How capitalism will end is really clear. It’s still cool, in the entry exams for elite universities, to claim that «capitalism is the greatest system ever invented». But even the most confident voices now betray a tremor when asked if capitalism must survive.

Good read.
Thanks.

I prefer:
Fully automated luxury communism.

I believe that it is correct to view (FALC) from a utopian perspective, not in the sense of something that is impossible but in the sense of something that attempts to open up the sense of future possibilities as opposed to a mere repetition of present conditions. Partially this is to act as a critique of the present, partially to act as a spur towards an open future.

This sounds, strangely enough, like the beginning of the ™ timeline, if you ignore the whole war with China/ McCarthyism 2.0 aspect, and the whole "ending in Nuclear annihilation" thing.

It's kinda what I'm aiming for, to be honest.
