## Resource

Democratic Socialism Saves Capitalism from the Capitalists Niles Heckman Download The paradox is as old as the ying yang of social & capital itself: left entirely to its own appetites, capitalism develops self-cannibalism. Wealth concentrates, monopolies calcify, labor becomes precarious, oligarchs start raping, politics is purchased wholesale, and eventually the public ceases to feel the system works for them at all. At that moment, capitalism’s greatest threat is no longer socialism. It is legitimacy collapse. This is where we are now.
