Awakenings are times when movements get going. So, the movement is going. Now is the time to bring it to fruition.

-- damn Eric, that was quick. Anyhow, the 2020s would be even better. The less time we have to put up with capitalism's death throws the better

I would say, capitalism as we know it today in America (an oligarchy in which a few CEOs and investors own most of the wealth, control politics through money, and use that politics to destroy everything valuable in order to maximize their profits) is a likely target of a genuine Revolution in the 2020s. Capitalism per se is a broader term, and an anti-capitalist revolution defined as some kind of permanent collectivist socialist takeover is less likely in America in this 4T, or any time in the future.

-- a means of production that relies on infinite resources on a planet with finite resources is unsustanable. It has to give & it is finally. Esp, since, due to automation, one of those finite resources is human labor. More ppl are competeing for less jobs, this cannot last, there wil be civil unrest. Another economic system must be implemented, & will eventually

Fecundity is at an all time low in the developed countries. It's falling sharply in other countries. The problem will rapidly become a problem of lack of demand for goods and services. Later, labor shortages will kick in. In this environment, continued massive capital expenditures in technology and automation will no longer be sustainable. The house of cards will come crashing down.

-- exactly. Thanx for expressing it better than me X
