I mean, it's the only one that has survived till now.
Survival by mass murder, very good things
I mean, all the others did that too. This is more of a human thing than a capitalism thing.
Blaming structural problems created by a ruling class on "human nature" is how the church stayed in control of the European dark ages for 1000 years. So you got that going for you. I prefer modern sciences to diagnose modern problems but hey whatever you have to tell yourself.
The developments brought forth by capitalism sets the stage for a world that can actively dismantle the ruling class through international worker solidarity, solving the problems that "all the others did", and end 10000 years of class rule. It is possible right now, to start that process. Meanwhile people are hand wringing about "human nature" just like the ruling class wants us to. There is a human nature, but it is not human nature to live in a class society. The people who toil under capitalism are not the ones who are starting the wars, hoarding the food and resources, destroying the environment, and a host of other atrocities. It is in the "nature" of the ruling class, but because it is in their best interests to do so. We live in a society where our nature is used against us to do great evil, where we ard blamed for the evil done by others. The goal is to create a society where the better parts of our nature prevail.
Capitalism is the new religion, and its happy to be that till the wheels fall off and the whole world is on fire. Going along with mass murder isn't really my thing, but you do you, its a free country and its certainly the default and most popular position, so I can't really blame ya. I just think its gonna take a bit more than going with the flow.
I bet there is some fight in you, maybe you just haven't found it yet. Good luck on your search
