Great essay Faron, albeit a bit too long for the typical Medium reader. Pundits keep repeating the notion that "it is easier to imagine the end of World, than the end of Capitalism". Maybe that is because the former is much nearer. But, actually Capitalism ended several years back and now we have a sort of Techno-Feudalism. When it comes to alternatives, please be careful what you wish for, and note: https://medium.com/@daneke/slouching-toward-untopia-bf0a92f9d595
