There is a one-time button you can press, it expires in 24 hours. If you press it, capitalism in the entire world will be overthrown in a timeline ranging from a few months to a whole decades; a new political ideology and economic system will take over. You don’t know how (violently or peacefully), you don’t know how fast, you don’t know how many will die, you don’t know what ideology or system will replace it, you don’t know whether the alternative will work or not.
If you don’t press the button though, then capitalism will be fated to NEVER be overthrown in the entire world. We will have capitalism until the end of human civilization, whenever that is. No matter what systemic pressures emerge, no matter how unsustainable or unworkable it may become, somehow the global capitalist elite will keep holding on to power and keep it running. A permanent world of consumerism, exploitation of labour, profiteering, stock markets, corporations etc…
Do you press the button? Why?
