    The unmitigated disaster part existed under feudalism also. Capitalism is slowly turning back into feudalism, which is kinda why it sucks so much now. I hate capitalism, but feudalism was worse.

    Fuedalism with a fuckload of democracy might work. But it always turns into a bloodline thing.

      Perhaps, but I have to wonder how many feudal peasants would willingly exchange their existence for the precariat one we exist under.

      If that is true, then it must mean that capitalism never replaced feudalism, but was instead built on top of feudalism - which is not that difficult to believe if you live in a 3rd-world extraction zone (like I do).
