Racism and discrimination are pervasive in Germany. Xenophobic and derogatory views remain rampant. To coincide with the International Day Against Racism, new studies have been presented.
I think they’re making the point that societies always change, which I would agree with. My argument isn’t that there is a process from capitalism to fascism and then that’s the endpoint, there is obviously no endpoint to society, it’ll always change and grow – after all, societies are living things. But I strongly believe that there is a path towards a truly free and equitable society - a utopia, if you want - and that path necessitates the end of capitalism.

I agree in that I don’t believe there will ever be such a thing.
Some people are more cooperative-oriented, others more selfish. It seems that this mix has existed throughout the history of humanity, although it’s always the selfish ones, while lower in number, that end up in positions of power, irrespective of the political system in place.

How would you define equilibrium in this context anyway?

A society that reaches a stable state, as in there are no forces tilting it in either one or the other direction. A society in ongoing balance.
