@MarkRNay @TobiWanKenobi @breadandcircuses humans have been around 200,000 to 2 million years, it's naive to think those humans weren't as sophisticated, curious, and perceptive as we modern folk are. Thousands of cultures have experimented with different ways of organizing their societies, and lifeways other than capitalism have been tried and found to be successful. Capitalism has been around for about 500 years more or less. Wanna guess how long some Indigenous folks in North America were organizing their economies, before colonization came?
Don't make the mistake of "might makes right", that just because one culture can violently supplant another culture, that this is "human nature" and "survival of the fittest". Species and cultures disappear, and we are in the middle of one heck of a big disappearance that we won't survive without drastic change.
And keep in mind, right now capitalism is only "working" for the rich. Billions of humans and trillions of animals, plants, life, etc, are not finding "success" under capitalism.
