What's the alternative?[0] Remember that burning desire to spend time with random elderly people when you were 14? Yeah, neither do I. [0]I actually know of one, since I'm Russian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timur_and_His_Squad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timur_and_His_Squad The problem I see with that is it's artificial. Again, remember that burning desire to spend time with random elderly people when you were 14? People did it to essentially earn social points and feel good about themselves, when you're a child - to get adults to praise you in exchange for some liberties, like breaking a curfew a bit. My point is, I don't think Capitalism is the problem here. I don't have that much trouble believing boy scouts could have been the American "Timur and his squad" in 1940.
