Blaming capitalism is a little short-sighted. There would be no standard oil without JP Morgan money. Corporate monopolies are not a product of capitalism per-se. It's the financial sector with their puppet government regimes that creates them, feeds them inovations(gov sponsored R&D, foss movement, startup "culture"), and keeps them alive via corruption and "free market" or "consumer protection" or "environmen protection" regulations(yes, 99% of all environmental movements are a rich man's trick Alice). With an army of a new type (or a new kind) of aristocracy and nobility spread across all layers of society from hackerspaces to NGOs to  media up to upper management of various corporations..to keep you - the well-meaning good-hearted, naive idiot - fighting to bring about your own enslavement, thinking you are actually doing something good. Interrestingly, it appears *to me* that the financial sectors image of a not-so-distant future is far worse than what Karl Marxes wet dream would be - which then begs the question whether they are not fostering this corporate destruction of our planet themselves so that (naive) people would actually beg for, cheer and welcome the arrival of a new "global gulag" system they invisioned (as every ruling class has since the dawn of society), a system wrapped in some fairy-tails abou environmental protection, freedom, human rights - you know, rainbow unicorn wrapping paper
