Antoschka - Ekaterina Moshaeva: If people do not change their mind, their consciousness, it can lead to a catastrophe. There’s nothing after this, you know. I think that after this there would be nothing, if people do not change their ways of thinking and ethical values, because capitalism already had its best times and now naturally declines as everything ever born has to die, like every structure. It has got ugly forms with time and is completely deformed, because people following this system hoped to gain a lot of the experience, to get more free time for personal growing for everyone. It caused the contrary effect: much more exploitation, robbery, and a much stronger deformation of everything. And people will be forced to find another structure. Besides I am convinced that the most important thing is to change ourselves. Because when you search for some information in computer, there is experience and knowledge of a great deal of generations. And yet it’s a yesterday’s information. We should come to a new knowledge. |
Abbas Beydoun: I do not know... I think after capitalism will be capitalism too. I guess that capitalism as a classifying system will not fall. Capitalism creates other kinds of capitalism which are more progressive, so I can not imagine that we can live now without capitalism. |
Alvaro Restrepo: I think capitalism in a way has been a perpetuation of Darwin's survival of the strongest, of the fit. I think that humanity has to find a synthesis between the values of solidarity and justice that were in the utopia of socialism and find in the values of competitive democratic societies the sense of freedom. But we cannot sacrifice a freedom in order to have solidarity, the same as we cannot sacrifice solidarity in order to defend freedom or free competition. I think if we do not find a balance between this two ways of functioning in the world there will not be anything after capitalism. So I insist the values of solidarity cannot be sacrificed in order to have freedom, because, otherwise, freedom is that's not authentic freedom, the one that is preached by capitalist systems in, if we do not have a society that is based on the principles of solidarity. |

Andries Botha: I suppose, after oxygen there will be dioxide; after capitalism there will be human beings. Capitalism is only one system. I believe that we need to move towards a new kind of human responsibility, sort of human ethic towards how we consider our future economic systems. I don't believe we have the answer right now, and I also don't believe that a simplistic critique of capitalism is going to be the answer. I believe that we need to -- I really do believe we need to consider that not all people can survive optimumly within the ethic of the survival of the fittest, the fittest being the most predatory, the most virile. There needs to be a manner, there needs to a system where we can all participate with a certain degree of security within an economic system that doesn't simply depend on our ability to be the best. We as human beings need to feel that we have a place of security. The human body is frail and kind of always be virile, fit. Statistics would reveal that the world is diseased and incapable, and I think a lot of that is depend -- is a measure, is a measure of our inability to cope with the systems that have been presented to us as normative. |
Angaangaq Lyberth: Were, I’m sure that if Mankind knew what is after Capitalism they would have arrived there already now. But nobody seems to understand either what Capitalist means. Remember that everyone was fighting about the Democracy and Capitalism and Communism? Both are wrong, as you know today. We all know that now. That Communism was wrong, so is Capitalism. It’s not working either, just like the Communism is not. So what will come after that? I believe that the equality of everyone will come about to all of us. That no matter where we are that we’ll be able to use the same monetary system and have the freedom to move about, to have a visit for you and your family as you will be able to come and visit me and my family on the top of the world. And that’s what will come after the Capitalism the way we know it today. Let’s you and I we agree that it is not working. As it hasn’t worked with other things like the Communism. I do look forward to the day when I can come and visit you and you can come and visit me without having to worry about what is in your pocket. If it is Euro versus Krone or versus Dollars. |
