What if capitalism is unsustainable, and socialism is impossible?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.
Communism can't survive the captivating allure of capitalism.
Nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
If stability and efficiency required that there existed markets that extended infinitely far into the future - and these markets clearly did not exist - what assurance do we have of the stability and efficiency of the capitalist system?
Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism.
The social inefficiency of capitalism is going to clash at some point with the technological innovations capitalism engenders, and it is out of that contradiction that a more efficient way of organising production and distribution and culture will emerge.
While there's capitalism, there'll be socialism, because there is always a response to injustice.
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.
