I want to end Capitalism is what.
To what ends? What economic system do you prefer?
One arranged such that the people who work and produce, the people who WORK, directly control those instruments of production. A society oriented explicitly on common good, and the liberty and improvement of all.
A world where WE own the value that we make. Where we all share in the benefits of new technologies, rather than be destroyed by them.
Not one where any minority, be they state officials, military commanders, nor the capitalists or their bought politicians rules.
And the end is the future. One that's free of human self harm, economic exploitation, and environment destruction. Because those are things that we can achieve, we do have the technology, just as we could solve every crisis in the world. Try me, it's easy. If you make just one concession.
History didn't end when Rome because an Empire instead of a Republic, it didn't end when the city was sack, when the papacy was formed, or when Napoleon brought it to heel. It didn't end with the liberal revolutions, or the civil rights movements, or the Arab spring.
Freedom! That's what. For one and all of us, except who are determined to stand in the way of liberty for working people.
Ask the fighting people of old Ukraine, who called themselves Maknovists, what should happen in that case.
There's a good bit of contradiction in that. You're assuming everyone wants to work and just be a regular good person. Many steal. Many are lazy. Many are psychpaths. Many will fight and good just for the sake of it. We can't legislate good, we can only punish some bad. What you wrote is a dream that cannot ever happen. Any sufficiently peaceful and good society attracts bad actors that wish to take advantage of the good and trusting people. It's really quite unfortunate.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. - JFK
Not capitalism. A system that’s not this system.
Well lucky for you we don't really have capitalism. We have the next worse thing... Crony capitalism.
That's just Capitalism working for the people it prefers to serve
