Well if it isn't the best system why is it the system we have? Survival of the fittest, duh!
Be the change you want to see! Load up on cold cathode tubes and shove them in your PC or wherever else you can think of!
I hate to burst any utopian bubbles out there, but the problem with society ultimately isn't capitalism, or communism, or socialism, or fascism, or any other system of government or economics. The problem with society is people. We are the problem. While some systems of government are certainly better than others at protecting us from our ourselves, eventually they all crumble and succumb to our depravity.

while not due to elons personal “brilliance”
