If you had the power to end society as it currently is, would you use it?

The question is pretty much self explanatory, would you use the power to end society as it currently is?<br><br>In my view, there is a lot wrong with society, most notably classism and the lack of genuine relationships between people.<br><br>Classism, or at least the economic system that is currently in place, is a really big problem. When I say classism I really mean the class-based economic system, not necessarily classes like worker, middle, upper class, etc. It's the system in place that forces all of us to work for most of our lives just to survive, and the infinitesimal percentage of people who do get to enjoy their lives, do so at the expense of millions of people. To me, the root of most of the world's problems stems from the fact that all of us are required to work and sell our labour in order to survive, and a infinitesimally small percentage of people don't have to do this.<br><br>The next biggest problem I see is the lack of genuine relationships people have. I'm not talking about family relationships, I'm talking about friendships. When you look at how animals interact with each other, most of them are able to easily form friendships with each other and form close bonds without so much as a single word. Humans are the exact opposite. People don't even talk to each other anymore unless they know each other, and even then most people don't form deep connections. Most of us are alone in the world because of the societies we live in, not because that's how people are naturally wired. I believe that if the economic system were changed, people would have more time, energy and ability to form relationships. I believe that if the economic system were changed, society as a whole would be a better place.<br><br>If I had the ability to end society as it currently is, I would do it without hesitation.
