I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?
No, that’s not my point. My point is that at the level of technological development of tribal societies, they correctly picked the most efficient organizational structures for their conditions. They were not uniquely gifted nor uniquely dumb, but real humans with human organization. Societies like the Aztecs began a form of production similar to Feudalism when that became more efficient, and it is likely that when they discovered technologies like steam engines they would have transitioned towards a form of society similar to Capitalism.
Humans organize in manners most efficient for their conditions, it isn’t about who discovers the best form of society but which form of society best suits the conditions of the land and level of productive forces.
That’s ridiculous. Communism is way more efficient for our current level of development than capitalism, yet we’re doing capitalism. I don’t want to hear you argue capitalism is most efficient in the 21st century, it’s not. We’ve got homelessness, poverty, climate change, genocide, planned obsolescence… Capitalism stinks. Quit defending it.
