The problem is mathematics.

Capitalism requires that profits always increase, but we live on a finite planet, with a finite amount of land, a finite amount of resources, and a finite number of humans... always, eventually, the ONLY option to continue this dichotomy is to squeeze your existing customer base, and extract as much value from them as possible (by devaluing your product). Unfortunately customers do not hold unlimited value, so the house of cards will collapse one way or the other.

Clearly, the only solution is to wage a war on mathematics.

Thats never the ONLY option, its just that the biggest winners in capitalism also make the rules, so they choose to always be the winners

There are other options of course, but those require the proles choosing something besides escapism.
