I don’t think that simply taking away capitalism will somehow absolve all these problems. You go from a world that is rife with these kinds of scenarios, attitudes and beliefs, to simply proposing that you can wipe over a clean slate and that none of it will exist anymore without at least severely limiting human freedoms.
You cannot deny that at some point, what encourage the first person to make a stand and create the conditions that are not even capitalist, but precede capitalism, still do not exist today. That the conditions where capitalism had arisen, can just simply happen all over again.
Besides your saying all conflict originates from capitalism, I have never heard that before. There were other forms of society and governance that have existed before crapitalism, correct?
When Cain killed Abel, it wasn’t due to the effects of capitalism. When the walls of Jericho were built and fortified, was it because of capitalism?
So you basically are saying all negative actions and events that have happened through human history has been the natural proclivity towards capitalism? What you are describing is almost a religion and not simply economic system.
Anyway, I am not really discussing capitalism versus communism altogether but merely borders and nationalism versus a borderless world which would be communism I guess. What I’m trying to say is you can have what I have described in just about any society, and is not entirely about the pros or cons of communism or capitalism.
I am also trying to argue that you would have to limit freedom to stop conflict from happening at all.
You really think religion is a product of capitalism? Sure, there are elements of it in modern religions, but can you really say that throughout religions history it was merely due to the existence of capitalism?
