Or a planetary infestation.

All organizations fail eventually. Companies lose focus at the top (management), become like a cancer, over extend, and then die off. The remaining assets are picked off. Same thing with governments. Same with unions. Hell, the same happened with boy scouts. Same thing with churches.

What is described is a human condition, not a problem specific to capitalism. Greed cannot be organized out, legislated against, nor fought with fists.

Free Market Capitalism is based on the infinite human ability to create and innovate.

Communism refuses to acknowledge individuals and their skills, incentivastion and has no ability to allocate limited resources successfully.

Limitless growth because competition and technology are supposed to grow with it. It worked really well till big tech showed up and gained a monopoly on everything

COMUNISM is based on the fact that people are nice and honest and won't abuse power.

Shamefully, this has no correlation with real life.

ANY AND ALL COMMUNIST LEADERS ARE DICTATORS

Economic output doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with the planet's resources. Many countries grow by offering services as opposed to goods. Not all goods have the same negative externalities in terms of harming the planet.
