In the midst of economic crisis, we often find ourselves wondering how the system that was once hailed as a symbol of prosperity and stability has come to such a point of collapse. The answer lies not in some external force or villainous plot, but rather within the very fabric of capitalism itself.

As Guy Debord so astutely observed, 'Modern society... went from success to success, and was persuaded that it was loved.' But this notion of love was always an illusion, a fleeting high before the inevitable crash. The bourgeoisie's addiction to accumulation, fueled by their relentless pursuit of profits, has led them down a path of self-destruction.

In his book 'The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte,' Karl Marx wrote about the tendency for the bourgeoisie to destroy what they seek to preserve. Today, we see this played out on a grand scale as the bourgeoisie cannibalizes itself in a desperate bid to survive. The children of the bourgeoisie, who once stood alongside workers and challenged the status quo, have now turned against their own class.

The parallels between the present economic crisis and the hangover that follows a night of excessive revelry are striking. Just as the effects of a wild night out can be short-lived, so too is the period of economic prosperity under capitalism. The crash that follows is inevitable, and the bourgeoisie's attempts to revive their fortunes through stimulus plans and bailouts only serve to prolong the agony.

As Debord noted in his 'Comments on the Society of the Spectacle,' modern society has been forced to renounce its dreams of success and instead seek to be feared. This fear-mongering is a desperate attempt to maintain power and control, but it can only lead to further instability and chaos.

In the end, it is not some external force that will bring about the downfall of capitalism, but rather the bourgeoisie's own self-destructive tendencies. As we reflect on this war of mine, we are reminded that the true enemy lies within - within our own addiction to accumulation, our own fear-mongering and desperation.

In the words of Debord: 'The spectacle is a stultifying, uniform social space that makes all genuine individuality impossible.' And so, as we navigate these treacherous waters, it is essential that we recognize the true nature of this war - a war waged not against an external enemy, but against our own destructive tendencies.
