    Crisis are ultimately caused by disproportional growth between different branches of industry - sectoral overaccumulation - resulting from the uncoordinated nature of capitalist production. What crises do is purge the
    system of surplus productive capacity and in so doing re-establish the conditions for economic growth to ensue.
    Wait, but isn't this simply because this leads to a falling rate of profit or, I suppose, a temporary retraction of the market demand for consumer goods?

    The New Deal did not save Capitalism although there were some relatively good aspects to it.

    World War II saved Capitalism. Under Obama, we can feel somewhat assured, I hope, that he will not escalate the aggression and the relatively limited fighting to the level of World War and the level that such stimulates an economy and disposes of unemployed workers.

    If we do see an escalation under Obama, it will be a high-tech warfare, thus stimulating the economy, but it will be lost because there is not the willingness of American youth to man the battlestations especially when it comes to ground troops.

    Hopefully Obama will see the light of world socialism, withdraw all troops from everywhere, and eventually we (the entire planet) will disband the miltaries. (Correct this fact if it is wrong, but the USA spends more on military then the next 23 countries combined).

    Evolution to world socialism is the answer for the people that inhabit what is known as the USA, and for the rest of the world.

    I have a transition plan for the USA, working in accordance with the rest of the world.

    obama is a capitalist, bought and paid for by capitalism, he will do what the capitalist companies tell him to do, just like george bush.
    he won't give a shit how much death and destruction it costs the worlds peoples and he won't withdraw from iraq or afghanistan nor will he allow any kind of "socialist" developments in south america, he'll continue to finance terror there and across the world in order to protect the interests of the system he represents.
    some HARD LEARNING is in store for the american proletariat.

    Yes but the operative word is that disproprotional growth "leads to" these things. It is the ultimate cause of crises even if crises also involve a falling rate of profit and a contraction of market demand
