Rules: you’re not allowed to say “never.” We already know it’s possible it will end when everyone dies because of nuclear war or climate change or some other disaster. Name a specific year (within this century plz) and describe why capitalism will end at that time. Whoever is closest will get an extra food coupon at the local worker canteen. If you joke around I will be extremely disappointed in you :heartbreaking:

My favourite part of that episode is the final scene:

You know, Commander, having seen a little of the 21st century, there is one thing I don’t understand: how could they have let things get so bad?

That’s a good question. I wish I had an answer.

Both look directly into camera and stare, unblinking, for one minute.

Capitalism ended around 1973. We haven’t been in capitalism since before most here were born.
