    It was just the statement that "human society has always been able to solve it's problems" followed by a condemnation of capitalism. So I assumed there was some prior system that worked better for solving problems.

    I guess they say Mussolini made the trains run on time. And Egypt's slave economy was stable for thousands of years.

    It's like I said, I can't see a prior example that is not meaner and uglier than capitalism, or at least as mean and ugly.

    Capitalistic Socialism may indeed be a better path for the future. But I didn't think it could be the original poster's intent.

        There's no such thing as sealions, the people you call sealions just disagree with you. Some of them are wrong, some of them are right.

      apparently "egypts slave economy" is largely debunked. they had slaves like every other stone age culture, but their economy (and pyramid building) relied largely on paid labor

          For the records, saying that capitalism is temporary does not imply OP desires reverting to a previously existing economic system either, so the egypt thing was a non-sequitor anyways
