artifical scarcity, the end of capitalism and the middle class

[Lowtech]

I find that beyond social constructs, politics, debate over economic principles and other noise that distorts our parasitic arrangment with the rich, capitalism is artificial scarcity (and the ideology that compells people to utilize artificial scarcity). This simple mechanism is the mathematical relationship that plays out between the plutocratic class and the rest of humanity.

Market value is what's sought after; a measurment of value that does not reflect the phyiscal value of commodites, essentially the "profit" that cannot be physically manifested without subjecting the majority to artificial scarcity. Therefore, market value is artificial scarcity. This leads to all "competition" in a market based economy to become the fight to see who can most efficiently exploit the many via artificial scarcity.

Mathematical simplification allows the truth to be seen regardless of the noise used to distract us, noise keeping us complacent or passified in order to manufacture consent to subjugation.

While pondering this, I wondered how then does capitalism sustain artificial scarcity and was Marx right in the conclusion that the mass transition to modern communism will only occur naturally in the most advanced stages of capitalism? And if so, why and how?

In looking for a natural cause to this transition, it came to mind that increasing population of the working class should lead to one of two scenerios, either complete revolution brought about by the working poor taking a last stand against inequality or in capitalism's attempt to save itself, it concedes to natural forces that it has up till then evaded, eliminating artifical scarcity, becoming communism.

However, capitalism's best weapon to elude the inevitable is the middle class. They allow people to slowly be absorbed into the middle classes to slow the natural transition to communism, its as though natural economics is a cancer from the point of view of capitalism, and they know their "illness" is terminal so they simply slow it down as long as possible.

how can we then accelerate this process?

First of all i am drunk.

Second of all capitalism creates demand through planned obsolescence either through product failure (it will break in 5 or so years) or by creating a new "better" product (windows 8 anyone?)

Technological advancement makes it increasingly difficult to keep a lid on open source materials however the capitalists make the utmost of the reactionary patenting system.
One needs only look at the bullshit patent on rounded corners that apple scored to see what we can look forward too in the case of medicine or other important stuff.

What i expect from the future is that certain company's wont even bother innovating instead they generate patents on stuff and sue the shit out of everyone that "infringes" on them.

Yes, very good points, and I appreciate comments from everyone, including drunk people.

I wanted to mention that demand does not reflect need, it is stimulated market value, via conercialism, marketing etc. They want to sell garbage at a markup. Commodities at the lowest production cost are sought, even if this means it has little to no use value. Infact, to have use value it must first have some sort of material/physical property that an organic being can utilize, essentially commodities that have use value don't have a low enough production cost to be viable from the capitalist's point of view, or at least in comparison to commodities with little to no use value.
