@aral Not going to start a huge debate here, I just have to get something off my chest. My personal emotion, not saying others have to agree, but here goes:
"Late-stage capitalism _fill_in_gripe_" looks, to me, just like rubber-necking at a highway pile-up. A lot of the world, including all the *isms seem a bit "late stage" these days. Changing the course of our societies does not hang on any *ism, or "system". It all boils down to bad faith actors (people and decision-making bodies)1/*

@aral ...actors making decisions that are detrimental to the rest of society.
We should not allow changing all that to be made or broken by picking a new "system". That kind of large scale change has several problems:
1 takes too long
2 requires too many different interests to agree on picking a whole new set of values, and sticking to a plan.
- outcome can not be known, largely due to 1 and 2.
