Agree. Thinking about it, the romantic in me wants to believe that the best system was probably the small indigenous tribal units. Collective social goals, group welfare, close-knit often matriarch families, conservation mindset...
A bit hard to pull off in the 21st century world though. :/
Sounds like primitive communism, its dreamy but wouldn't take much for a few tribes to consolidate power leading to a form of feudalism and class issue between different tribes.
This is something democratic socialism tries to address
I was going to include the social democracies of northern/central Europe as another better path, but it was really late and I was tired,and now I lost my train of thought. The Nordic countries, the Netherlands... while no system is perfect and every country has its challenges, these seem to exceed most on the measures that should matter.
