Rogue capitalism

Exploitative capitalism is neither paying for the rent or repair of the natural and social capital from which it derives its excessive profits.

CIA stands for Capitalism's Invisible Army (Buckminster Fuller).

As Marx warned in his theory of the metabolic rift, capitalism ruptures the organic exchange between humans and nature, degrading both soil and society in pursuit of surplus.  Capitalism doesn’t arise from innovation alone, but from the violent reordering of class and land relations. Nature isn’t a backdrop—it’s embedded in the very logic of accumulation. Progress, in this light, is not an upward arc—it’s a marketing campaign for dispossession.

Ultra-processed, chemically intensive food degrades health; pharmaceutical giants respond with treatments; and investment firms profit from both sides. Complicity is woven into this circuit through pension schemes and sovereign investment channels, tying the wellbeing of workers to the very structures of subordination that erode public health and ecological integrity. This is not a bug. It is the system’s logic, rendered visible.
