    Natural evolution? What? When has late stage capitalism happened before now? And the analogy doesn’t even hold up. Whack comment.

      The analogy might be questionable, but the logical and inevitable conclusion of capitalism (markets and the profit motive) is the continued accumulation of power/wealth by those who own the means of production.

      Barring very strong regulation that somehow manages to avoid capture or a perpetually benevolent ruling class it becomes defacto fascism.
