Creating a Future Without Global Capitalism Requires Building an Economic Structure That Creates Socially Beneficial Solutions and Puts People Before Profits.

A future without global capitalism is a difficult thing to imagine. It is impossible not to notice that around the world, more global economies are moving in the direction of a version of capitalism.

A free market is the basis of a strong economy. Even in countries like China and Russia, elements of capitalism have begun to dominate how business is done.

The result is that there are now some very wealthy entrepreneurs in countries that never before allowed capitalism.

At the same time, the same flow of wealth into the hands of a few, while the general population struggles to survive, is common in other capitalistic countries globally.

The paradox about the spread of capitalism is that a future with global capitalism may be on the horizon because it is becoming so widespread around the world.

Most nations are incorporating capitalistic concepts into their economic models to be able to compete on the world stage.

But as each culture evolves capitalism and blends it with their historic economic and political systems, the dilution of capitalism may actually damage it. It might be appropriate to celebrate that capitalism is spreading and call it a victory over the teachings of Karl Marx.

We should not be too hasty. Even some of Marx’s earliest writings hinted at a spread of a global system like capitalism, and he saw it as fitting with a grander scheme of unification of the world’s economies.

It is that unification that may be using capitalism to cause diverse economic systems to blend into one.

If so, that would imply that the real future without global capitalism simply plays into the hands of a small group of very wealthy people who are manipulating the world economies with the purpose of keeping them subservient to a master strategy.

Socialism on the Move

To say that worldwide capitalism is the death of socialism is not just a mistake. The truth is that it is the opposite of the truth.

A future without global capitalism means a future that replaces pure capitalism with an amalgam of capitalistic values that are little more than slogans to be used as adornment for a genuinely socialistic system.

In no country where socialism was firmly in place has capitalism replaced it. Instead, capitalism is added to the existing economic model and a slow but methodical absorption of capitalism into the socialist state is undertaken.

This is not just the model being executed in well-known socialist countries like France or Denmark.

There is plenty of evidence that even America may be facing a future without global capitalism as a very real possibility even within its borders.

The Marriage of Socialism and Capitalism

The very thing that has made capitalism successful is its ability to adapt and evolve to fit the economic demands of the culture of the day.

That ability to absorb other economic systems may be the very thing that makes a future without global capitalism a reality.

Already in the United States, staunch enemies of socialism who speak with passion and volume against it are very comfortable with many socialistic elements of American society being used in practical ways.

While socialism makes a good public enemy to stir up a patriotic meeting or tea party, few crusaders against socialism would give up their public roads, parks, stadiums or schools that are funded by all for the use of all.

That concept is the heart of socialism and few Americans would want to live without it.
