2012 will mark end of capitalism as a pure ideology

Social justice movement a Western reflection of Soviet Bloc in late 1980s

Just like the breakup of the Soviet Union put the lie to communism in the late 1980s, the United for #globalchange / Occupy Together / Take The Square movement will swell in Spring and Summer 2012, and mark the end of conscious human beings believing that capitalism is a practical ideology for governments to follow.

What will emerge is a global consensus, led by the British Commonwealth nations, that the best path to peace and prosperity is through social democracy, a finely-tuned balance of business and government. Growing secular humanism builds bridges between faiths and cultures, and the idea of wars among our nations will become increasingly remote.

Countries will still utilize private business, including publicly-held companies, to generate the bulk of economic activity, and this will be regulated for sustainability, equity and fairness issues. 2012 will also see a major institutional investor revolt, with pension plan managers insisting on dividend payouts from corporations rather than massive executive bonuses for a firm's inner circle.

We will scramble to achieve a sustainable, organic economy, yet we will do it. The efforts of the 99% will ensure the survival of the 100%.
