    Capitalistic Socialism seems the most successful offshoot of Capitalism. Pure Capitalism is killing its social networks, and the fabric of that system’s societies is falling apart.

      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.

        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
