26. My personal view is that the limiting factor of capitalism is going to be climate change.

There will be no market when people are going hungry and thirsty.

Just posted a a couple days ago here, and it really puts things into perspective (if the constant release of reports since the 70s hasn't already scared you to death):


My personal view is that we don't have the time to progress through social democracy. However, you've put in an interesting idea here: what if capitalism is going to fail soon anyways? Can we make a case for supporting social democracy?

My initial thoughts are no: we still need a revolution in order to establish socialism in this country. But there's a lot more to it.

I'm going to have to think about that, and maybe make a post or two here in the future about it.

Interesting thoughts. I agree that facism is an unfortunately likely prospect. When the tea partiers finally realize just how screwed they are, they will take it out on everybody around them, and they'll be ripe for harvesting. Someone will happily take control (they're authoritarians--there's a reason they love "security&quot and be able to use them to gain dominance. Also unfortunately, that person is likely to be one of the current wealthy sociopaths that we have in charge right now.
