    Yeah maybe. But I’m not really talking about nomadic ancestral living though. Plenty of villages in the country today are functionally communist, I’ve lived in one.

    What I mean is it seems hard to have a system that has all the stuff we have today, without capitalism appearing at some point. Electricity, computers, trains, huge populations, cities, etc.

    I’m trying to say that it’s easy to implement, it seems obvious, and it benifits those in power. But it’s inefficient and horrible long term and leads to problems. I think all the current laws and policy protecting capitalism were put in place to prop up a dying system. So rather than it being deliberate, I believe it’s just a series of reactionary patch jobs that “fix” problems as they come up rather than anyone actually sitting down and designing a good system.
