   @Radical_EgoCom I would LIKE to see capitalism abolished, but I don't think humanity is sufficiently advanced to adopt any other system of distributing goods. The only way we could currently make a non-capitalist society work would be to impose a brutal form of communism that would be abused by those in power.

     People have already developed alternative systems for distributing goods. It's called socialism, and many countries have adopted it. Humanity has already proven that it is sufficiently advanced enough to adopt an alternative goods distribution system other than capitalism.

     Even if no country had ever abolished capitalism, that's not proof that it can't be abolished. Countries, having been able to implement the amounts of socialism they already have, is to me convincing enough that people are sufficiently advanced enough to adopt an alternative system to capitalism.

     @Radical_EgoCom I wouldn't say that any country has "abolished" capitalism. Even the socialist countries still allow people to operate businesses for profit - so those countries have a hybrid socialist / capitalist model. Certainly the more the spectrum shifts towards socialism the better a country seems to work....

     @Radical_EgoCom Of course it CAN be abolished - and I hope one day it will. However it must be with the whole-hearted support of the people.
