If capitalism doesn’t end the world or cause a major ruinous world war, it would be in the adjusted form from its current machinated march.
The purity of capitalism – in how it should run states is already adrift, with most of what capitalism is, far different from what it should be.
There are places in the world where the price is for the sake of pricey-ness, not quality, not scarcity, but price as an agent.
There are other places where consumption is everything, no production, low regulations, but total consumption.
There are all kinds of shifts per monetary policies, interest rates, etc. that don’t fit and result in nothing.
Though some countries care about life than others, most countries have rough roles and wide hazards that counter what it actually means to care.
Health loss, expensive care, retirement panic, etc. continue to expose how inadequate parts of capitalism are.
Nothing can touch capitalism because it is the best, OK.
But how is the best economic system so fragile and super delicate that it is incompatible with an unpredictable and miscellanea world of a different era?
Capitalism at certain scales work. But with the larger world, there should be at least ten thousand types of demand, supply, price, competition, currency, etc.
The usual few options that have to be uniform – across nations – are the most lethal contraption ever created.
Capitalism is the real superpower. Those who disregard intelligent design should know that the missing piece pre-big bang is capitalism.
Capitalism embarrassed religion [organized or not]. Capitalism turned most entertainment into poison. Capitalism laid waste to the theory of evolution – survival and reproduction. There are ways people seek capital that what survives is the capital, not them. There are people who prioritize capitalism, making their reproduction of low quality or deficient in what should make them the fittest.
Capitalism mostly took away meaning from life and made itself the purpose of life. There are people of means who think capitalism is to their advantage, but life would not be different if it never existed.
Technology serves capitalism. Wars are its minion. Capitalism is often what is rescued in disasters, plagues or great shortages, directly and people – indirectly.
Those who keep talking about millions of years before now, or millions of years after should rather think per decennium, because with crashes and crunches, since capitalism cannot accommodate present scale, it may go off with all or almost – in total devastation beyond the lists of potential threats.
Capitalism compliance has become the key behaviour of most or all – in most situations.
Capitalism is not the key to real survival, but who cares, its works, we go.
Capitalism ever while environment, health, anything whatsoever can perish.
That lifeless paper that humanity has made greater than itself that has torn friends, family, community, nations, etc. apart, may hold the end of the human race.
[Psalm 115:4, Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.]
