will destroy the planet. Capitalism will eat itself. (Watch There Will Be Blood.) Natural resources will become more scarce and we will kill each other fighting over them and what's left of them.

Money will be the root of our downfall. We need to fight power and money hard and now!!! I see the opposite where we will have more local ruling powers keeping the corporate globalist out of our way.

At the current rate of growth and planet destruction globalism / capitalism is unsustainable!
