Yes, I agree.  We must abolish capitalism in our own lifetime.  I
actually work toward that end for the sake of my children, other
children, and future generations.  Hegemony, however, is an aggressive
force.  Though I focus my own efforts toward change, I recognize that
most don't.  So the odds of immediate change look slim.  I refuse to
give up; however by acknowledging that even though I may not see real
change in my lifetime, the possibility for change still exists.

By the way, I think capitalism is barbaric.  We can't sink back into
that state of existence because we are already in it.  Could there be
anything worse than the last century?
