It has nothing to do about articulating the ideas of capitalism. Capitalism exists whether or not we articulate it , the same way that the Andromeda Galaxy existed before we saw it in our telescopes. My point is that human nature seems to be very much correlated to capitalism.
And the important question is whether this is a fundamental characteristic of life, or is it just a feature of this particular version of intelligent life that we have in planet Earth? Or maybe is just a consequence of the evolution of our social system?
To state it clearly: is it possible to conceive an intelligent society collaborating by other means than the ones that we are currently using? Could catastrophe be averted by working together in other ways? Are we humans at all capable of this?
Currently, the answer seems to be no, but who knows.
