    That doesn’t make any sense, though, greed has a larger impact on Capitalist systems as its the main mover and driver.

      Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.

      Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia’s understanding.

      Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.

        To the contrary, competition eliminates its own existence, eventually all markets will coalesce into large trusts that can be publicly owned and planned.

              The health of the current system is undenianly declining, absolutely. But competition is eternal and non-optional, so systems that seek to eliminate it are intrinsically doomed.

                  Just because competition can be suppressed temporarily within a discrete system doesn’t mean it has ceased to exist. Exactly why ideologies that demand the absence of competition will eventually be outcompeted from the outside.

                    It’s not about being temporary, production becomes so complicated and wide-reaching that it must become planned and publicly owned.
