Its hard to decry the evils of capitalism when there’s never been any other successful systems. Id like to hear your thoughts.
This’ll be a doozy.

neolithic agrarian villages, indus valley civilization, indigenous north american societies and modern cooperative/commons experiments exist(ed) in prosperity without any formal currency or economic system. You’re thinking that the absence of capitalism is ruin and suffering, and you’re wrong. please open a book. let me know when you’re educated and we can continue the conversation. love and blessings ~
They were prosperous for the era, but still featured the supermajority of the population working just to produce or gather food. I don’t think the absence of capitalism is ruin, but I do think a lack of formal economy is unstable in a globalized world. Corporate capitalism isn’t stable either, nor is it desirable, but even an anarchist solarpunk utopia needs an robust economy, albeit one free of corporate entities and their profit-motives.
The supermajority of our people work until they are elderly just to put food on the table. Your argument is invalid.
Food and clothes and modern housing and electronic communication devices and art and healthcare and postsecondary education.
Yours is the false equivalence, here.
Economies support technological and social development but are not solely responsible for their introduction. Any of the examples you gave could have been produced without modern economic systems. Your accusation is a confession. Love and blessings.
