Not completely. It just has to be directed and supervised so as to benefit the nation.
Corporatism>Capitalism>Socialism

I think it's universally agreed upon by all sentient creatures that, despite the fact that capitalism helped break apart the much worse feudal system that was still lingering in early modernity and established the middle class, by the mid-19th century capitalism had run its course. It became apparent that a system based on a goal of infinite economic growth at the expense of human beings, under the assumption that it had infinite resources to do so, could no longer be sustained as more parts of the world became industrialized.
So even though capitalism was very good in overthrowing the old aristocracy that treated the peasants as disposable, capitalism has overstayed its intended course by a century and a half. It must be replaced with an international socialist system.
The longer we delay, the more third-world migrants will continue flooding the developed world and fucking their women.

Is this going to be the next excuse everytime your system fails? Instead of "not real communism" now its going to be "the technology just hasn't developed enough".
Here's a tip user, if your ideology requires the resources and technology from a different ideology before it can even hope to succeed, you might want to reconsider your views.

I find it hard to make a fair judgement. Obviously I benefit from capitalism immensly, on the other hand the commodification of everything I see as something bad.
I think consumerism is morally wrong, especially because of the effects on the environment and longterm effects on resources.
But is it innate to a capitalistic system or this particular system?
And the alternatives other than maybe those put forward by the degrowth movement seem not doable - I am looking at Marxism here.

There's a certain problematic view that people have with the coming of automation, and it is that somehow because of AI and automation we will all be free to be poets and authors and painters. Except none of that is true. It's not that we're lazy (not that we aren't) and so we just won't get into those activities, but rather the AI and robots will be able to do every single activity better than us. Want to get into painting? Too bad, the robot is a million times the painter you'll ever be. Think you've got a good story in your head? The robot has already made that same story, but removed all the retarded stuff you thought sounded good at the time but now clearly isn't.
Humanity will have no purpose left on Earth other than to spread our ideologies, fight and die in wars, or take in entertainment until we grow sick of it.
