There is a problem of infinite growth you all seem to forget. Capitalism cannot survive without exponential growth. The solution to that is imperialism, and and infinite expansion of humanity. Ignoring the fact that we can't stop climate change, in the future we will have to expand the extraction of resources (not out of real necessity, but out of capital accumulation). This will take us to outer space and beyond. There is just one small thing you all seem to forget, growth consumes all of our resources. We have 20 million people dying of poverty a year simply because we would rather let our resources go to waste than spend time distributing them properly. (We waste much more food than we would need to stop world hunger, and that is just one example.) When the only possible solution to our problems is putting all of our resources towards infinite growth there is nothing left for putting towards humanity itself. You will be stuck in the same endless loop forever. That is not progress, but hell itself.

Exponential growth in the face of limited resources can never end well unless very well planned, and we are obviously not planning anything, let alone doing it right. Capitalism has a hard stop with climate change, though.

Each uncontrolled growth face to final destination and reborn. Until that day there has to be good project to prevent this waste and at least try to do something for...
or maybe we could just sum it up as communism or death
We also have to stop looking at old ideas and building from the ground up. Check this video also

tfw communsim is already re-building society from the ground up and it's not that old of an idea, and has a real functional critique of capitalism built in.
Is your idea even built up from hegelian dialectics smh
I think an ASI will build a better model.
drops mic
nobody has any clue what you are talking about like 95% of the time lol
explain plz
Took the Dialectics, said: "Hey, why don't yah become materialist instead of idealistic" and blamo: he completed the System of German Idealism.
If you took that seriously and didn't realize the drops mic part from my original comment, please learn to drink alcohol on a daily basis. Also, please cite those people. Lest of course you mean those extra-terrestrials as well, you might want to increase that to 99.9%; as I'm afraid they don't understand the human language. Otherwise, excluding them, drop that to 25% for people who first meet me and 10% for those that get my lingo and ask me to stop speaking in pirate-lingo.
venus project is basically just utopian socialism, rebranded without the traditional lexicon.
the only way a new world will exist is through utterly and systematically smashing the old
didn't they already pronounce so called "capitalism" as dead already more than once, quite a while ago? and many times after
2018 UN study warns: Capitalism is dying
2015 Capitalism is dead ...
2013 Is Capitalism Dying?
2008 Capitalism Is Dead
actually come to think of it... so called "infinite growth" is just a clever trick to justify the proprietorial behavior of so called "capitalists", who are in fact just some apolitical guys who gives a shit only about making money by any means available.
