No clue, likely not something we’ve ever seen, but my point is, capitalism hasn’t been chosen by the majority, but has been shaped by the minority into a tool to be abused against the majority. The fact that humans made it, doesn’t say something about all of humanity, just the people who have shaped, and I guess in turn has been shaped by, capitalism.
Because if we assume everyone forgets everything about economical systems, what are the chances whatever they come up with looks anything like what we’ve seen so far? I’m not convinced that capitalism, socialism, some fucking bartering system, would be what people come up with, it might just as well be something we have never thought of, because those people wouldn’t be moulded to think about economic systems the way we are.

If you’ve never read the work of David Graeber, I think you’d really enjoy his writing
I agree capitalism sucks but I think your arguments are a little off.
I mean you say capitalism probably would not be most people’s first choice but then can’t name what would be or even another system really.

Yeah you’re right.
