"So here we have a system we thought is gonna last forever self-destructing before our eyes. What I'm really worried about is the next thing they come up with might be even worse. It could be some sort of fascist..." "Who is they?" "Well, whoever ends up picking up the pieces." (David Graeber, 2011)

Capitalism itself—industrial capitalism at least—has had a very brief historical run. During a mere 200 years, it has nonetheless shown a remarkable ability to come up with threats to the very existence of the species: first nuclear destruction, now global climate change. . There are good reasons to believe it is simply not a viable long-term system: most obviously, because it is premised on the need for continual growth, and economic growth cannot continue forever on a planet with finite resources. . Capitalism that was not based on the need to continually expand production would simply not be capitalism; its fundamental dynamics would change; it'd become something else. Whatever economic system predominates in 50 years, it is very likely to be something other than capitalism. Of course, that something might be even worse. This is why it seems this is precisely the wrong time to give up on imagining alternatives to capitalism: that is, to come up with ideas for what might actually be better. - David Graeber

This is why we need to be talking about Capitalism.
