Capitalism is not a system. It's what automatically happens when we can't come up with a system. A bit like shower mold.

    I mean not really. Capitalism is when merchants and the like (a class that has existed in almost all societies for most of history) controls the means of production. In general people don't come up with systems; systems emerge from the material conditions societies live under. It's not like someone sat down with a pen and paper and worked out feudalism for example; it's (oversimplification incoming) just what you get when the most productive assets of society are agricultural land. Conclusion: All systems are like shower mold.
