More on post/anti-capitalism

Continuing from this post, in the FB IPS discussion of anti-capitalism,

LP said: "Postcapitalism has to hold the maximum of space for both tweaked capitalism and radical anti-capitalist transformation. It is the name for a transitional space and placeholder -- which serves a laudable cause but certainly takes the risk of appears less directly radical that many would like."

EP said: "Someone in the Integral Global threads on the Gafni fiasco pointed out that there was a lawsuit against I-i by underpaid workers who also were expected to work as "volunteers". the low paid workers won the lawsuit. Wilber: BUSTED!

I replied to LP:


As the article said of the transitional phases: "Indeed some of them may be positive and necessary steps toward a non-capitalist mode of production. But they are just that—steps—and it’s a mistake to confuse them with the path as a whole." 

I replied to EP: Yes, in this thread I've noted several instances where conscious capitalist Whole Foods has engaged in typical capitalist exploitation of workers. As the article I linked said, "The worst aspects of capitalism aren’t a mistake. They’re inherent to it." Zak also confirmed this in the ITC video linked earlier, that exploitation of labor is inherent to this system.
