Capitalism breeds greed, and greed drives self-preservation.

Manufacturering encourages overconsumerism, because they keep the production line moving.  Do you realise after the 20th century, with all the international trade agreements written all over the place, there is intensified capitalistic consumption and innovation has stopped??? What mind blowing invention have rocked the world lately? None? Because of greed, and the capitalistic desire to drive the perpetual consumption cycle, innovation for energy, life saving medicine has been shelved or lost funding!!!

Instead tons of money are spent on war, products consumption, life prolonging medicine. As a result, human immunity has weaken, machines designed not to last long, and drugs are design to relieve sickness not to cure.

On the same plane, dont you notice some govt so fearful loss of ruling power, they did come up with internal security acts, gerrymandering, propaganda media control to dellude citizens that everything is fine and dandy, (V-Vendetta, the dictator rule in future England, the media channel is intoxicatingly pukeable).  This fear of competition drives them to focus on fixing the oppositions instead of developing good governance, that all citizens welfare, holistic living has been neglected.  Ultimate screwups everywhere, when protests and demostrations, strikes are tell-tale signs of mis-steps in their governing policies.  Resulting in inflation, recessions, high costs of living, wages suppressions, suppressed medical benefits, rise in crime rates and corruption.
