i don't think there's any way to get rid of the inequality in capitalism, that's just basic dialectics. everything seems to tend toward fascism, so the best system is the one that best denies its own fulfillment.

the big problem with capitalism, though, is that there isn't any force that can check the development and expansion of the system. in fact, the only way to keep it going is to make it bigger and bigger as it becomes more efficient. this is incredibly wasteful and self-destructive. the system has to invent goals as it runs out of concrete ones. it pulls us deeper and deeper into a self-destructive nightmare.

i think the only system that makes sense is an enlightened dictator. of course, anyone who's enlightened would never accept the position :P
