As an 80s kids crazy how everything they told us was bad about communism is what we have, or are getting now, with none of the benefits.

Before I started the video: "Oh, someone with too much optimism is delusional about the end of capitalism"
Me at the end of the video: "Oh, capitalism it's just dying to give birth to something even more horrifying, that tracks"

This video was interrupted by an ad of a 20-year-old guy wearing a towel and a do-rag pitching me how to get rich in day trading without money down. I hate this era with the passion of a thousand suns.

I’m a mechanic and the rent seeking economy you describe is everywhere. It’s no longer profitable to create new machines or innovate technology, it’s about controlling access to it as you said. Recently I put a transmission in a Chevy Malibu. It came out of the same year Malibu. It was the same transmission. However we had to call a computer guy to come out and program this transmission to talk to the engine to make the car work. This transmission is exactly the same, the gears and such that make it work are the same, but General Motors made it so it had to be programmed. Even the diagnostic tools we have to use the shop has to pay a subscription fee to get updated. The internal combustion engine has operated the same since its invention, yet to even be able to diagnose these things we have to ask the manufacturer for permission essentially. Talking about the velocity of money and stuff, they made an entire new market of having a guy have to come out and plug in his software to make it work, when the machine itself hasn’t been improved or innovated at all, in fact only gotten worse and cheaper. But the money found a new place to move.

I came to this same realisation when i started investment banking as a bright eyed graduate, and slowly realised that we were just marking up companies based on BS projections to the same handful of PE firms, who 3 years later would sell them on again to one of the other firms, and so the circlejerk continues. Thus began the deep spiral into "oh so this is how the world actually works"
1.Capitalism has shifted – from profit-driven production to financialization, speculation, and rent-seeking (subscriptions, private equity, monopoly power).
2. Ownership is disappearing – housing, farmland, digital goods, and even work are increasingly controlled by corporations and investment firms, leaving individuals as renters or gig workers.
3. Markets no longer reflect reality – government bailouts, cheap money, and venture capital allow unprofitable companies to dominate, while workers see little benefit.
4. Control over Money – data, algorithms, and AI now shape consumer behavior, politics, and culture, giving billionaires influence beyond traditional wealth.
5. We’re entering “post-capitalism” – money itself matters less than power, control, and the ability to make society dependent on perpetual rent and subscriptions.
