More capitalist dictatorship. If capitalism was so great, they would not need to use force to put it in place.

Capitalism is the economic system that most mirrors the way things work in the natural world. The downsides are, it can be harsh and very un equal. But very good at creating wealth and Innovation, hence facilitating evolution..........

In about 50 years, Russia went from an wholly agrarian society to a modern society without capitalism.

The reason why capitalism is evil is because capitalism allows people to amass wealth far beyond that of many of their fellow human beings, which places more and more power in the hands of these wealthy individuals, who, as a result of their increase power over others, become more am more separated from their fellow human beings, and begin to enslave their fellow human beings, and, worst of all, eventually begin to believe that they are superior to their fellow human beings, and start to dehumanize their fellow human beings, sending them off to fight in wars were they absolutely would never risk their own lives in, wars to aggrandize themselves ever more causing widespread suffering and death of their fellow human beings. These people begin to think that they are elite, special, chosen by "god" . . . . above the laws of nature even. The humans who rule believe that they are "chosen", and that the masses are meant to serve them, and while they pretend to be the protector of the masses, they are actually the exploiters of the masses.
Meanwhile, those who are not in the upper echelons of society, as the power of those who are increase, begin to be more and more humiliated, dehumanized, and believe themselves to be powerless to change anything. They believe most readily what they want to believe . . . that god will help them if only they pray more, that their leaders have their best interests in mind, that if called to go fight somewhere, that there must be an enemy, and a good reason . . . . they become so humiliated and debased that they do not even bother to question why they are being sent to their deaths, why they are living in abject poverty, why they have no power whatsoever.
Capitalism brings out the very worst in man by introducing unfettered competition against one's own species, to the point of murderous competition, dehumanization, wars of aggrandizement, wholesale slaughter. . . . destruction of the world as a sustainer of life . . . in short, a reality that becomes a nightmare of annihilation, self-destruction, a witches brew of horrors, a Pandora's box of evil.

@Archeus_Lore Exactly my point, survival of the fittest by ruthless competition......

@Archeus_Lore Sad, but true. I feel your passion and heartbreak.

@Dhiltong Problem is "facilitating evolution.........." is not correct, it is facilitating nuclear war, and that is not evolution, that is devolution . . . so no, it is not the point.
