    (full disclosure: i hate capitalism and think it's the root problem with most of our troubles today)

    the problem i have with labelling capitalism the fault of ALL of it is that capitalism is a construct of humankind - which is the true failure.

    marxism / socialism / communism have the greatest belief that humanity works best when it works together. capitalism holds a belief that humanity works best singularly first.

    the point is that people are corrupt as fuck and money as a method of exchange - having a fundamental economic system at all - will be the problem until we can construct a broad governing system of existence that has enough automation and natural balance that we need not worry about bartering and bickering over purchased resources.

    until the point where humanity murders that system out of itself, we're probably stuck with capitalism because it gets us to that point the fastest. it is the snake that has a competition to eat itself more and more with each quarterly report, and eventually we'll get to the neck.
