    Is that capitalism destroying itself tho? I mean in a purist way, what you describe is capitalism changing so it does do something but what it ends up in is called late stage capitalism so did it really destroy itself or merely “evolved”? Yes in that stage it is worse for 99.99% of people compared to before but maybe that’s somewhat intended? And most importantly is that stage (more) stable or not.

      The vacuum can only suck up crumbs for so long until it runs out of crumbs.

      In other words, the greedy aren’t letting capitalism be the cycle system it needs to be, it’s a funnel.

      Either the crumbs will run out and the system will collapse, or people won’t take kindly to giving up their final crumbs and overpower the vacuum.

      Any one sane person is only a few missed meals away from acting insane. Any sane society is only a few missed meals from falling apart.

        Yes but you really didn’t answer my question. It’s also debatable if we’re anywhere near that point at this stage

          If a structure is stealing bolts from its lower structure to further amass a larger structure on top it is going to collapse.

          A closed system designed to be a cycle that doesn’t return anything to the bottom will eventually collapse.

          If rain never comes to replenish the earth the clouds are only stuck with each other to canibalize.
