Will it further your political ideas to help the very worst of your political enemies? Is this really a hard question to answer?

What if you are all wrong and capitalism is not so destructive that a complete collapse will happen. Just bad enough to ensure the majority of humans will never ever ever get to not suffer extreme want and deprivation. The system can survive that and squash the odd rebellion here and there. So far it has always managed to beat back severe opposition from the workers, from spiritual leaders and ulta-violent political movements. I think it likely that our current economic system could in fact survive almost any apocalyptic scenario where humanity does not go extinct.

Ok that`s interesting. But that`s not a apocalyptic scenario at all. If you are rigth there is no need for revolution ,just let the system evolve itself peacefully into something better. Things won`t get worse it`ll actually just get better if we unleash capitalism.

But since the elite will own the machinery that will replace labour why won`t they just kill us all? To them we will just be useless mouths incapable of defending ourselves. The 1% would and could implement the final solution to the problem of class struggle.
