Identifying the correct answer to that question, one I do not pretend to know, in addition to facing the fact that the question is a life or death one- on a global scale, is a basic requirement for the life, liberty, and happiness of the human race. The financial system is nearing another crash, like the sub-prime mortgage crash of 2007 and 2008, writes Steve Rushton at Occupy.com in his report summarizing a recently published European Green Party paper, The Price of Doing Too Little Too Late. Rushton outlines how investors, pension funds and banks are so heavily invested in companies that earn money by destroying the planet that when the actual wake-up call comes, when the alarm clock goes off and the climate change deniers and their corporate blood sucking psychopaths who pay for the propaganda that enables climate change deniers to pretend that there is still a debate to be had over the Apocalyptic course that human induced climate change has us on-- when those people and those beliefs that together want to extract fossil fuel reserves when we KNOW that if the human race is to survive we must leave at least half of current fossil fuel reserves in the ground if not three quarters- when, all the Sean Hannity's, and Sarah Palin's and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma -- he who, parenthetically it should be noted, likes to quote quotes Genesis 8:22 (While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease") and added, "God's still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we human beings would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous" -- when Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow all these aiding and abetting murders meet the fate of all our yesterdays that have lighted fools the way to dusty death and we wake collectively from our slumber brought on by the gears and the levers that operate the odious machine and we become so sick that we can not take part, even passively take part, and we come together like old flattop grooving up slowly to indicate to the people who own this capitalist machine that unless we are free, this machine will be prevented from working at all and we transition on a massive global shift towards more sustainable energy practices occurs, that funds with heavy carbon exposure- and that number is 95% of all global investment according to the study- will face a shock, that in fact, the carbon bubble will burst and bring own the global financial system. Ok, that may have been a run on sentence. To sum up: The economy will crash again, according to Rushton, because we are so addicted to constant growth, and quarterly capitalism that the global financial elite will march us to the edge of the 2 degree climate cliff just to squeeze some more profit from the products and systems that are killing us. So add one more obstacle to slow the glacial pace (and I mean that in the pre-climate change era of the word) of a coordinated global effort to get the human race untied from the train tracks before the locomotive that is a 2 degree rise in global temperature: our inability to ditch the written and unwritten rules of capitalism. Put that in your feedback loop and smoke it.

"CAPITALISM IS BAD BECAUSE OF D' CLIMATE CHANGE"
if youre going to critique capitalism there are a lot of valid points you could have made rather than spouting some outdated leftist propaganda... -
Acronym TV,
‘‘‘The Psychohistorical-Dialectical Equations’’’ --
STATE-Capitalism [PSEUDO-Socialism] vs. ‘Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY’,
I have become aware of a new development in Marxian Theory, using a new tool of “universal labor” [Marx] -- a heuristic, ‘intuitional’, contra-Boolean, algebraic dialectical logic -- one that has enabled those who use it to develop a model of ‘‘‘The Dialectic of Nature’’’: of an unbroken, self-developing, mounting ‘meta-genealogy’, from pre-nuclear “particles” all the way up to the human, with a prediction as to what is coming next; a model of the historical dialectic of natural history as totality.
“Inside” that totality-model, a model of the history of what Marx calls “the social forces of production”, and of “the social relations of production”, within “human pre-history” [Marx], culminating in the capital-relation/wage-labor relation, at the core of capitalist society, and the self-cleavage of that society into the wages-/salaries-class vs. capitals-class class-struggle that this “social relation of production” imposes, until the capital-relation-incented growth of the “social forces of production” internally destabilizes that capitals-system, producing the -- present -- ‘descendance-phase’ of capitalist civilization.
Their models also predict/reconstruct the “lawful” emergence of a ‘HUMANOCIDAL’, ‘capitalist-anticapitalist’ [totalitarian STATE-capitalist] ruling class in descendance-phase capitalism. They predict a terminal, ‘descendance-phase’ ruling class ideology which is simultaneously ‘capitalist anti-capitalist’, ‘human anti-humanist’, and ‘anti-Marxian Marxianist’.
The ruling-class’s ‘human anti-humanism’ ideology initially spawned “Eugenics”, but, after their debacle with their Eugenics servant-dictatorship, the Hitler regime, they switched to their “Big Money” perversion of the global grass roots anti-pollution movement, i.e., into the “People Are Pollution” neo-pseudo-religion of ‘Earthism’, attacking global working class living standards on pseudo-ecological grounds.
The “lawful” degeneration of capitalist, representative democracy into totalitarian, ‘humanocidal’ STATE-capitalism [‘Orwell’s Law’], in the “advanced” capitalist nation-states, is ENABLED by the hyper-concentration of capital-money in ever fewer hands, which, at length, totally obliterates the “checks-and-balances” among the political branches of government, as the ‘descendant-phase’ plutocracy prostitutes all three branches, plus the news media.
But the desperate, DRIVING MOTIVE behind the plutocracy’s rush to TOTALITARIAN ‘HUMANOCIDE’ is a deep secret, still not discerned by most observers and theorists.
Using this model, they have derived detailed features of the probable higher successor system to capitalism, i.e., of the HIGHER successor social relation of production to the capital-/wage-labor relation, which they call the “generalized equity social-relation-of-production”, or “political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY” -- the ‘citizen externality equity / citizen birthright equity / citizen stewardship equity HUMAN RIGHTS’-relation, which is decidedly NOT a form of pure-state-bureaucratic-ruling-class STATE-capitalism, a la Leninism, Trotskyism, Stalinism, Hitlerism, Maoism, Castroism, Ceaușescuism, Hoxhaism, ILism, UNism, etc., etc., ad nauseam.
The key is to REVIVE CHECKS AND BALANCES on POLITICAL power, as well as to create NEW CHECKS AND BALANCES against concentrated ECONOMIC power, by instituting unprecedented ECONOMIC CHECKS AND BALANCES.
The ‘Associations of [popularly elected, mandated, popularly recallable] Public Directors’ bodies, implementing the ‘Citizens EXTERNALITY Equity’ [‘GRASS ROOTS regulation of deadly local pollution’] Human Right, are an ‘institution-ization’ of the historical experiences of the revolutionary, territorially/residentially-grounded “community councils” that have manifested repeatedly in contra-capitalism revolts.
The ‘producers-democracies’ that are the MARKET-COMPETING ‘‘‘socialized producers’ cooperatives’’’ of the ‘Citizen STEWARDSHIP Equity’ [‘collective entrepreneurship’] Human Right [the ‘socialized venture capital’ Human Right] are an ‘institution-ization’ of the historical experiences of the revolutionary, workplace-grounded “producers’ councils” that have also formed repeatedly in modern revolts.
Each Citizen Steward elects, and can vote to recall, the management of their collective enterprise, and each Citizen Steward votes on ALL major managerial decisions.
Each Citizen-Steward producer, as such, enjoys, by constitutional & Human Right, two streams of income: (1) compensation for time worked, determined via the Skills-Markets, not necessarily equal in amount to that earned by fellow Citizen Stewards, & (2) an EQUAL share in the net operating surplus of their Citizen-Stewardship enterprise. Stewardship cooperatives pay a social rent on their means of production -- held in Stewardship, not ownership -- a social rent that discourages inefficient use of means of production, and that helps fund the Citizen Birthright Equity individual Citizen socialized trust funds.
The Citizen Stewardship Equity constitutional amendment does not outlaw self-employed capital, private joint stock capital, or state-capital. But capitalist firms must play by the rules of stockholder democracy, & must compete, for employees, etc., against Stewardship producers’ cooperatives, wherein the collective self-employers, the producer-owners, decide, democratically, how they will be treated by their collective self-employer, i.e., by themselves.
‘‘‘Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.’’’ CHECKS AND BALANCES are the key bulwark against socio-political degeneration into dictatorship.
The prescription is that the -- concentrated-economic-power-obviated -- POLITICAL checks and balances be “aufheben” retained, as REVIVED by the new ECONOMIC checks and balances, in a new societal system of SUSTAINED QUADRUPLE POWER, with sustained, ‘inter-mutually’ checking-and-balancing conflicts among the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of [popularly-elected] POLITICAL government, and also vis-a-vis the new, ECONOMIC-DEMOCRATIC institutions of ‘‘‘Equitism’’’ -- the social institutions of ‘Citizen Externality Equity’, ‘Citizen Birthright Equity’, and ‘Citizen Stewardship Equity’, described above.
This will require a VIGILANT social majority, that knows what it wants -- the better life for all of Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY -- and that knows the horrors of the alternative -- CIA-Police-State, Totalitarian, ‘Humanocidal’ State Capitalism, already rampant in its ‘STEALTH EUGENICS’, ‘STEALTH HUMANOCIDE’ incipient mode.
The social-revolutionary transition to Equitarian Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY
need not be a violent conflagration -- citizen mass boycotts of the Big, Government-prostituting Banks and other ‘‘‘Corporatist’’’ Mega-Corporations, populist electoral campaigns for legislatures, executives, and judges at the Municipal, State, and National levels, popular initiatives, and constitutional amendments may suffice to change the social relations of production. However, the degenerate plutocracy can be expected to resort to illegal violence when they see that their power is threatened.
Organizing can begin at the grassroots level, campaigning for the adoption of municipal-scale, then county-scale, then state/province-scale implementation of approximations of
the Citizen Externalities Equity, Citizen Birthright Equity, & Citizen Stewardship Equity Human Rights, before attempting their full implementation at the national scale.

Again, Dennis, you are just plain dumb and inexperienced. I was around back in the 70s when all the tree-huggers were predicting a global ice age and a human population of 20+ billion. We were all supposed to be eating Soylent Green many years ago. But none of it happened because the environmentalist-wackos are wrong. They always have been and they always will be. It is just that simple.
I feel sorry for you. Seems like you could have gone down a productive path in life. Try, in your mind, isolating the liberal pinheads who fed you all this nonsense in high school and college. Stop listening to the lies they put in your head. Stop running the programs they put in your mind. Do some research. Go back and look at the moronic predictions of the left...the environmentalist-wackos, back in the 1970s and before. The Earth is a big planet and it is doing just fine. It will still be doing just fine long after the human race encounters its inevitable extinction event. Remember, none of this is permanent no matter what we do, but even so, our industrial activities will not have any significant effect on the life cycle of the human race. -
U speak well but using fear and propaganda to back ur word kinda make u lost credibility , just like my weak grammar in a language i learn in 9 mounth .

We are all just as guilty - if those money grubbing corporations didnt exist it would still be the same shit. Do you eat Meat? - Methane emissions from commercial livestock do just as much damage - but we got billions of people to feed. Vegetarian? - Fertilizers do even more damage than that. -

Way to rip off Mario Savio, you radical left-wing nutjob. The real odious machines of our age are Communism and Islam who are working together (for now) as a 5th column to perpetuate the myth that America and capitalism are evil and responsible for all the problems in the world. Here ARE some real facts though: communists murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century alone. Muslims have murdered 270 million. THESE GROUPS are the great evil of our age NOT America or capitalism.

Capitalism is a Defective Economic System that Creates Economic Depressions, Super Recessions, through Capitalism’s Financial Disasters. Wall Street is Evil Personified. Rich Men who do not want to work for a living, buy and sell stock to get rich. The buyers and sellers of Stocks, are Leeches who are living off of the Work of the Poor. The Rich Men who buy and sell stocks are too lazy to work for a living.
-
In Worker Owned Co-Ops, the Workers work together to make the Business Successful. The Workers are not Slaves, the Workers are also the owners. As The Worker Owners, in Co-Op Business say, Democracies should be more than voting for some power hungry Asshole to go to Washington and take Bribes, from the Rich Capitalist.

What happens after capitalism? The dictatorship of the proletariat and the World Socialist Republic of course!

Fascism comes after, and it's already "after"
