Only necessity i.e. global breakdown and chaos can create the necessary conditions for a post-Capitalist system that distributes wealth and power in a more equitable fashion and also protects nature which is the foundation to our species survival.
Maybe the situation in Israel will facilitate that global breakdown. At the moment there seems to be a growing outrage at the shameless massacre of children that the IDF are perpetrating. If the far right Zionist Israeli government have pushed things too far which makes it impossible for their allies to keep defending their military strategy that involves child massacre, they could open a fault line between the century old US-Israel-Europe alliance and we could start to see traditional geopolitical superstructures disintegrating. For what it's worth I don't think what Israel is doing is overall morally defendable but I also think that Hamas and the Arabs would do the same or worse to Israel if only they could so I'm certainly not taking sides- just noting that chaos reigns when there is no global government that can split these two fighting factions apart. If the Ukraine situation escalates too we really could be on the brink of global meltdown in 2024. Certainly worth taking some precautions and insurances.
There will be nothing pleasant for anyone in a global breakdown and it is certainly nothing to celebrate but after a necessary horrifying and painful period of history the world could end up in the place it needs to get to for planetary ecosystems, the climate and humanity to stabilise. Seems like there is no other way but the most difficult way.
