    Far less often than we end up with communalist hunter gatherers and early agrarian communes and evidently for a much shorter time. Does that mean feudalism can never work? Capitalism is never at any point of productive development possible?

    If you’ve never studied an economics text (a real, materialist one, not fucking graphs with conveniently simple and clean cut rules that never seem to apply and zero statistics) then try not to speak so authoritatively on economics.

      Your words make no sense to me. If you want to convey ideas use the common tongue. It feels like you have some neat ideas though.

      Edit: Can anyone please decipher what this guy said?

        people share goods and culture naturally. the prevailing historical models are cooperative. anticooperative, competitive societies are rare.

            You’re obviously looking for an angle where you can point to your “common sense” leading to the conclusion you started with.

            If you wanna talk psychology, the ultracompetitive demands of modern capitalism have to be drilled into each of us from birth, and most of us resist it all the same. Mark Fisher elaborates on this in Capitalist Realism, this learned behavior is in large part responsible for the mental health crisis in the world.
