Nice question, Oliver, well done. But none of them even addressed it in their answers! If I heard you right it sounded as though you were asking: given that we evolved from a single cell organism through survival of the fittest, how can we know whether the current evolution of capitalism will lead to good or bad? How can we know what complexities will evolve and what benefits or disasters they might bring? It is of course, at a material level impossible to answer, but worth a bolder try!

Oliver, bravo. You have had a good week.

They should just let Zizek talk, this is like hearing an adult talk among children

@MasqueofAnarchy Would have been much better if the panel was full of Marxists with different perspectives.

It's funny hearing liberals defend capitalism when the very problems they identify are the problems inherent in capitalism. Zizek is the only person who really knows what he's talking about. At least they're talking though.

Ron Paul Interview 1988 A Must See!!by Chewbacca197875,829 views
Yes Karen. Also, one of the failings of communism is its top down command & control centrally-planned approach. In a true market economy, decisions are made bottom up by individuals coordinated by price signals. There is no central planner. Similar to evolution, there is no grand design. When things evolve we just don't know where it will go until we get there. Ronson's last comment was on point here. The fish parliament would have not approved mutation to amphibians because its not 'natural'.

I agree. Dialogue is good. However, as can be seen in this instance, it's much easier to talk about specific anecdotal problems than talk about systems in their entirety.
