Setting aside the question of should capitalism be stopped.
I'd be curious if people believe capitalism
can be stopped.
(For clarity, in this case 'capitalism' means the system
as it exists, not necessarily how pro-capitalists would like it to be)

Can Capitalism be stopped #Question #Answer 

@gabriel Based on the 1st answer with a bit more text added and a photo which shows how our friends increase our potential or how will works for us accumulatively ! ⬇️

(I'll delete the 1st reply soon, this is not that much different but needed to add that photo !) ⬇️

====================

If I could frame Capitalism as I see / interpret it correctly in this context, then "Capitalism" IS "us"...

(in super-short reductive way)

...then basically these words in the question are a representation of various knowledge or behaviour of people (combinations of willingness to change or not also a big part) - which surely if they change or head towards different things then Capitalism would surely change also.

"Stopping" Capitalism is going too far for me to say here, but really a "reduced" Capitalism will be seen simply by the WILLingness or the "search for other things" by our own individual and collective behaviours will be 100% for me pulling the slider back from where we came from as Capitalism in which it also is in many senses of that word too, again largely the will (to accept accept the way it is and not try different, to continue cheat each other because trust it too much investment etc etc).

So almost the same way we came, by this reductive ways individually or even general unsaid movement / collective, then it will step down like gears to slow the 'vehicle' and more importantly give chance for transition (for example let's say if everyone really believed in me, that believing in even 1 person, even if 75% right or worth believing in - actually works and in history has done. Could be bad example but I also put you or anyone at the front as basically we are all mostly aligned and just following consistently and trusting / testing wisely is almost "the only thing stopping us")

(without making this about me, even some Mastodon admins could apply this)

So then that's my answer as a kind of proof, that almost as reflection of the question is itself, we are part of "it", Capitalism, the trust, the behaviours, the testing each other... so answer or depends on you / "us" ⬅️

Even the damage done or reliance on Capitalism I consider still playable IF people want / will for it even by small increments (consider will ➡️ action working like compound interest and opens up even more mine-sweeper :win3_minesweeper: points to explore or action).

And so the justice is just "us" here as the being of many things and many senses of that word as Capitalism to thrwart or not (like thwarting or regrowing our mentality)... by doing these things less AND / or just doing "these things" more (such as try showing love, working on trust, giving out more freely without worry etc etc - again as super-short words but really measurably giving).

Even without too much focus on Capitalism that would work with a bit of incremented will power / time thrown into it.

(below is a reflection of my answer above...)

Usually I write about the negatives in order to learn positively but in this answer it's clear we are capitalism or many thinkings about our world as what it taught us or took advantage of (compounded and can be un-compunded in time) so this answer is the neutral type of thinking and the reality could turn around as fast as 'the will' to change happens realtime....

Like, right now. Someone reads this and believes... gets in contact and boom a site goes up and we start making the compound interest of that belief takes it's own course like snowball. That simply process of the will and will to follow ourselves leads to better ways (because you and I have the skill) and thus chances snowball too (even if not always doubling).

Right now by my own account (literally Fediverse account if you look back) people are not wanting, are still waiting for less painful way, or too tech aligned (=BigTech aligned) etc etc

So apart from a few here (if I may include you) it isn't right yet or needs a better group or face for the project or whatever aesthetics (imagine great people are still scared of their own shadow let alone "Capitalism" and I have the first-time responses from great people to show not just distrust but really waste of time thinking paranoid thoughts or assuming I'm A.I because of the way I right - so yeah they are not mature or passionate enough and have such bad excuses)

And the number of people gathering around this daily is near-0 as 2 way conversation (which is why I favour the talking part first to build / sort ourselves by whoever shows up).

That "till the end" type stuff hmm maybe exists but usually Tech and playing with computers gets the best of people and distracts from ACTUALLY changing people physically ourselves (voice and existing video material, our writing etc).

There are some individuals for sure doing part of "it" / change... but it's just extra Tech and not people orientated or not @the people work" then it fails by it's own measure.

If the will is there, let's say to trust me to see for 1 year what saving the world means (also because I have the most time than any other Fediverse person I know of) and if we make space to grow or create (not just wait), then suddenly the percentage for saving the world goes up suddenly like a "Back To The Future" scene where not fighting the bully = death of people in photo (them fading from his life's timeline) and they don't fulfil potentials, but if they do deal with the bully while accepting they are all different / even having to learn 'strange' and make friends, then suddenly by doing / trusting / (dare I say enjoying) then the "potentiometer" suddenly says it's by it's massively possible.

I might redraft this but happy you will get most of that Gabe.
