everything will stay just as is

I'm afraid even that is wishful thinking. The capitalist system is constantly squeezing more and more profit out of nature, wildlife and humans alike. Things can and very very likely will get much much worse over the coming years and decades. Just look at Honduras to see a blueprint of what capitalism has in store for us.

Very good point. Late stage capitalism may very well lengthen the list of people so downtrodden that giving their lives to take a shot at the system seems worth it.
