I think it's better to wait for the collapse, then we can try to build everything as normal without capitalism. But I'm afraid that it will be again - I wanted the best, but it turned out as always.

What part of this one is capitalism's fault? Capitalism definitely has its issues but let's make sure that we are accurate with criticisms otherwise they feel disingenuous.

Capitalism as a system cannot work stably forever, such a system requires endless growth, which is impossible, and sooner or later it will find itself in a dead end, and there will be a very terrible collapse, for example, now it is an absolute automation of everything possible, without the possibility of normal control.

I'm not disagreeing but this problem has nothing to do with infinite growth it is mostly to do with government overreach. Which is kind of the opposite problem actually. My point is mostly when you attribute the failures of one system to problems it doesn't cause it weakens your position forever and makes it harder to find real solutions.

I'm no economist but the academic model of capitalism works just fine. The problem is when you have moral and ethical failings while legislating off the guardrails that keep things fair and people honest.

There's nothing wrong with capitalism. It's us.

We're the problem.

What's with all the faux accelerationist shit on here the last few days?
