      It doesn’t work on a large scale because people with Cluster B personality disorders will always corrupt any system we come up with.

      And historically those systems are typically structured in a way that allows authoritarianism and dictators to take over more quickly. The government has to control everything, which creates a much smaller point of failure.

      Capitalism is a shit system, but it took ~200 years to corrupt to this point because the power is more distributed (at first).
