Anarchist government, preferably communist in nature but mutualist works too.
When has that ever worked?
Plenty if you study history and anthropology. How do you think humans lived for millenia before the invention of currency? You do realize thousands of years separate that from advent of trade and long after we settled down to form permanent communities?
Nonsense. There is no returning to small-scale egalitarian societies. Large-scale societies are a trap; once you embrace them, you can never go back apart from in extreme isolation. Spend even 5 minutes thinking seriously about it and you will see why it's a pipe dream.

Tag yourself, I'm "The"
I guess “Capitalism” (image) is akin to my life.

In Europe it's the Autumn of Capitalism
Unfortunately, it might also be the spring of fascism there.
People who downvoted you clearly aren't paying attention to what's happening in Italy and Germany to a lesser extent
Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Estonia, Hungary and Turkey all have severe issues with fascism right now
all have severe issues with fascism right now
It's not an issue... fascism is a feature of classical liberal nation states - not a flaw.
an issue for the populace
Bullshit. Fascism is by definition antithetical to classical liberalism.
Really? Tell that to all the "liberal" regimes that enabled fascists when said liberals couldn't keep working-class revolt in check... Weimar Germany literally did that to crush the "Spartacist" revolt after WW1.
There's a saying amongst leftists - you can't have a harvest of fascism without liberals loosening the ground for it first. Fascism is not some "aberration" of the classical liberal nation state and it never was.
Finland, Sweden, Spain, France, etc. etc.
I’m not familiar with Spain right now but yeah forgot those ones
As a German, I agree
Lmao we're still as capitalist as ever. Americans have a skewed sense of what capitalism implies due to your super-duper-mega-unregulated-corporation-shareholder-moneymaker3000 type of ultra capitalism
