Capitalism

[Sicks Bux]

I was at Brunswick Street today and the Socialist Alternative had set up a stand outside Adam Bandt's office. I asked them why progressive people should support them, instead of the Greens, when the Greens are better placed to have an influence. They told me that the Greens believe you can reform capitalism whereas Socialists believe it needs to be abolished.
How do you folks feel about capitalism? Can it be reformed? Should it be abolished? Or is it fine as it is?

Stuff is fine the way it is, change happens organically as people want it.

Socialism doesn't work, pure capitalism is probably not much better, capitalism with a social conscience in a democracy seems to work pretty well.

I guess I'm pretty much in the reform capitalism camp.

But one thing I've heard about capitalism, that I don't understand, is that it must continually grow, otherwise it'd collapse. I'm not sure why that's the case and I'm not sure how infinite growth is possible on a finite planet.
