21st Century societal organization in the post-capitalist age

We sit in a budding era, a new millennia that has either enlightened or degraded human consciousness; (if humanity is not altering its very foundations of consciousness) this is yet to be seen. The tools that have been developed and the theoretical physical advancement that has occurred have lead to humanity’s greater role in our universe as a creator. We as a species are now able to create intelligence that can learn and build upon information far more efficiently than humans. Due to automation and organization we are able to manufacture, distribute and expand the production of goods exponentially at a rate unseen since the industrial revolution. We are able to create hyper realistic 3D dimensional virtual realities that become exponentially more accurate each day. The global accessibility to the internet has brought forth an entirely new world and form of virtual life as well as providing unlimited access to information as well as disinformation. Globalization has lead to the fusion of cultures and has begun the dissipation of the dominant white Christian culture. White nationalists have since attempted to preserve their dominance in the world utilizing (albeit successfully) the fascist and naziist methods it has before, except this time with growing cultural and youthful (yet unorganized) resistance. The most prevalent question of this new millennia however is whether human civilization will survive this century as technological and industrial advancement has lead to the destruction and pillage of Mother Nature and her resources. Climate change is the central issue for our species’ survival, and capitalism is the culprit. There will never be respect for non renewable resources and even the lives of ones own posterity while there is still profit to be made from the scarcity and domination of things like fossil fuels. We’ve come to a point where a painful reality must be accepted; it seems to be too late to save this earth, yet it is not too late to save humanity. One of Stephen Hawking’s final proclamations to humanity was that if this species is to survive for further generations, we must focus energy on becoming a multi planetary species. This goes hand in hand with dismantling the capitalist structure that has lead us the this dim point in human history. I, however, am not a pessimist on this issue as I believe this is entirely possible. Yet for this to be accomplished, society must be reorganized and we must efficiently utilize these tools and theoretical advancements that I have spoken of. The immediate attention must be paid to the struggle of lower classes in this nation and around the world. These new age “Democratic Socialists” must address the core principal of socialism: workers control over the means of production, or else the structure and cycle will never change. Merely raising the minimum wage does not address the core issue of worker exploitation and the suppression of wages for the exponential expansion of corporate and executive profit. We must redesign the economic and market system for the worker, through mostly democratic worker control over production. The we must use our information-age scientific advancements in nuclear energy to treat other planets for human habitation. We are witnessing the last stand before the collapse of the American and global capitalist empire, but it is up to us to erect a future.
