Socialism or Capitalism

@TopCat Existed. I don't know about worked.

@Allelse why didn't it work?

@TopCat Hmmmmmmmm. I guess we'd have to agree on 'worked'. From the level of got the job done then yes it worked fine. But if we're talking from we talk about as a humanitarian point of view, well, it's not too good at all. I mean bloody hell, someone like my father gets in charge of the tribe and everyone will get it.

@TopCat Until people outside of the tribe started showing up. There are very few homogeneous countries now.

@bijouxbroussard it still worked. That's no different from countries going to war, arguably it was much less destructive

@TopCat By that reckoning, society as it existed after humankind discovered fire [b]worked[/b]. But things [b]changed[/b].

@bijouxbroussard yes they definitely changed but that doesn't mean it didn't work before the change or that it didn't work after

@TopCat Yes, it stopped working once society became heterogeneous. Attempts at tribalism is what racism is about, the idea the one tribe is supreme or exclusive over the others.
