    In plain English, Marxism is about about cycles of evolution. As anything else, capitalism will die naturally. And it's about to die. It's now agonizing.That's why it's demonized by the middle and upper classes.

    Capitalism == money driven ideology. Money will not die, it will evolve. Maybe you will start paying directly with your life force, who knows.

    You wish.

    Take a look at movie "In Time". It will get your imagination driven on how far can capitalism go :)

    But that's also just a phase. Just as World War III, post-atomic horror, etc ...

    And then you have a distant Star trek-like society with humanity depicted as having evolved beyond many of the social and economic issues present in contemporary society.
    Driven by principles such as cooperation, exploration, and the pursuit of knowledge, human society in "Star Trek" is portrayed as a utopian civilization where poverty, hunger, war, and discrimination have largely been eradicated.

    We judge based on what we know now, not unimaginable things humanity (or what will be left of it) may know hundreds of years from now.

    BTW. I doubt that creators of "Star Trek" has anything with commie or reddie but you cannot find anything in this film about capitalism:)

    Yeah, all of this becomes obsolete in a distant Star Trek-like era. That's my main point. We're just a phase, a blip in time.
    Our arguments are based on what we know now, not on what humanity will know hundreds of years from now. We're like cavemen trying to discuss something as complex as rocket science.
    Even right now, I feel like killing each other over something like artificial borders is stupid. I mean, what for? So that I can pitch my flag in your soil and steal some of your crops? Hey, keep your crops. In fact, I don't have much, but I can share also some of mine with you. Just live and be happy, if possible.
    If we were just more aware that we're all in the same boat. Inhabitants of planet Earth.

    Whatever systems of management (capitalism, socialism, monarchy, anarchy) it will always fail because of one reason: greed. Due to of our intrinsic greed there is no perfect system. The good part of greed is that it still can be seen as the best justification of our freedom.

    Hopefully we will get through this stage; but how can one remove greed from DNA while also keeping freedom? It is hard when the financial system and wish for power are so deeply soft-coded in our brains. We are about to enter a new world war for domination in hopes of a new emerging superpower to control peace. Is such species fit for exploring an infinitely expanding universe?
