The parts I talked about are more the groundwork of analyzing the here and now, rather than actually talking about it, yes. I was addressing the points about how individualism and self-serving ‘nature’, to point out they were only capable of manifesting through feudalism, capitalism, etc., and aren’t some inherent immutable human nature. We know that egalitarian societies have been workable worldwide, it’s not some utopian idealist dream.

As for no-one coming up with workable alternatives, yes and no:

Now, whether that second example is a society that people want, that’s obviously a hotly debated topic, but I’d say objectively their system is working (in terms of stability and economic strength) and a modern alternative to our current system (their system is capable of rewarding societal values above self-service)
