That’s not capitalism though. People worked with the community to get their needs, not pure competitiveness like capitalism is. You don’t have to have perfect equality to be a non-capitalist society.

As for selfishness, there is a difference between working for the best for an individual and working for the best of the community. I was talking non-selfish by saying we can work for the best of the community and not the individual as we normally do now. Sorry if I explained that badly.

Ummm... ok mention one more successful or one that has been tried and worked better or failed that would work here? I have studied politics for quite a while and have not seen anything that would be better but I would love to hear your views.
Capitalism has been the best system so far for capital gain but it is showing some major flaws and now we need to look forward and find a system that can replace capitalism to accomplish what the people want. It might not produce as much capital gain but it can work on many different aspects of society.

Everyone is not going for the same thing as well, take Venezuela for example. The class inequality was enormous and now they are trying to close the gap while still proceeding forward. These arguments are all perspective because I am sure we have different ideas of what a better system is. If we are looking at different endings, we will never find something we both like.
