The Collapse of Capitalism. Fiction, Fable or Reality ?

I'm increasingly convinced that politicans, left, right, centre or everywhere are completely and totally incapable of changing the world for the better good. Art on the other hand is a dimension that one can afford to have some faith in, as the short film below shows, most poetically.

Quite frankly, the complete and total collapse of Capitalism, Communism and other doctrines of governance is something that should have happened a long time ago, and no, i'm not advocating anarchy. Idealism leads me to believe that the better nature of man is one that is inherenty apt at sharing, that is before social constructivism storms into the picture and rips the canvas to shreds. Peer to peer governance and Resource-Based Economics that allow for a free, fair and transparent bill of rights for every individual in society, not just those that are born in the bastions and castles of the elite provide provide potentially sustainable solutions to the ills and predicaments of life on earth as we know it today. It all sounds so lofty and it's easy to write about, but will it ever happen ? Well, with Canada pulling out of The Kyoto protocol, in itself a flop, and yet another failed climate conference, the road to the seabed seems to have been shortened somewhat for our dear mother earth, the Titanic ship in which we sail. The real question is, will the band keep on playing until the end, that is will the party go on as the elite jump into lifeboats and flee the scene as the proletariat remain onboard, doomed to drown or will a new world doctrine based on equality and fairness emerge ?
