-Interconnectedness: When has that ever worked? In 19th century Europe it was thought, quite reasonably, that intermarriage among monarchies would prevent brother-on-brother war.
-The EU successfully interconnected.
-Economic globalization. That was supposed to be the silver bullet, both economically and geopolitically. Didn't happen. Interconnectedness has meant if one member gets the flu every connected member does.
-How is theoretical capitalism not a theoretical perpetual motion machine? What expands infinitely and indefinitely without contraction? What only grows bigger in perpetuity? Not individual persons. We grow and then shrink and eventually die. Not individual companies. They live to die. Not our universe, the universe for crissakes, all that we are and have and ever have been and have ever had. The universe is still expanding but will eventually contract and shrink and then explode again and expand.
-Capitalism leads to imperialism and war. New markets must be captured. Eventually, even worldwide, you run out of new territory to conquer.
-Bubbles. Like the universe. You blow up a balloon but it has limits and internal gaseous pressure eventually causes it to burst if you don't know when to stop blowing.
How is capitalism sustainable?
