with the transfer of wealth to increasingly heavy social programs, and soon corporate taxes become insufficient, and the State becomes an entrepreneur, taking over the failed and even prosperous companies , and soon these companies become deficient and inefficient in the generation of social profit, and soon the State becomes hypertrophied and then the State starts to prohibit and appropriate the great fortunes, and then the State appropriates the great companies and soon begins to to appropriate the large rural properties and then the large urban properties, and soon begins to expropriate the small urban and rural properties and soon there are no more properties urbanizations that begin with invasions of unoccupied properties, then the next step in the face of property confusion is the destruction of resistances by destroying conservative anti-revolutionary and anti-progressive institutions such as the family and the church, then the next step is Venezuelanization.

These are the steps towards the destruction of capitalism by two courses of action, one immediate, revolution, and the other, progressive and progressive socialist reform.
