I also sympathize, and agree with the conclusions.<p>But it's VERY important to remember, that "the economy" (capitalism, the "thing", whatever you want to call it) is NOT an entity unto itself.<p>While this is a nice metaphor, it's not realistically accurate. The economy/capitalism/thing is actually a collection of a very small subset of the human population. Which IS actually brutalizing the rest of the human population and the physical resources of the planet.<p>But it's not a run away AI, or alien invasion, it's "us".<p>People are screwing other people and trashing the planet.<p>When we talk about "getting rid of the system", this really means disenfranchising this very small minority.
