    Capitalism seems to turn into cronyism. Maybe the issue is that none of the above can lead to a permanent or long term solution that is without abuse or unnecessary hardship. David Graeber fought the idea that authority and governments have to exists by giving examples of ancient civilizations that had no ruler. What if all the modern forms of government since then are just a huge transitionary period for humanity that exist until we reach a more civilized state in our evolution that doesn’t include paralysing greed and constant war?
