It will fail, inevitably. It's unsustainable.

Yeah yeah yeah... Capitalism bad, m'kay ? I only see it becoming stronger and stronger with the growth of huge companies like Google Amazon, apple, etc. That are already beyond national level.

As megacorporations swell, and disparity rises, so too does exploitation. Disparity rising is not a good thing. This leads to instability and collapse.

Capitalism is only a few hundred years old, what do you think we are talking about?
