I've found this article that I invite anyone, who is interested in the way this old planet of ours is going, to read.
The failure of socialist theory is much more than matched by the failure of capitalism because the latter has the entire responsibility for keeping the status quo functioning, and it has no intellectual basis for doing so. The crisis that exists is that capitalism has reached a status of most destructiveness, and no opposition to it exists.
This malaise involves foreign affairs and domestic affairs - vast greed at home and adventure overseas. If the foreign-policy aspects are largely American in origin, the rest of the world tolerates or sometimes collaborates with it. Its downfall is inevitable, perhaps imminent. The chaos that exists, much less comes, will exist in a void. No powerful force exists to challenge it, much less replace it, and therefore it will continue to exist but at immense and growing human cost. Visions to create alternatives are, for the moment at least, mostly cranky.
It is nothing new and is something that I think lots of people have come to realise, but it makes me feel better to read someone else saying it so that I know I'm not going mad. Because I feel that world has gone bonkers or maybe has always been like this. It's just that now they try to make us believe we are having it so good. Are we really? But at what cost?
