Coronavirus and Capitalism


According to CNN Chinese government is afraid that the money supply is also contaminated so they have started a process of deep cleaning and destroying potentially infected cash. (https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/17/asia/china-is-disinfecting-cash-coronavirus-intl-hnk-scli/index.html ). This is a good example of “never let a good crises go to waste” strategy of the global capitalists. The whole world is afraid of coronavirus at the moment. Everyone is scared to touch anything which can transmit the virus, so it is a good time to tell the public that we should get rid of the paper currency and only use digital money. This will allow them more control over the lives of ordinary people. I have explained in my previous presentation (http://nadeemchaudhry.blogspot.com/2016/10/money-consumerism-and-our-future.html ) how paper money has allowed the global capitalists to enslave ordinary people. The move towards digital money will allow them complete control.
