Endless of Capitalist Production

"Capitalism is like a computer virus which created by humans and destructive. Companies are infected with this virus.If they get rid of profit-making, they will not survive. Is this an endless or unavoidable situation?"

I think this is situation seem endless because by related to Rosen/Schweickart, the owner of capital in capitalist society belongs to private individual. All the management or purposes of company are decided by them only. Worker cannot give an opportunity to decide or protect their right by the management. Workers always paid taxes or rent to the company to ensure that they not lost their jobs. The capitalist shareholders just only want the profit-making in their goals. They decide to invest anywhere in the world where provide the low wage of labor. Today, the competition to control and have the power over economy is the main aspect for almost the company in capitalism. They must organize and find other alternatives to maintain their performance and control in business because there are so much new companies are growth.

The technology also makes the profit-making never endless because it destroys the occupation and the management exercise control over the labor process. The fast growth and development of technology make the company to apply the new machine or tool in their management and production process. Based on the Greenbaum, she said that the technology not just changes the management objectives, but the basic thing is to reduce labor costs and increasing productivity were still paramount. For example, the word-processing programs were there designed for input speed rather than for formatting and editing. There are serious problem regarding to this technology because, it will result of the failure of technical specialist to take seriously the "invisible hand" like the clerk or general office work. What about variety of new modern technology that will create in the future effect on the division of labor and employee monitoring? Is there the company just need only a few workers to do the manufacture the product because many machines and tools are used to operate the process? There will guarantee it would be.
