As soon as a country comes up with a better system for humans to live in, they will have to build walls to keep everyone out (70)

Private schools, or public schools? (1)

The best part I like about mass is I get paid $103 per hour to take money from the state taxpayers. We all laugh it up (-5)

It's easier to imagine the end of the world, than it is to imagine the end of capitalism (18)

It is because capitalism is in our nature and always has been. (-5)

No but 1 unlucky turn from the mammoth will end your life pretty quickly due to lack of medical knowledge, medicines and/or your village not willing to feed you for 20 years. (1)

I mean that really depends. If you get a nasty infection you're fricked but don't underestimate the human ability to recover or even just persist through grievous injury. We have prehistoric evidence of people living with holes in their skulls or arms or other body parts missing. Also humans aren't really stabby hunters they're persistence hunters. Its not the javelins you threw at the mammoth thats going to kill it but exhaustion and blood loss. Getting close to the mammoth means something is probably going wrong. (1)

Name 3 capitalist societies that had these issues and then name 3 socialist/communist ones that had it.Which one was easier to answer? Again, sure. Capitalism is far from perfect but the alternatives are considerably worse. The best is a capitalistic economy with some socialistic programs in place to readily help those who need it, healthcare and as safety net. (-3)

USA, the UK, and Germany.There have been no completely socialist nor communistic countries on these levels. Communism is a stateless classless society, and as the USSR had a state, they were not communist. They were aiming for it, the main problem is that their choice of how to try and get there was nested in the belief that you need a vanguard party, and that vanguard party becomes the ruling class, which becomes authoritarian.The DPRK is not communist, because again, Communism is a stateless classless society, and therefore there couldn't be an authoritarian dictator overseeing it.During the 'wild west', the USA committed a genocide against Native Americans, often times ignoring signed treaties while doing so. They slaughtered buffalo because they knew that tribes relied on them, and viewed them as sacred, leading to starvation, and death.The US also had the whole Slavery thing, as well as political imprisonments(Remember the Japanese concentration camps during WWII?) and has a hi...

I'm going to give you a bit of a different and a little bit of political answer here, but bear with me cause I think it would indirectly answer your question. At least that's my opinion on the matter, you're not bound to agree with me.Working itself is not the problem. Imagine coming into life and serving zero purpose to your fellow humans. Who would create the food surpluses needed so we're not all farming for our food? Who would collect the trash so we don't live in wastelands? Who will treat the sick? You get the idea. The problem is that in a truly free market, with SENSIBLE regulations (not rules for every single thing), people that earn an honest living could in theory be able to provide for themselves and their families working one job with normal hours. We all know people who bought their homes and sustained their families on one income. The government should interfere in the economy ONLY to bust monopolies and cartels and insider trading etc. Anything that would mean market... (1)

The real misunderstanding is the causality. We don't work as much as we do because it's necessary to survive. We actually live in an era where you can do less work than ever and survive, at least in places like America.

We work as much as we do because, every time we become more productive, we -- mostly individually but consistently -- choose wealth over less work.

Weekly work hours have steadily trended downward, too, but we mostly work more because we like how it improves our lives.
