    Two of the largest drivers are religion, christians wanting their Sharia Law, and Russia taking political control of the US.

    Capitalism is in the top three, sure. It’s also part of the driver of that technology.

    I don’t think we should worship capitalism as we have, but I don’t think getting rid of capitalism as a whole solves more problems than it creates.

    Give me capitalism with heavy socialist controls and political separation please, thanks. The general idea of using money as a measure of what society owes you isn’t terrible. It’s allowing that measure to get so out of whack and have such inordinate control of everything that is the problem.
