    Any attempt to abolish "capitalism" will end up with those who currently possess the capital winding up on top, and the cycle continuing.

    However, if we instead abolish exploitation of specific non-renewable natural resources, we may be able to get somewhere while impacting the mechanisms that drive capitalism in the process.
