The point is to keep pressing for change. As surely as christianity will eventually expire, so will capitalism. As the final crisis of capitalism approaches, the world will get really ugly, far worse than it is today.
What follows capitalism will determine humankind's future. I heard it expressed as being that after capitalism, we will have either barbarism or socialism.
As regards to a working example of socialism here and now, the best on offer would be Cuba.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
