Confirm.

Expecting exponential growth with finite resources is pants-on-head stupid. Unfortunately, this willful and destructive stupidity is propped up by a major propaganda operation.

Capitalism is more like a parasite. Cancer doesn't benefit anyone. Not even itself.

Which makes the cancer analogy stronger, not weaker.

When the shit hits the fan from climate change, all of those complicated civilized systems that let capitalists make so damn much money without really working for it will be the first to go.

You're thinking of a symbiont. Parasites by definition harm their hosts and can absolutely be fatal.

No. Capitalism is very much a zero sum game.

We don't have to. The rich aren't immortal. There is a real simple solution to dealing with people who value their wealth over the well being of other humans.
