I’m not anti-capitalist; it has done a lot of good for the world. But unbridled capitalism, untethered to ethical considerations, has done great damage too. It helped create the problem and it is not the answer now. This isn’t about profit for anyone; it’s only about saving lives

The most evolved society has elements of both, I think.

You're right. Actually you're usually right! I hope you and @AndrewYang can work together again in the future.

This is like saying capitalism is good, but it would be better if it maintained elements of feudalism and monarchy. We cannot progress if we allow capitalism to continue.

Agreed. Also there should be more than 2 choices. Maybe the ideal system hasn't been invented yet.

Let's look at Sweden (1/41) vs USA (39/41) in OECD ranking. We're just above Greece and Turkey and below mexico sgi-network.org/2019/Sweden

Evolved society? Where? Resource based economy is the only way to truly evolve. But you know that 😉

The social democracies you uphold depend on imperialism. The "evolved" and "developed" countries, in reality, are simply enjoying what what has been stolen from the "undeveloped" countries.

Wrong, current society has elements of both already. The only way forward is with an post-capitalist vision. You've read The New Human Rights Movement so you know what I'm talking about. Stop pandering to capitalists
Replying to @marwilliamson
I totally agree. Both should be balanced in a functional society.
