if capitalism requires constant growth to function but half the population is not participating in capitalism, what happens to capitalism?

It tries to include people by forcing them into the economy.

I've said this before, but whenever you see shit like "the population of XYZ country lives mostly on less than 2 dollars a day" or whatever, what they're really saying is, how do we go about getting these fucking people to be more dependent on the monetary system?. Because people don't actually survive on that, they just have informal non-capital-recognising ways of making life happen.

Anyway SA was at 29% before the fucking pandemic. I'm surprised things have been as calm as they have so far.

I should probably do more work around the virtues of rioting and looting.
