    From the wise words of Ren:

    This isn’t entertainment, this is real life

    The way we live is lunacy, community it declines

    We’re hyper-polarized, we’re always fighting, then we divide

    Truth is less important than the money that we designed?

    Money’s an invention, politics from our invention

    They all come from people’s ideas, did I mention?

    Borders an invention, law and order fuel the tension

    That leads to people killing each other

    My solution?

    Is everything is subject to change

    We could build utopias if individuals were taught to use their brains

    If we teach kids in schools to always be sheep

    And put themselves before the herd if there’s more money for me

    Then there’s no future I see, where the humans survive

    We’re parasites inside a petri dish with cannibal minds

    Mold will grow upon a surface, then consumes till it dies

    And our fate could be the same

    Without this story to the wise

    Sure Capitalism is Cancer except for your know it’s better than Feudalism, and any the length and breadth of the sins of Communism which have been attempted in the real world, corruption, tyranny, human rights abuse, and genocide (Stalin killed 20 million human being all by himself under the mantle of the USSR), so, until you’ve got something which will work better, it’s the Cancer we manage.

    If you think Communism wouldn’t be raping the earth as Capitalism is, you really haven’t spent any time studying Communism which uses ever bit as many resources as Capitalism.

    If you’re speaking about Aspirational Communism, that being Communism which “you know hasn’t really ever been attempted in earnest before, not really you know”, then you’re talking about fairy tales of the world to come, and we need that just about as we do another form of Christianity.
