Late Stage Capitalism is the realization that mankind produces enough material wealth to satisfy the bottom two tiers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for every single person in the world and the frustration that we haven't bothered to try.



And the ignorance about the fact that distribution and management of said material wealth has always been and will always be a difficult problem to solve. Yes, we produce enough food in the world such that no one should go hungry. No, we don't have the infrastructure (actual, political, economic) to distribute it.

Organizing people is hard. Dealing with corruption is hard. Nothing suggested by Late Stage Capitalist meme spreaders even comes close to solving those problems.
