No. 317
The next generation (and those following) will have no choice BUT to view socialism as a partial answer, or implode. There are reasons that would take too long to explain here, but in a nutshell, technology has made it possible for a wealth gap unimaginable at any time prior in human history, and ironically, the ones at the top are the ones contributing the least. In short, humans can leverage technology to do a great deal more than ever before, and without the need for humans. So, those controlling it win, and those on the bottom lose in every way imaginable. Capitalism only works when a)the system's integrity is kept intact and individuals are kept from gaming it, and b)productivity is directly linked to individual human contribution/accomplishment, thereby ensuring that someone's income is proportional to their individual output. Neither of those holds true anymore. So, a revolution (probably violent, given humanity's unimaginable propensity for selfishness and greed) is inevitable.
