      Capitalism, like all pyramid schemes, requires constant exponential growth in order to function. It can be temporarily allayed with reforms, but if you miss the mark to transition it to socialism, it just is cancer and will kill whatever society it has infected.

      It’s a terrible fact it’s a necessary step in societal development, but we have long since found the cure and roughly the right time to excise the tumor.
