I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline
And with a spark it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
Cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn
The only way that they'll ever learn

Well, a friend once told me, men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels
But now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would they do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning screen

Human beings are destined to fail. We cannot solve capitalism because we are capitalism. Our psychology is great for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but for living in a complex society it is severely insufficient.

The solution to capitalism is suicide.

Space travel. Space travel will solve all problems, people will be able to migrate again, resources will be unlimited. I believe the powers that be would rather stay on earth than attempt the true competition of humans of old and that’s why we have no progress on space travel.

I'm assuming "we" to mean "the communists". Otherwise there's no answer to this question.

Once the middle class has disappeared and the class conflict resumes in the open, we form the proletarian class party, show the word why it's struggling, and lead insurrections aiming at establishing proletarian dictatorship, whose primary tasks will be the suppression of counter-revolutionary elements and the reorganization of production on human basis.

It's pretty easy for men to desire less material goods. Most men want the intangibles (power, prestige, satisfaction) whereas women apparently drive 80% of consumer purchasing. I'm not sure if that's true but looking at my own relationship I believe it and she's not materialistic at all compared to many women.

I'm not a woman hater by any means but their minds are pretty juvenile. I have been meditating for 3 months with notable benefits in my mood and concentration. I can't even imagine a woman meditating.

They were chronically reliant on western grain, by their own data the private plots (~3% of worked land) produced 25% of the food consumed in the USSR.
The system was almost embarrassingly inefficient, they knew it but were too proud to change it, modern Russia alone produces double what the entire Soviet Union ever did.

capitalism is merely and adorning extension of our innate predation/consumption instinct- and when I say 'our' I don't mean "our society" "humans" "animals" or even "living things." the innate predation is second only to material extension in fundamental aspects of composition
it isn't meant to be 'solved' -even meaning is of secondary concern- it IS and it WILL and after we're all gone it still WILL BE

Accelerationism is just a huge cope around the realization that you are a weak pathetic femboy. Resentment festers in the weak, for most it is repressed and indulged in private, but the natural slave born with an above average intellect is capable of building entire systems of tiny-dick-energy around it.

>How do we solve capitalism?

Desire more, desire desire itself, which means to discern and experience what is truly desirable - a process without end, as desire is the grasping of life beyond its immediacy towards the source of its nourishment. In human consciousness this desire is extended into the future itself via our ability to imagine futures. There is a set of potential futures that are maximally desirable, in that both self-interest and selfless interest - all desire - finds its satisfaction in this historical moment. To truly desire such a future beyond all else is to become an agent of change in its service, to be compelled to satisfy it through one's own living motion, to live in this future as its continual arrival. The will that is required to solve capitalism is an endless will to suffer for the cause of life, not a self-mutilation from a self-transformation - such a will cannot be bribed or threatened by Heaven or Hell. This will can only truly be forged by experiencing both extremes, and possessing both extremes simultaneously - immense despair at the life-negating reality of the present and endless hope for the future.

To solve capitalism will require nothing less than a spiritual transformation on the level of the individual and social, a spirituality that embraces the world in full and rejects the desire for eternal permanence / afterlife as the desire for death it is. You aren't going to find this spirituality in any Church or Temple, it is a personal relationship between you and the entirety of your experience that must be cultivated through experience.
