  6. Capitalism never worked, it was simply enforced and that by exploiting billions of people and the planet. It's overall simply the same as feudalism, a system of greed and by that with endless hunger. The reason that life became better for people wasn't capitalism, but technological evolution, capitalism actually stole from that, made everything much worse than it could be and led to endless wars, even today, which are all about capitalist trying to steal from others to feed the endless hungry system and its want for growth (mainly of wealth in the hand of these capitalists). Of course the capitalist propaganda whitewashed that endlessly, mainly talking about "free markets", what alone is a ridiculous joke, since capitalism it eh opposite of a free market, it's the despotism of oligarchs. Same with the whole idea of the "free market system" regarding supply and demand. Supply and demand is ALWAYS and in EVERY system a crucial factor. Capitalism abuses these terms as PR speech for two completely different things: exploitation and greed. It is simple to explain: there is absolutely ZERO reason that a small supply should raise prices. A small supply means, that there is less to give out, so you would have to focus on those in need or just give everyone less of a share, in case you can't simply raise the supply. If a low supply raises prices meanwhile, this mainly means that not those in need will get their share, but those who can pay such prices for it. And of course this leads to supply simply being exploitet and reduced on purpose. Same or demand: while there is a natural demand for certain things humans want or need a system that lets you raise prices and profit with it simply means that they will try to create fake demand, what on top of all other things will lead to waste of energy and resources. All that of course build about the real core of capitalism: that the means of productions, so mainlys machines and now also "AI", are owned and work for a very small group, while the giant rest of peopel have to sell out to those oligarchs to survive. Neither machines nor AI would ever be a problem in socialism = means of production are owned and work for the whole SOCIety, so everyone profits and if there isn't enough need for human labor, because machines are simply so good at doing it, all the better. It's like all those high cultures which got all the time in the world to talk, to read to think and alike, because they had slaves doing all the hard work for them. The difference is, that machines do the same much better, much faster and that without any moral problem (as long as we don't create an AI on purpose that would suffer doing this work like a human would).
