npub14x8rlanp87sqrvl4xqp7qfe3gdxndqsazc8rjrjmm5hpmalyj5aqwjty6e (npub14x8…ty6e) not disagreeing, but will throw in an example of another civilisation that destroyed itself without capitalism:
the Mayas.
they expanded and grew until they exhausted all their natural resources, and then their civilisation collapsed.
this is much much older than capitalism specifically. capitalism is merely an outgrowth of this growth-and-conquest mindset.
it has happened across multiple cultures on multiple content across multiple historical eras.
it's usually large-scale agriculture and the idea of property that gets that snowball rolling.
barking up the wrong tree.
