    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst An American socialist and an American Libertarian talking about Capitalism sounds to any Progressive person a nice debate. Independently of that, everybody in the planet is actually concerned about the changes our societies are passing through, the environmental crisis, the geopolitical shifts, the tech acceleration, so many black swans one after the other... Capitalism has been the engine of democracies, and oligarchies. Unfortunately there is a dystopian possibility that capitalism will serve only to oligarchies in the next future, creating what a new word says, "democratures", Russian or Chinese types. So what kind of real solution we have instead of capitalism? Socialism has stopped in a 20th century dream, fascism is absolutely nightmarish and other alternatives based on commons, new structures (e.g.DAOs) are just in their infancy and we can't even force which future will have. But then if we work with capitalism, it should evolve and change to allow us to protect the planet, the species, the communities, the persons themselves, creating new networks not based on profit per se, but on values which underline humanness and relationships. The 4th IR will create new connections, which are our opportunity to positively transform this.
