if capitalism is the best we can do considering its extreme wealth inequality and how so few having so much while so many suffer their entire lives, then civilization is probably not worth it.The promise of civilization was to make everyone's life better and more enjoyable, but if it is only making a tiny few better off while most suffer and toil their entire lives away severing those above them, then civilization has failed its promise. Accordingly so, civilization should be abandoned for not holding up to its promise.

All systems of government devolve into a pyramidal scheme.Only during great change like war or governement upheaval do the common men have a chance to seize or control various goods and services, but eventually those common men become the new ruling class.This is basic fundamental law and no ruling order or organization can prevent power corrupting, we are human with flaws and we seek to protect those who serve our interests.Capitalism is just an ism like the rest. An idea that doesnt represent the execution. Just survive and reproduce and the rest is meaningless.Its all meaningless really, unless you believe in god and this world is only the beginning of the rest of our lives in the heavens.Why worry about what the caesars do either way? Beat em, join em, go inna woods. Theres no obligation to live we choose to.
>>542479667we have ubercapitalism and corporatism where lobbyists have the gov give them monopolies etc.the big companies need to get broken downHowever, as we invent even more ludicrously effective problem solvers like the internet, ai and robotics, I think capitalism will no longer be able to provide survival for most of its populace
