Don’t Be Scared About The End Of Capitalism—Be Excited To Build What Comes Next
“Instead of fixating on a fight between capitalism and socialism, imagine innovating a future economy that transcends old binaries.
These are fast-changing times. Old certainties are collapsing around us and people are scrambling for new ways of being in the world. As we pointed out in a recent article, 51% of young people in the United States no longer support the system of capitalism. And a solid 55% of Americans of all ages believe that capitalism is fundamentally unfair.
But question capitalism in public and you’re likely to get some angry responses. People immediately assume that you want to see socialism or communism instead. They tell you to go and live in Venezuela, the current flogging-horse for socialism, or they hit you with dreary images of Soviet Russia with all its violence, dysfunction, and grey conformity.

Synoptic 1 STOP with your bigoted nonsense. Take it elsewhere immediately. Especially when it’s painfully clear you didnt read the article and are just using this as a soapbox.

The only effective action to limit endless growth in consumption is to stop the endless growth in population. But is this action really something outside of capitalism?plus.google.com – The most sustainable lifestyle?

Benjamin Gustafsson capitalism does not impose conditions on reproduction, it assumes it unbound and always increasing, save perhaps a few models for war economies, not even increases in GDP assume pop increases or decreases
Synoptic 1 I do not care about what book knowledge you have about anything. That’s not the topic of my comments to you. I ask one last time before blocking you from the collection, stop with any bigoted comments towards Islam or any race, religion, or creed. It is not only unwanted here, it will not be tolerated in this collection. Take it elsewhere.
I posted the start for a pos-capitalist system in my main collection, meat notes
