Care to elaborate?
Most of these cults/communes don't make it past the first decade. The longest lasting ones rarely make it past a century.

- rbanffy 10y agoCapitalism, when not regulated, tends to increase inequality. This will, eventually, lead to instability and a societal reset.
- Symmetry 10y agoWe've tried almost entirely unregulated capitalism. Inequality increased, but only up to a point. It didn't increase without bound.
- toasterlovin 10y agoCapitalism doesn't need to be perfect in order to be a better system for organizing a society than communism.
