For one, hunter-gatherer tribes before the rise of civilisation were most certainly built on kindness and cooperation

The Agrarian Revolution really was where humanity started going downhill.

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago

This is true, but agriculture is a trap in the sense that once we adopted it, there was no turning back.

It's not just about systems, It's about conditions. Certain conditions make certain strategies more profitable - see game theory. I think low population density and hard life conditions cam lead to kindness being among the winning strategies.

Some veil of ignorance everyone is part of the ruling class for a week type stuff? Or maybe just anarcho syndicalism.

It might be a bit hidden away, but I encourage y'all to look closer and feel its might! ❤
And go ahead and create some more yourself!

They've always been handed everything, so they lack any useful survival skills, and they would definitely perish in the desert.

So I say it's a great idea.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (25 children)

That's not capitalism, lol. Modern life has left the majority of people without any real survival skills.

Meanwhile, the problem with communism is that it relies on everyone having aligned incentives on a nation-state level, which is a pleasant fiction and can only be achieved through authoritarian coercion.

What does this have to do with the intimidator?

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

There is a reason they call him the Intimidator of the Burgouis.
