Capitalism is bad!

yes, interested? I would prefer if you would have your argument fully written or at least fully planned before accepting the debate. I did leave the debate open so you can technically do whatever you wish but that's what I would prefer. rules1.) My opponent must argue capitalism is good or neutral in terms of over-all effects. I will argue that it is bad._______________________________________________________The Buddhist Darma is a concept that involves the role of desire in our everyday lives and continual perceptions. I accept this as the best alternative to capitalism and I will explain why. This philosophy notes that all desires wish to maintain themselves and spread like fire. Often times people say that money is the root of evil but this is false. Desire is the root of all evil. Capitalism is the primary example of this today. The problem with capitalism is its embrase of never-ending desire. There can NEVER be enough money in the system, and no individual person can really even HAVE enough of anything. It promotes such a bottomless monstrosity of desire for everything and in promoting money as the solution to these things it creates a completely devestating situation in which the people's minds are consumed not with personal development or care, or compassion, but it runs people through a psychological rat race to increase capital.This desire inevitably promotes and brainwashes people to become consumers. Naturally this results in a massive increase in CONSUMPTION everywhere. This consumption is destroying our fragile ecosystem and resulting in global warming, war, gentrification, nationalism, pollution, alienation of ordinary individuals from society, and massive wealth inequality. I also argue it causes mental health issues which result in psychosis, massacres, and a general disconnect from reality in all sorts of people. Furthermore, "The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.616 billion in 2018. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.6 billion by mid-2030, 9.8 billion by mid-2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100." (https://en.wikipedia.org...) so this problem is anything but going away. To large degree consumption is inevitable and nobody want to live without electricity or heat, however the problem is not so much that these inventions exist and assist humanity, as much as it is the obscene amount that these are being used, not to mention the meaningless items we purchase and use. I think the song "Zombie" by "The Cranberries" shows the way that people become mindless consumers in the system of unrestrained exploitation that we DO live within. People are oblivious to the fact that those who consume Become consumed and the #1 problem we face today is nothing I have listed before, it is instead this mindlessness which becomes prevelant. People no longer seek to make huge positive impact, instead they largely work for their portion and call it good. This system and its effects are what I would call bad, or against the interestes of people on the whole. I again argue that one good alternative is to renounce the blind-light that capitalism offers and focus on what is within.
