Yep the current capitalist world order benefits infinite extracting moneyed interests by mass exploitation and it must be completely destroyed.
I prefer the term "technofeudalism"
Let us hold hands and nuke ourselves I guess.
There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.
Getting rid of monarchy famously destroyed all the benefits that enlightenment brought the people. /s
Yeah, and as we all know it goes very smoothly with no long running issues. France in the early 1790s was a great place for all, if memory serves.

Most monarchies didn't get 'destroyed' and most peasants living under monarchies didn't have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.
... just because the world is more interconnected doesn't state anything about how much the people have to lose. Inequality in income is ridiculously high rn.
There are no winners, only survivors.
Careful, you're going to make a lot of the dotworld liberals very upset with this one.
Welp
Yeah, it's not late stage capitalism, it's peak capitalism.
Yeah, but if you want to destroy the system you need to have the military on your side, and they won't be, which means you'll need to actually defeat them, which isn't likely, unless you take a lot of bases... with an already existing trained force... all at exactly the same time... with a huge force... of loyal, extremely secretive, organized, huge, military...
Look, maybe if you're A LOT more politically involved. Like running for office involved and you really work those wheels of progress things can gradually be improved. Seems less fantastical.
Capitalism will never be destroyed. Too many settlers would rather be in the middle class than stop it.
Damn ozma, hittin’ hard.
