Stage yellow case against capitalism

[Infinity16]

I honestly think that people at stage green could be making better arguments for why we should do away with capitalism. Most of the arguments can be resolved with unions, social spending, and regulation. The substack article below tackles something more fundamental.

This link on Substack is about the limits to growth. Basically, some experts at MIT have calculated that capitalism is going to lead to a global cataclysm if the economy does not shift from growing forever into something more sustainable. The main benefit of capitalism is that competition makes the best businesses win out. But this also is the weakness of capitalism as it makes the system unsustainable. Businesses are incentivized to keep on growing and growing. Systems thinking demonstrates that nothing can grow forever.

I might also add that economic models typically assume that people are "rational actors". For anyone familiar with spiral dynamics, this is all stage orange. There is an underlying assumption that the best way to organize a society is via individualistic competition.

Here is another substack article by Devon Price, a stage green trans man who wrote a very good article on the limitations of stage orange:

It is the best system we got. By a long shot. And there's never going to be a better alternative. You can argue for a different forms of capitalism that would account for the existence of disabled people, unlucky people, people in poverty, LGBTQ etc. etc. or whatever wokie ideals you're subscribing to, wealth can be capped at some levels and then redistributed to the society. There's a lite form of such a system in Scandinavian countries. But to argue against the capitalism itself is just foolish
