In a few decades or so, capitalism/corporate dictatorship of society will no longer be able to function as a system. If continued all resources may be depleted: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/mar/14/nasa-civilisation-irreversible-collapse-study-scientists
Hope it hurries up, maybe we should support people who want to get rid of regulations so this can happen even faster. I'm giving my support to neo-liberalism. Hurry up and deplete those resources.
We will be forced to switch to a planned economy of some kind as a result. |

| @Steve, the resources and money being concentrated on the hands of a few is causing the earth's resources to deplete fast. Including the cheap labour resources. Once they deplete enough it along with a combination of climate change could cause an irreversible collapse of industrial civilisation according to scientists. |

@theofficial, communism is not a system or form of government. The system used is actually called Socialism and its about a society where employers must work as hard as their workers/employees to become richer and getting to democratically elect your employer unlike in capitalism. They are not allowed to keep the majority of the money.
Now for communism its more of a belief that socialism will prepare human nature for abolition of the state and money in the distant future. People are not literally paid the same but depending on their rate of work in socialism.
Anyway, its a good thing that if industrial civilisation collapses and etc. And resources deplete that you can't have capitalism anymore and will be forced to switch to some form of planned economy to prevent things from getting worse or to survive. |

| @Aard, Neo-Liberalism refers to unregulated liberal capitalism. Giving corporations more power and getting rid of regulations. Its a good way to help the collapse of industrial civilisation or depletion of resources happen quicker by supporting them and getting people to adopt coal and oil which are more profitable but hurt the earth's resource rate instead of other resources. |

Tony Abbott in Australia for example is doing this and Australia is now becoming one of the least-renewable energy based countries, also plans to cut all work conditions and regulations to reduce wage rates back to 19th century ones for workers. |

that's what I meant. They go "uuuhhh let the free market do its thing" as if the free market is an intelligent being and not dominated by money-hungry businessmen.

| Thing is it will also be more fun if you could make it that it causes industrial civilisation to collapse before switching to a planned economy. The world's been boring lately and not much has happened at all. |

the article says nothing about neo-liberalism being the way out
or saying this is a serious issue
it offers no timely evidence
it even says its a longshot of a theory by NASA.
this is one article, lol you make it like its a big deal
"However, the scientists point out that the worst-case scenarios are by no means inevitable, and suggest that appropriate policy and structural changes could avoid collapse, if not pave the way toward a more stable civilisation." |

"Although the study based on HANDY is largely theoretical - a 'thought-experiment' - a number of other more empirically-focused studies - by KPMG and the UK Government Office of Science for instance - have warned that the convergence of food, water and energy crises could create a 'perfect storm' within about fifteen years. But these 'business as usual' forecasts could be very conservative."
you realize there are thousands of these sorts of articles every year, and professional economists and scientific community don't take this seriously. |
