• There's an argument that a lot of people were relatively happy living a self sustained life from the land, obviously it sucked a bit for healthcare, public transport, roads, welfare, pensions etc. but they weren't exactly products of rampant capitalism That enclosed free land and moved everyone into towns and cities so that they could be exploited for their labour from a young age and live in actual squalor before some of them were raised out of it with socialist policies, such as healthcare, transport, roads, welfare, pensions, unfortunately that massive drive to produce and consume and grow has exploited other parts of the world and left them in squalor and exploited the actual world which will run out of resources at some point leaving nowhere for capitalism to turn. Capitalism may be better than feudalism, especially for supporting much larger populations but it hardly works well, it's just what there is now and what we're likely stuck with for a while to come.
