"Faced with the prospect of capitalism actually ending, the most common reaction (even from those who call themselves progressives) is simply fear. We cling to what exists because we can no longer imagine an alternative that wouldn’t be even worse." . - David Graeber

"In politics it used to be actually possible to think big. To think about things like: the U.N, space programmes, the welfare state and so on. Nowadays, no Govts are thinking on anything like that scale and seem to be completely incapable of doing so. Statesmen seem to have given up on the idea that they can create anything fundamentally new or bold." . - David Graeber

Back in 1949, Albert Einstein wrote WHY SOCIALISM.

Here is an extract.

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital, the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information – press, radio, education. — Albert Einstein (From Why Socialism, by Albert Einstein 1949)
