The end of capitalism: when and how?

[Bombay]

Is the fall of capitalism inevitable? Under what conditions will this happen?
Some people say capitalism needs to expand all the time. Infinite expansion is of course impossible. Will this cause the the collapse of this evil economic system or will it fall for some other reason?

Nowadays it's much easier to get unbiased infomation on many things and without the internet I would never had become an anarchist for example. Maybe capitalism will fall because people will become more aware of other possibilities. But I'm afraid things will have to go really bad before we will see change. And I don't mean the type of change Obama promised us:rolleyes:

The fall of capitalism is not necessarily inevitable. The past 50 years have shown to us in the first world that we really can be quite reactionary and most of us might never become class conscious.

The conditions required for revolution to occur would include some sort of large financial crisis that affects almost every worker - which typically slightly weakens the bourgeoisie as well. A revolutionary situation generally arises when there is discontent with the current government as well. These things add up - but they aren't necessarily inevitable.

This. I never would have become a Marxist then an anarchist if I had stuck to the biased shit that I find in my school textbooks. But it's impossible to imagine every worker in the world surfing the net, and then stumbling across radical leftist politics.
