The final ultimate flaw in Capitalism is in its outlook on human needs and wants. While many are led to believe that Capitalism can satisfy the needs and wants of the people, in reality, it does the exact opposite. When looking more closely at it, one will find that Capitalism doesn't satisfy our needs and wants, but rather, it adds on to those needs and wants to the point where they can't be satisfied, as they become far-fetched, idealistic and completely excessive. This is what the Andréists term the “I Want More” Process. Now what does this process look like? Well, the profit motive of Capitalism has time and again been shown to fail in allocating, i.e., distributing, resources properly. Because of this shoddy distribution, Capitalism tends to go overboard in regards of needs and wants by adding on to them through excessive advertising, choices and desires. From the very start, Capitalism puts into the individual the idea that they can have it all and even more, which is an incredibly Utopian and unrealistic thought process, as no one can ever “have it all”, as Capitalism leaves the person to wanting more and more. Because of this, the needs and wants of the individual, and those of the people as a whole, aren't satisfied, because Capitalism keeps adding on to those needs and wants to ridiculous proportions. Henceforth, we must ask ourselves this: do we really need and want such excesses, and do the choices we have available to us truly reflect our desires? Some people, namely the Capitalists, petty-Bourgeoisie and Liberals say “yes, we do need these excesses, and they do reflect our desires to a tee”, but again, if one was to look more closely, they would realize that we do not need all these excesses, and that the thousands upon thousands of choices do not reflect our desires, but instead, merely do more harm to us than good, as having too many choices isn't healthy for the people.
In light of all the negative aspects of Capitalism, we must now ask: what does the future look like under Capitalism? In all, it isn't hard to see that the future will be a dark one, as Capitalism would eventually decay and begin to do nothing but harm the people to where there is no hope of reparation. If the Capitalist system continues, we will see the continuation and increase of bloodshed, poverty, famine, abuse of human rights and general misery experienced by the common people. Even in the best and most prosperous of nations, it is clear that we definitely need a better, more Democratic and more sustainable future, with liberty and justice guaranteed to all working people. If we do not establish such a system, then we will fall into another Dark Ages for the rest of our days. This dark and morally dissonant future is the only one that Capitalism has, so until we learn to move beyond Rightist, Liberal, Bureaucratic and Orthodox lies, and until we learn to accept the phrase “Socialism or Barbarism”, we will always be caught with the wool under our eyes and throttled under the boot-heels of Bureaucrats and Capitalists, alike!
What must be done, then? As previously mentioned, and as stressed by us and others within the Left, we must overthrow Capitalism and install a more Democratic system that grants freedom and equality to all the people, and not just to a handful of people. But what ideologies and thoughts can do such a thing? The answer is simple: the ideologies that will do so are Socialism and Communism, and the thoughts are, and must be, Andréism and all other newly formed thoughts that will follow as a result of the Evolution of Thought. We all must have a new set of ideas that promote the freedom and equality of all, the control over the government by the people, and a fully detailed and thought-out government and economy that works solely for the interests and development of the people, and is not a Republic, Democratic Republic, People's Republic, Democratic People's Republic, Dictatorship, Bureaucracy, Empire or anything else that betrays Democracy. There must be, across all corners of the world, a Directly Democratic Federation, in which the people rule over the government and economy, and where the needs and wants of all are satisfied. This system, which can only be provided by the modern Socialist and Communist schools of thought, is the only one that will pave the way to a better, brighter and more humane future, which is something that Capitalism will never be able to provide!
