TL;DR: Capitalism solves everything. /sarcasm.

Some day humanity will realize that the freedom to say and pursue a different opinion, is not the same as "competition".

The freedom to a diff opinion, and pursuing it, is good. Cooperation and sharing, is good. Competition, is bad. It focuses on "wining" and not on solutions and improvement.

PS: Yeah, I know, I live in a wrong, fucking, century :-(

Bah to your sarcastic pessimism. Doesn't help you, doesn't help the world.

Here, read this and upgrade your thinking on the subject of failings of capitalism and why they are so: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

Could we please not pretend the failings of capitalism are entirely coordination problems and/or eldritch abominations? I mean, come on, your average capitalist society is actually very well-coordinated when it comes to the interests of big banks or agribusiness.
