With enormous poverty vs wealth, capitalism is proving to be an unfair / unsustainable economic system
Capitalism is undemocratic ( http://occupywallst.org/forum/our-democratic-deficit/ ),
dehumanizing ( http://occupywallst.org/forum/dehumanization/ ),
and exploitative (article coming soon).
It must be dismantled and replaced by participatory democracy: http://struggleforfreedom.blogg.no/1320873951_the_society_we_should.html
Capitalism died in 1929 - read "Death by Technology". What we have today is a free for all perpetuated by greed and ignorance.
I know you think you know everything. You might want to reconsider after you read this:
"We Are Free!"

It will last as long as it can fend off Marxism and anarchism.
How long will capitalism fend off fairness ?
Unfairness has pretty much stood the test of time for all of civilization. The chances of it changing in our lifetime, if ever, is pretty slim.
communication has globalized
Well what would define as fairness? Communication may help in some places, like what was seen in the Arab world. But is it really going to lead to fairness? Or just a turnover of who is oppressing who?
ideally that communication should remain open
and how would you run a lemonade stand?....at some point in the "concensus democratic" process lemons and to be squeezed and people have to be served.
It has stood the test of time.
Humanity has yet to come up with any system that provides for as many people as capitalism.
Capitalism has not provided for everyone. And with the extreme unbalance of wealth, capitalism is becoming frowned upon by many.
Let's all be poor together, and better yet, the unimaginable poverty of half the planet. Yeah, what a dream, equal agony. You're just too stupid to be real. Sincere people can't be this stupid.
Gee as long as kids can set up a lemonade stand next to the bike path and charge 1.00 for bottled water and people pay it...YES....
