Capitalism per se is not the problem, it’s ignorance and avarice. And they exist under all ‘isms’
Tis the sad lot of humanity.
It is those with a certain mindset that determine whether our society collapses or not in the next decade. The oligarchs don’t seem to be inclined to slow the runaway, extractive capitalism we have had to endure along with the enormous power they have obtained over the past four or five decades. The 1971 Powell Memo charted the way. Then Reagan came along to show how to implement the directives therein.
