But how would you define the point at which our material needs are met? It feels like it’s an intrinsic desire for humans to gain an advantage over other people. Or at least we want the illusion of being able to gain an advantage through either hard work or gaming the system. For me it seems like capitalism lies in our nature and it requires a complete change of our societal values to move to a different system. Not saying that I think capitalism is a good thing.
I understand that it can be difficult to imagine a system other than capitalism, but such systems existed prior to capitalism, and they will exist after capitalism has ceased to exist.
Do not be angry at the crabs in the barrel, do not chastise them. That anger comes from a mirror, seeing yourself in the same system, a system that you know is destroying humanity, your humanity. Let’s all instead unite and kick the barrel over.

When material needs are met, the human instinct of cooperation shines.
