Coronavirus and Covid-19 are but one focal point, among others to expose this truth. We could also focus on the obscene inequality of American capitalism where tens of millions of workers and their families are facing poverty, unemployment, hunger and homelessness while the system lavishes its oligarchs.
We could also focus on the countless wars and deaths that US imperialism has inflicted on the planet over decades - all to satiate its voracious corporate profits. That's pathological right there.
There are many ways to evince the moribund nature of capitalism. But America's abject and criminal failure to safeguard public health from the pandemic is perhaps the terminal diagnosis.
Donald Trump or Joe Biden are irrelevant at this point. The corrupt two-party charade in the US is itself part of the disease.
