Marx was right


Marx wrote, some 150 years ago that “capitalism, if it wants to be sustainable, has to penetrate to each corner of our planet and submit it to its way of operating. When, in the end, capitalism penetrates all the markets (e.g. becomes global), it will start lacking space for expansion (and exploitation, op.ed.) and that would lead to its final collapse.” He was right.

The Future

How the World would look in the not-so-distant future? Something like this:

  • Humankind would consist of only a couple of millions of the richest people. Everything will be performed by machines/computers. The rest of the population would perish, since they’ll become obsolete.
  • Survivors would play Monopoly day and night, in order to take capital from others. It will be meaningless, but fierce, nonetheless.
  • The social order would still be capitalism.
