Do you believe you will see the collapse of Capitalism and the rise of Socialism in your lifetime?

Do you believe you will see the collapse of Capitalism and the rise of Socialism in your lifetime?

no

No.

But we will die because the rise never happens.

nah

Yes


maybe

No, we will all die in my lifetime tho.

Yes.
Much more iffy.

Capitalism is on its last legs, but there's no saying that the system that replaces it will be socialism.

our job is not to enjoy the spoils Socialism will offer, but to secure it so at least our children's children will.

I imagine so. The push for UBI is an act of desperation that is doomed to fall apart fairly quickly.

Definitely.


If I survive the revolutionary war, sure.

Definitely
Maybe, but probably one last burst of hyper authoritarian capitalism with Asian or Aryan characteristics shortly followed by extinction

Haven't you seen the good news?
We are not going to see the collapse of crapitalism because there is no future at all.

Yep
Not for humanity, our extinction causes the collapse of capitalism.

Maybe some proper agitation and the reformation of a decent international leftist community. But capitalism actually has to piss off the majority of people before they do anything about it, and most importantly, they have to KNOW it's capitalism.

postmodernists get out

considering I'm gonna live thousands of the current age of the universe, yeah, I'd hope that kind of stuff would happen eventually

I honestly think UBI will be the true late-stage Capitalism.

The thing is, how long with UBI last as a system? 50 years before it's contradictions make it fall apart? I think every variation in Capitalism has had about 50 or so years in it.

This, unless I end up committing suicide early.

The collapse of capitalistism is to marxists what the second coming is to jehovahs: future indefinite

i'm not only planning on being there for the collapse but also there for the eventual rebellions

People *do* things about capitalism every day without realizing its contradictions Fascism, in particular, is an extreme form of exactly this. Capitalism itself inherently pulls apart at the seams.

A solid leftist international and a world without class exploitation is what requires solid theory. This may seem pedantic but the distinction is quite important.

nope

pretty sure climate change will get us before either of those things have the chance to happen

Definitely. The crash and burn will be spectacular

Maybe, it depends on who's ready to act when the fall happens.

There will be many collapses of capitalism in my life time. It's in a constant state of crisis from its very beginning :^)
