You should examine both sides of history before drawing any conclusions.
This book The Jungle from 1906 by Upton Sinclair tells a very different story of crapitalism.
As does this one from 1915 by the same author Cry for Justice.
They both illustrate what life is like when you are a havenot in a world ruled by haves.
Perhaps you should explore alternatives to crapitalism before declaring it the savior of the poor when historical records show to clearly be anything but for the vast majority of the human race.

You realize, of course, that the world had a population of less than 2 billion when Sinclair wrote those and now is in excess of 7 billion? To me, those books are outdated badly.
I do not for a moment believe that anarchism scales to 8 billion. It might work in certain small groups, but has never withstood the tests of either scale or time. Not ever once.
You mean it hasnt withstood crapitalust repression, not once, ever.
Everytime folks get established they get crushed by armies.
Outdated, or just an inconvienient message?
Nothing has changed, you can find folks with those same problems, today.
You can embrace your slavery if you like, but im gonna try to free myself from mine.
I would submit to you that if a community can not provide for it's common defense then it is not a viable community at all.
Stanarchy has never, ever worked outside laboratory grade situations.
I actually prefer to work inside a system that functions to dreaming about one that doesn't.
So, rule by bully is acceptable to you?

It is easier to embrace your slavery, especially if denial of it works for you.
