Is The World Currently Sinking Into Total Economic Collapse ?

Well in the US, we are facing some serious problems for it appears that its impossible for US to pay off its debt.. Print more money. No can do. So few jobs. So many people. Start WWIII. Without nukes. The war machine owners forever richer. Millions if not Billions of people die. In the end. So many jobs. So few people. The way of Capitalism. Freedom reigns. The new world order. The Rapture is upon us. The means justify the end. The way of the world. Yes, there are those who crave for that end result to solve the economic crisis. That is if they live to experience it.

Should we get rid of money altogether as in the The Zeitgeist Movement. I truly believe the general human mind set is a hundreds of years away from even about embracing that kind of concept. Mankind has used some form of money for over 5,000 years. Money is in our nature. Infused in our brain for countless generations. A world without money is world based on science fiction. But I for one will rise my glass for those who dare to dream of a better life and future for us all.

Socialism ! As in The Party for Socialism and Liberation. One can fall in love and be sweep away with the romanticism of it all. Free heath care, better schools, and employment for every single adult for life. The unity for mankind. No more rich people and corporations to oppress you. But the sad truth is, point to any true socialist country and what you see is absolute poverty at every level. Its not working. Cuba and North Korea are prime examples. China is a state capitalist/totalitarian country pretending to be a socialist country. The current elitist leadership of China long threw common socialism ideas into the Pacific ocean. They truly got sick and tired of not having. So in not being true to self, they grabbed a big fat capitalist piece cake for themselves and are currently eating it too. Taste good for them. Oh, they don't forget to spit the bone out to the masses. We all just love deception. Do we not? Come to think of, every missleader, in every political system lives high on the hog.

However, there is another fate that in, due time, await us all in the future. In the novel Dune, the "Spice" is the life. On Earth, "Oil" is the life. Oil is our "Spice". As soon as the last drop everywhere is gone, it back to the Mad Maxx wonderful world. Kings and Warlords will control and manage whatever worldly goods that are left. Unless new technology advances rises up to replace oil. But if its not cheap and effective, then its back to the economic past of a 5,000 years ago. New infrastructure technology always cost a lot of money from the start.

If the economic future feels rather grim right now. That because .......It is.

It looks grim doesnt seem to be a way to get out of it. people are trying but dependence on oil is an addiction to a heavy drug and we are so deep into it that the threat of being cut off one day has us paniced. were trying to replace one addiction with another but they won't take to it like oil. how does our economy change it's structure to no longer be the addict it is?

sorry to break it down to the level of drug concumption but that's what it makes me think of

Right you are.

Oil is a drug .

Money is a drug.

What is going to happen if it all runs out ?

Image chaos, revolution, and mass hysteria and mayhem along the lines the world have never seen.

The world as we know it would have gone mad and insane.

And it will, if not in our lifetime but in another.

The bedrock of all civilization will be lost.

A mad max world it will be whereby you trust no one (or you die).

For you see, we know no life without oil and the concept of money in modern times.

We are not looking forward towards the future much less looking toward within.

The here and now and not the world thereafter is the train of thought of today.
