0.1% of all people control 99% of the resources, are you willing to live in a world like this?

Last year, 2016, the top 10 corps became RICHER than 185 /total 193 UN/ countries COMBINED.
From Top 10 richest entities on earth, 7 are not countries.
And you think who makes the laws of this so-called democracy?

There are many who already know how unfair and broken the system is. I doubt there are many who would hear your message whom would be educated by it. The propaganda machine has been reinforcing the virtues of our current system since birth. It takes a lot to overcome that programming.

But just becoming aware of it really changes nothing. We need plans for a better system, plans to convince the masses into believing it, and plans for how to peacefully transition into it. Do you actually have anything to say on that?

Ofc, I do have what to say. Just one word: revolution.
No dog will ever give you his bone without fight. Your "peacefully transition" is a daydream.
But how you prevent a system, even the best one, to be corrupted one day? I don't have an answer. The best I came up with is some unhackable AI, which will write the laws. You can laugh but the worst thing in man was and will be the greed.
Technology should be controlled strictly. Give priority to all those, which benefit society. Example: there is at least 50 years old tech for bulbs which never break, they glow 100 years. Why not implemented? You guess why, not good for capitalists. Eradicate the "need" to work. Walk free. Control the population as done in China. Free science from corporations, it can give the humanity a lot. Exterminate all private cars. Make transport free. Cap the amount of wealth permitted to a person. Free medicine from corporations. There is much more..but its enough for you to flame.

^ control this, prevent that, take away this rights, gib power to the state... and then you wonder why the thread de-evolves into talk about Communism.

Then your revolution will just kill a lot of people for nothing. It will suck.

You are so afraid of corporations, but would gladly give all the power to the state - which is a corrupt monopoly, lol :)

Uh, but why didnt the commies take this bulb tech and offer it on the market and crush the capitalist pigs with it? :)

Dude, are you reading at all??

LOL, Why do you ever think, there were actual communist state on earth? This is an idea, mate.
Check the goddamn dictionary. And if you vision Russia, it was socialist state, check what USSR means. There was communist party, not state, you just so brain washed. Wake up.
And, well I have no idea why wasn't it implemented. Ask them. not me.
Also, please start reading. Is this really what you got from the post?

I get that you are making up a bunch of stuff. Share yor sources on this "super bulb", that for some reason no one put on the market, not even the enemies of western capitalism, even tho they could ideologically destabilize the west with just this bulb invention...

No actually I know about a bunch of governemnt types, that all vary from somehow corrupt (democracy) to massively corrupt (commie-socialist crap). But I'm sure you AI government (coded by marxist programmers) would be top notch :)

Watch this, you brain-washee.

Although Phoebus was disbanded in 1939, say the theorists, its influence is still felt in the West. By comparison, Soviet light bulbs and those produced in socialist countries (which didn't adhere to Western standards) have been noted to have a twice as long lifetime. Modern Chinese bulbs have a life expectancy of 5000 hours. Moreover, light bulbs produced in Britain during or immediately after World War II, when the patriotic feelings could take over commercial interests, are still found in use to this day. These "ancient" light bulbs are sought after by manufacturers, who remove them from circulation "for study". The oldest lamp in the world, "Centennial Light", has been in use for 108 years, as of 2010.

Modern LED light bulbs have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours and use 1/6th the energy of tungsten incandescent bulbs (which last 1-2k hours).

Whatever you are going to say, its very common if not always, commercial interest tend always to get over the rest and bring massive long-term damage to society and the planet in exchange of short-term profits. This is one of the aspects of capitalist system whose "civilized" results the world suffer. There are countless other ways of scientific and tech progress which can bring actually some surplus to society. But, alas, in this "free" western world, they are never happening. In all areas. Yet, I see only brain washed minds here. Furthermore, the capitalist system continues to rob to the bare bone the resources of all countries. Especially it is in its vicious rage against Russia, because in the 90-ties capitalists went very close to steal the vast Russia resources but ended empty handed thanks to nationally minded people. Now Russia is enemy number one. Why? Those resources. And finally guess what, when the collapse will soon strike, we all be dead. Except those 0.1% who will survive thanks to the underground cities built all over America. Then I will ask you where you have been? Why they are built? Maybe because is all very peachy.
You can see, they even prepare us for post-apocalyptic world through pathetic Hollywood movies, god they even charge you to watch that crap.
Marx wrote everything century ago. You have nothing to lose except your chains.

And about the backward Russians. So backwards they were, that America had to lie they were on the Moon. They never have been there. Read Stanley Kubrick post-mortem letter. He shot those images. And they still use Russian propulsion systems in 2015. If they were on the Moon, with what they went there?
