It's clearly not merely for the sake of growth though. Humanity is growing. Basic Evolution of the Earth, plants, animals, etc. mandates growth. Thus to provide the food, water, energy, housing, and other resources for human evolution, it necessitates the growth of these resources and industries. When you bring in almost 7.3 Million illegal immigrants in 3 years without developing those resources to provide for that population, you destroy a nation for votes to consolidate complete and total bribed corrupt Communist/ neo-Marxist Authoritarian Power.

I have to go back to the same company from where I bought for any maintenance and repair as it generates good revenue for the Company.

If aliens came to our planet they might have question why we need price tags on things since modern day advances in Science and Technology already enable us to create superabundance of goods and services. There are enough resources to feed, clothe, house, build hospitals, schools etc for everyone on the planet. Real food production capacity in one country alone (the US or Argentina) is probably enough to feed most of the world's people. Resources are plentiful in our planet, from fresh water to energy from the sun (day light) but the way we ration and use resources is very counter productive and a menace to our own existence. Also, we don't have to limit ourselves by a handful of socio-economic arrangements such as Capitalism, Feudalism, Monarchy, Socialism, Communism, Dictatorship. We humans are good at innovation but the most powerful people of today don't want innovation past these few optional ways that keep them on top. However, that does not mean we are not capable of achieving just that.

​@@polupopus5836 to put it into perspective, we live in a Money Based System where we believe people only do work if they get paid... how many people do volunteering work in this system? We have Doctors Without Borders for example, we have countless parents raising their kids and they aren't becoming financially richer because of it, not necessarily. When there's a natural disaster a lot of people volunteer to help. In the old days a lot of the people who advanced Science did not become wealthy and had no money incentive to do the work they did, in fact many were ostracised, ridiculed, sent to prison, killed (i.e Alan Turing, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla)... now where's the incentive in that? They did it because they believe in it. It also seems many Scientists don't do Research because they want to get a Nobel Prize, they do it because they want to solve a problem. Soldiers go to war and don't come back filthy rich. They often come back in coffins actually. So why do they do it? Because they are made to believe in a cause. If money was most people's incentive to be "activated and do some work" then why aren't most people going for Investment Banking, they could make more money that way. Why studying something that won't allow you to make that much money? For those who are religious, even Jesus Christ sacrificed himself not for the sake of money but for the sake of what he believed in, no one had to pay him. Martin Luther King, Gandhi did not become filthy rich for the work they've done, even risking their lives for others. Where's the incentive in that? Also, with the capabilities of modern Science and Technology it seems we can already create Super Abundance. Just step into any average food factory, car factory, modern warehouse, modern farm in a developed country and see how much work is being done by machines and automated systems. The output is enormous and it does not require millions of people to keep it up if done properly. The US alone probably has the capability to produce enough food for all 8 Billion people in the world. Now they won't do it because of "how the Market works". In the old days you'd step into an elevator you'd see an elevator operator, he's no longer needed and the elevator can do more and better work than before. When we are born we are given everything for free, food, care, shelter, education... is that bad? Not necessarily. We still get breathing air for free, is that bad? Should we work for it?

[@heliocardoso3884]

@@polupopus5836 Are you aware that with modern technology we can already automate countless jobs? Have you ever been to a modern factory, warehouse in the most developed countries? It seems that the output capacity of factories, warehouses, farms etc are ever increasing without having to employ ever more people. All this is done in a system where people need to make money to survive, so imagine a system where people's survival is guaranteed regardless. If your worry is having the max amount of people employed then lets bring back the elevator operator, let's bring back the horse and buggy, let's bring back boats rowers, let's ditch the modern combustion engine, let's bring back men on horses delivering our mail worldwide How many parents take care of their kids worldwide? How much do they get paid? They pay for their kids schooling, do they expect the kids to pay them back with interest? Do you know about Doctors Without Borders? Are you aware of how many people engage in voluntary work worldwide? When a Natural Disaster strikes people tend to help each other free of charge. Not all experts charge people for their advice. Oxygen is still free, does that spoil people? Contrary to what we are led to believe, money is not the only incentive for people to get things done. People still get things done if they believe in what they are doing. Jesus Christ did what he did and he didn't become financially wealthy, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Leonardo da Vinci. If money was our only incentive why aren't most of us going for Investment Banking? We can make quite a lot of money in that field right?! If we have a lower standard of living than what is currently possible it certainly is by design by those in power.

Sewers for example could be automated with a variety of new tech such as smart materials like those researched by Skylar Tibbits (MIT). Also, adjusting new solutions to the current old cities most people live in might be challenging, building cities from the ground up with current updated knowledge might work better in the long run as the new cities could be make very composable (easy to be upgraded as tech advances).

@@chris.bcfc.keeprighton.5685 That’s just not true looking at the history. Capitalism started 200 years ago in the western world.

Even 27 European countries have formed and united peacefully. Which is a total contrast to the times before capitalism. Most wars since then happen in countries that don’t participate in Western capitalism. In capitalism the economy grows, so does income and wealth for each member of society regardless of inequality which could be largely addressed by politics. Social security systems, democracy, education and healthcare for every child - all those things came AFTER capitalism had established. Capitalism makes people rich without violence. Bill Gates, Elon Musk or the ALDI brothers (in Germany) didn’t have to kill anyone. That has never been possible before capitalism, say, in the middle age.

It is nonsense to argue that a permanent increase in capital is a natural law in light of the fact that all human body temperatures are 36.5 degrees Celsius.

Locke's assertion that all wealth comes from labor, Adam Smith's assertion that the source of nation's wealth is labor, and Marx's assertion that labor begins with materialization as an object all speak of money as a means of guaranteeing value. The balance of market, competition, cooperation, and the equilibrium of production and consumption was possible based on this money, and capitalism's lasting growth was possible. However, as money became fiat money along with financialization, the prosperity of cooperating humanity is about to end. economy not any more, it is just gamble on which the future of humanity is betted.

51:19 The idea that growth is inherent in mankind is so wrong and has numerous counter examples. We have seen societies rise and fall. And we enslaved our neighbors brutally for 12’000 years before we created machines, several thousand years after Archimedes. Capitalism made this possible and there is no sign of being a sustainable system: ecology, natural resources, emissions, capital accumulation… all continuous but obviously finite processes. Only machines created dynamic growth per capita. Capitalism and its phenomena of money, debt, investment and profit created machine innovations in a dynamic fashion. It is rather remarkable that socialism also did organize growth in a planned (not dynamic) fashion.

End Money Now! Economics is the single largest drain on society.

In an end-stage capitalistic economy such as ours, they need to start the Universal Basic Income by giving the billionaires significant annual "hair cuts".

[@thee-consumers-px5sd]

So...let's centralise government, give them all the power and forcefully distribute wealth "equally" :) Haven't tried that before..

[@KutloanoMatela]

If Capitalism is so evil why do people from non first world non Capitalist counties come to first world Capitalist countries? If people love Socialism/Communism yet migrate, transition or transform into Capitalism, Capitalism doesn't need self defense against anti capitalists. Capitalism is the best Economic system for a nation in the world. It's not perfect don't get me wrong but it's certainly better than socialism and communism. Capitalism is the recipe for a wealthy rich hard working innovative meritorious free happy law abiding successful patriotic nation Communism is the recipe for disaster tyranny dictatorship misery and death for the masses Socialism is the recipe for stagnation in pursuit of equality of that sense entitlement laziness decline and poverty.

1 Timothy 6:6 To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion along with contentment.7 For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out.8 So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things.9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin.10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.

we need to let capitalism do its thing. central planning has led us to our current situation

[@michaelgabrielcube233]

We build and we grow, and as through every generation, they build, bigger and better, with its core being productivity, because as long as there is productivity, there will always be growth, but yes, capitalism might not end, but the world will anyway so... One solution to stop this vicious economic cycles is to just remove debt, as its like throwing away the wine rather than drinking it to avoid depression which really is only temporary, and eventually you'll go through not, not to say that's its bad, because really its like puberty, and the good thing about puberty? growth. If we somehow survive for a 1000 more years, our universe might have already grown so far and big, and in fact, too big for the technology we would have in 1000 years in the future to handle, but its dark side is that there will always be people who will be left out, and it is that itself that capitalism really fails with, as capitalism was a promise that it would lift everyone up, but the reality is that only for a temporary amount of time. "there are three ways people succeed in life, 1st is you work hard, or work smart if your lazy, or you can gamble and cheat" Lastly, remember, stormy and winter days wont last, just as sunny days eventually turn into stormy days, and that itself is what makes life special, as we always treasure our sunny days, hopefully enough to keep us going so that we may see one more sunrise.

In this documentary lots of things get confused: capitalism is not the same as consumerism. Other factors like demographics are not considered. This docu is more idealism, i'm disappointed for the lack and absence of thinking. Our economic growth is mainly caused by the creation of debt ("money") and inflation, but today "money is made by money", not by more production or more consumerism. The velocity of money has NEVER been so low as now and is declining for more than 20 years. People in the west are buying less every year, but our demographics and population growth after 1945 still plays a big role. Soon World's population will shrink like never before and other problems will arise. It's just a cycle, in every historic period. There is no perfect "economic system". When you make a documentary, don't try to shame/blame one side of the cycle.

[@psikeyhackr6914]

GDP is Grossly Distorted Propaganda What is Net Domestic Product? Economists subtract the depreciation of Capital Goods. But how big a factor was the depreciation of durable consumer goods? During WWII the production of consumer goods was stopped. Their depreciation did not matter. What has the planned obsolescence of consumer goods done since 1970? The NDP equation does not subtract consumer depreciation but consumers did not buy computers and microwave ovens in the 1950s. We have been running the planet on defective algebra since 1945 but by 1960 most Americans had televisions to be brainwashed for Consumerism.

“ growth” the 1% drug!

[@blazejnycz1]

Money is important, and monetary system and general rules of capitalism are ok. But the problem is that 90% of the people on the globe don't really understand this system. Money is just a temporary paper (digits) issued by the Cenral Bank of particular country, and by definition there is rougly 2.5% of new currency issued to the market per year, which helps liquidity, but can rise the prices of some goods or services... (then we have what we call inflation). Obviously through C19 lockdowns etc, etc... they issued roughly 30% of the currency to the market.... tokeep the system working... Luckly we have to many goods in the world so it didn't make too much harm... Again... Currency is just to confirm/make an agrement betwen the people and the institucions. So we can exchange labour or goods fluently... that helps quicker grow.. that's it... Am I correct... Good luck to everybody👍

Marxism is not the answer … here’s some simple fixes … tax the mega rich …. Give all young people 100k free no tax so they can build … higher the wages so monopoly board has more money on the board so there can be more growth which will allowe for true market creation… council tax need to be re-calculated as uk most expensive house pay 0.001% to rest whom pays any where from 1%-10% if not more …. All basic need housing , food , utilities… none can be mega profit areas these thing people buy daily to live they not luxury they are necessary you can have luxury versions were people coming ridiculous profits but there has to be a basic so all people truly have a fair shot at being innovative and a capitalist system….. country that do regulate housing doing well … Norway who takes country asserts and invests it to more assets or to stack that money in a country fund are able to use the interest it makes to fund a lot the country …. The eco system that gov ment to be building strength of country based on it asserts and talents make it strong with more balance between the meagre rich whom could only get that rich via large a mouth people not being gaven fair just wage for it time ….. there company in America that pays all his work 70k and doing very well and people whom work there go extra hard cos they inspired to not cos they forced to and any one with kids can have unlimited time off when needed …. There many example of good capitalism…. There enough money in system gov spend much this wrong like on wars it has no bussiness in as most where spyop poxy cos of dollar oil and over throwing gov in country to make them less stable for greed and power … military protecting poppy filed or mine control agency mk ultra secrete black projects …. Isreal funded by the west cos of a Jewish problem noting to do with the west many in west live together all races of people … poverty gotten worst since gov become more corrupt lobbyist over throwing democracy…. Most wars based on not hearing other side cos this work in interest, in those waging war which been shown to be big money laundering of country wealth …. News and film push sex and blood fest to demoralise the peoples lack of moral or wisdom in film that could have a positive impact lifting them up with good ideas rather then overly masculine women , weak white men , who don’t fall under vikings or politicians …. First they disempowered the black race with music drugs crime so on but there been a shift which is great to see more positive film…. Film impact our thinking can inspire rather then twerking half naked women across all genres all type of film has to be sex sense or violents … which I see just allowed to lower moral standard in reach for freedom how freeing when respect your inner power bar been set so low … I don’t have all answer nore to I clam to be a expert just sum food for though …. On capitalism and how gov could do more to make country and people have sumthink to feel proud of where where your born does not matter what matter how innovative and creative you can be to add to creation of our for fathers …. Protect country and its people first … build the people up with positive inputs when come to entertainment not propaganda of right or left whom are the same btw …. I love all races so pls take what I’m saying with its intent to just want everyone to feel truly not be divided and conquered but to unite and prosper no one should be with out in world of abundance…. Farms should not be mass produce as pollutes environment old fashion farming in recent year proven to be great for all …. Propaganda would have you think otherwise …. I think plenty can b done for better country and gov and peoples …. I think a lot just lies based on one set winning not all …. Fear mongers. Ruling by fear is a new way to rule and is not real power.
