Eine orange Schlange, die sich selbst auffrisst, ziert das Cover des Buches "Der Allesfresser: Wie der Kapitalismus seine eigenen Grundlagen verschlingt" (2023) der Philosophin Nancy Fraser. Obwohl vom Menschen selbst etabliert, beschreibt Fraser den Kapitalismus als Fressorgie, "deren Hauptgericht wir selbst sind". Eine Zähmung dieses gefräßigen Untiers sei unmöglich, denn in unserem aktuell vorherrschenden Raubtierkapitalismus zähle nur das Recht des Stärkeren und der Wille des Kapitals, denn Geld sei Macht. Empathie wird outgesourct (Stichwort: unbezahlte Care-Arbeit) – schließlich bringt sie keinen Ertrag –, während für größtmögliche Rendite Natur und Mensch ausgebeutet werden. Das seien keine Nebenerscheinungen kapitalistischer Wirtschaft, sondern zentral für eine globale kapitalistische Gesellschaft. Die diesem System zugrundeliegende Dynamik stetigen Wachstums und einer Profitmaximierung um jeden Preis sei kannibalistisch. So resümiert Fraser zum Buchende: "Antikapitalismus könnte – und sollte – […] zum zentralen Leitmotiv eines neuen Common Sense werden."
Warum Kapitalismus systematisch ungerecht ist und gar eine Gefahr für unsere Demokratie darstellt, zeigt sich auch in den folgenden acht Gedanken zum Thema.
1. Demokratie gegen Bares
Deutschland ist eine Demokratie, steht zumindest so im Grundgesetz. Dass da aber einige Leute mit dicken Geldbündeln zwischen den Zeilen mitgeschrieben haben, wird gern überlesen. In einer Demokratie ist jede Stimme theoretisch gleichviel wert. In der Praxis aber lässt sich – mit genügend Kapital, versteht sich – Einfluss erkaufen. Das nennt sich in Deutschland dann nicht Korruption, sondern Lobbyismus. Klingt gleich viel seriöser. Kapitalist:innen, Großkonzerne und Interessengemeinschaften zahlen Millionen für Wahlkampagnen, schreiben Gesetze mit, drehen an Steuersätzen, organisieren diskrete Abendessen. Und wer sich all das nicht leisten kann? Tja, der darf alle vier Jahre ein Kreuzchen machen und dann hoffen, dass seine Interessen nicht unter einem Haufen Lobbybriefe begraben werden.
2. Arbeiten kostet richtig Geld
Wenn du acht Stunden schuftest, pendelst, schwitzt und dich durch Meetings quälst, landet ein massiver Prozentsatz deines Gehalts bei Staat und Krankenkasse – normal und unumgänglich, schließlich sollen Schulen und Kitas, Straßen und Fahrradwege (ob in Deutschland oder Peru) gebaut werden. Bist du aber Privatier, arbeitest überhaupt nicht und gönnst dir eine dicke Aktien-Rendite durch Dividenden oder Kurssteigerungen, gibst du pauschal nur 25 Prozent ab, mit kreativer Buchführung auch weniger. Angeblich ist das gut für den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland – aber nicht für seine Bürger:innen.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with two figures in the foreground, dressed in advanced, armored suits with helmets and visors. The suits are predominantly blue and white, with a red emblem on the left shoulder of the figure in the foreground. The background features a cityscape with tall, futuristic buildings, some with antennas, set against a sky with a gradient of yellow and orange hues, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The terrain is rocky and barren, with reddish-brown hues, indicating a possibly extraterrestrial or post-apocalyptic setting. The overall color palette is muted, with a focus on blues, grays, and earthy tones, contributing to a sense of desolation and advanced technology.
