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.

I'm glad that there is goodness in the world as well!

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!

Let the greedy fend off for themselves in the desert and see how far it gets them.

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.

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.
