What we are building is the perfect society for the rule of individualism. Capitalism is the god, greed is the motivation, and not being liable is how we be careful.

There's no way out. Even TNG predicted WWIII entire global population and for humanity to suffer its most embarrassing chapter to get out of it:

There are other modes of life, based on trust of mankind, instead of fear of it. That's the other thing TNG shows - all those people in Starfleet - they aren't being paid to be on that ship. They're trying to show that humanity is capable of post-capitalism. It doesn't have to be this way.

(That's the planet Stallman lives - or at least wants to)
