1. We need to start planting our food and build houses on government owned lands. like africa in nature. and make water and utilities management effective for communities. vote for me!
2. LOL this isn't capitalism.
3. Then what is the best economic system in the world ?
4. He's talking about a Resource Based Economy.
5. Only Ayn Rand and Jesus can sabe
6. Capitalsim will be replaced by cronyism, neo-feudalism.
7. capitalisim is satan caracter it is exact true word.nations have big punishment by lowe it s coming up
   nation is worst thing best thing is small population. MY GOD GIVE YOU NORMAL BRAIN
8. technically capitalism is outdated
   a steam age system in the digital age is the equvelant of having the stone age system to govern the roman empire
   
   the only logical solution is a global post economic that is centered around technology with automation as it's main mechanism to produce goods and resources as well as provide distribution
   
   a distribution that would be automatically controlled so that no one singular person can take advantage of it
9. technological inovation on it's own isn't a solution because technological development is determined by the quest for super-surplus by capitalists, ie they are going to invest in what is most profitable for them, not the common good, how am I going to bring about technological inovation if I a) Don't have the means of production necessary to create better technology, b) Can't manage to sell given product in the market because it doesn't manage to compete in the market since it's point is use value and not exchange value. Unless it's in the capitalist class interests to bring about said technology, it isn't going to happen, workers don't own the machines.
   
   The answer is for the multitude of societies active labour power to take their fate in their own hands, for global counterpower to bring down the system globally in conjoined struggle. Then we can use our technological powers in any way we desire.
10. hell yeah! what the fuck has capitalism ever done for me? it's shit, bring on the communism!
    
    people need to wake up and stop being spoilt little shits who bite the free market hand that's literally feeding them. nationalisation and equality will never be a better system than a small government and freedom for all
11. The evil tactic in our capitalism consists of deliberately suppressing/ withholding basic, unbiased philosophical education as to create, groom and exploit philosophically ignorant, gullible consumers.
    I.e. consumers, who mainly care to fulfill their wants & wishes, whereas philosophical maturity guides consumers to fulfill their inherited, true needs. Guess, which capitalist ideology is more human?
12. Why can't
13. I can comment free? Wow, I love the internet or better said I love what this info communication has become or will be. And people can read my comment without paying to view witch plus supports an ad workshop to do it for me is adventurous.
14. I know that something monumental is going to happen in my lifetime. The structure of the economy and our society is going to change drastically. The problem is I can't figure out if it's going to happen a year from now or 20 years from now. All I know is that the current system can't last.
15. YAWN !!
    
    More nonsensical and unfounded fear mongering from Paul " slavery in Toxteth " Mason.
16. It's 2016 and the most communist part of the country is the largest problem the Federal reserve.
17. communism or socialism will be the solution
    said by "albert einstein"
18. Capitalism died a miserable death in 2008 with the market crash and it is never coming back. Automation and technological unemployment will make the current situation even worse by eliminating some 47% of the job market in the next 10 years and close to 75% in 20. No jobs, no money to spend, no consumer economy, no production... you get the point... Capitalism has already eaten its tail and is now consuming the rest of itself. If there isn't a solution before the shit hits the fan, there is going to be crap everywhere... People worldwide, will pick this planet apart. We can thank all the greedy corporations who turned workers into cheap commodity while raising production levels to an all time high and pocketing all the money. But no one is without blame as all the sheep and cattle let this happen for the last 40 or so years. This is what you get when things trickle up. Enjoy!
19. Because socialism and communism was such a blast, government micromanagement woo wee, because MASS STARVATION every time it's tried doesn't kill enough people to knock that stupid shit of an idea out. How's Venezuela, going, democratic socialism. IT ENDS THE SAME WAY EVERYWHERE IT'S TRIED IN ALL VERSIONS, first the government redistributes from the dowers and gives it to sloths, then the government becomes corrupted and after all the businesses have price controlled implemented ensuring there is no incentive or profit or new money from exports being injected the entire socialist economy collapses the money becomes used as toilet paper and wallpaper as it's cheaper than toilet paper, and the system collapses. The only way people survive is by black market capitalism, where they sell shit they have for food because that is their incentive. But stupid people across the world especially feminists they are the stupidest bunch on the planet love mass starvation. Mass stupidity gets rewarded with mass starvation. It happened in Europe it happened in CUBA the "mecca of innovation and technology now i hear lol, it happening live in Venezuela as they don't export anything anymore, they used too but the government owns all the sugar farms so companies like coca cola had to stop and pull out production. GOOD OLD SOCIALISM, it's the truly stupid.
20. I don't really understand how that system works, the current system seams better.
