    Doesn’t this rely on the premise that the goal of capitalism is the only possible goal?

    Do we need to progress at auch a rapid rate? Isn’t rapid progress what got us into the place we are now?

    Capitalism has fueled the growth of industry, which has accelerated global warming, the destruction of flora and fauna that are essential to life as we know it. It has created billionaires who only care about being richer and planted the belief in billions of peoples heads that they need to strive to this goal as well.

    You can blame governments all you want. But i think thats too simplistic of a view of where the corruption started. They didnt bribe themselves into allowing people to become billionaires. It was a slow process with many moving parts and the greed, fueled by capitalists is why we are in this state.

    Just blaming the government is ignoring so many factors.

    I personally would prefer to live in a world that only develops things it needs, including leisure items/products but not in excess and never in the name of profit. We shouldn’t bankrupt half the world to sit on our IP thrones and call it good.

    Its bullshit.
