Why would communism be better? The state would own everything you would own nothing

" When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. "

The next economic step is likely the Nordic model of social democracy and then a Star Trek non-monetary system which is likely centuries away.

Soon.

According to Marx: Primitive Communism -> Barbarism -> Slavery -> Feudalism -> Capitalism -> Socialism -> Communism

Right now I think we're peaking for Capitalism during the pandemic (rich profits increased rather than get affected) and now in the early stages of Socialism, the Build Back Better start of the Great Reset.

Under capitalism the progressive class is the proletariat which is destined to overthrow capitalism and establish socialism, which will eventually evolve into communism.

In the first stages of socialism the state is a dictatorship of the proletariat., i.e the proletariat rules the other classes by force (Big Tech censorship, cancel culture, etc.).

Probably after automation gets rid of most jobs and there is a huge political will to convert at least partially. Right now the major companies own the politicians. Probably when Republicans embrace socialism, at least partially.

It won't. It's now global, and is engrained in even the most communist countries like China (on a global scale, not so much locally within that country). They're too invested. The difference is that under the law in the U.S. everyone has equal opportunity, while in places like China only the very top even have a chance to benefit from it. But they still fully engage in it globally, and have for decades, which is why they've bought up much of the U.S. and now own it. The problem in the U.S. isn't capitalism. It's the people in high places who wield enough power and money to keep themselves there, subverting the organic nature of capitalism’s intent.

Capitalism as a foundation has the least likelihood of allowing those at the top to garner all the power, so is the best foundation as long as it's not tainted. But sociopathic people in power have engineered it so that they can stay there, while a large portion of society acts like gullible sheep steeped in unquestioning belief (as opposed to scientific skepticism), trusting anything they're promised or told, no matter how absurd or counter to empirically observable reality. Again, capitalism is the most effective system to ensure equal opportunity for all citizens, as long as it's not compromised by corrupt people… but there will always be corrupt people.

I suspect you don't have a solid grasp of what capitalism truly is. What we see here today in the U.S. is barely capitalism anymore. Big tech corporations have been allowed to monopolize the natural ebb and flow of supply, demand and information, while money-hungry power barons collude with politicians to watch each other's backs, all at the expense of the little guy, which has always been a problem but has been allowed to grow out of control by us, the voters. It's not too far gone, but it's been so twisted that it's barely recognizable anymore (not to mention, it wasn’t completely implemented well in the first place). At its core, capitalism is really just the right for all private individuals or businesses to own capital goods. That’s it. But it’s been complicated into oblivion.

There’s a reason the rest of the world tries desperately to get into the U.S.: capitalism. It’s here to stay because it works. Unfortunately, it's been tainted by greedy corruption into a faulty resemblance of true capitalism, forcing regulations that inhibit the system to flow like it needs to, while missing regulations that allow greed to run amok and allow the powerful to get more powerful.

It will die when the last person on earth gets everything he/zhe/she/it ever dreamed of and there are no more inventions left to invent and we all have true love and eat perfect wonderful food and etc etc etc.

It will never die, everyone around the world tries to get to capitalist America.

What the Democrats will os destroy capitalism and destroy the country

But there will be a place capitalism exist and succeeds and then when they ruin the u.s., they will flock to the success of capitalism and try and change that.

Today you have 3rd world minded people coming from failed countrors.
And these people are so arrogant they tell their host countries they must change.
