Capitalism is the only one that is based on people being people ... which is very sad.


Where it goes wrong is when certain individuals or groups are permitted to gain too much power at the expense of others, essentially voiding the ability of the majority to take charge of their own lives. This is where the imbalances come into play, and Capitalism becomes a tool of the few in the service of greed.

The reality of anarchy, in light of the realities of human nature, is not pleasant to consider, unfortunately. Without any consensus, any common laws, any security, it'd be the law of the jungle, wouldn't it? It would work only if everyone were beneficient, decent, honest. And they aren't, or at least enough people aren't, so that the results would be catastrophic to society. If everyone could simply do whatever they pleased, the tyranny of the strong over the weak would get worse, not better.
