<p>> We cannot possibly expect all parents to take proper care of their kids. This has never been the case and never will. That's why we have schools and other institutions that oversee our growth within society.<p>From both someone involved in raising kids as well as someone who knows a lot of teachers: none of the involved parties want that. Schools are <i>at best</i> for teaching, but never for raising.</p>

<p>You're missing my point. Shortage and conflict is the <i>default</i>. It's not a fault unique to capitalism, and to say that it's its fault is missing the mark.<p>I'm not saying it's an <i>ought</i> situation or even an <i>is</i> situation; it's that I disagree with his diagnosis of what causes it.</p>

<p>> Capitalism has defined ‘health’ itself as a capacity to submit oneself to labor<p>People keep mindlessly saying this but I have never seen evidence for it. Before money was ever invented the idea was already there that if you're healthy you can sustain yourself. All 'capitalism' did was saying "and most people nowadays perform abstract services in trade for an abstraction of a promise of a pinky swear saying "if you trade this pinky swear to me you'll get some food".<p>It's not 'economic systems that are fundamentally hostile to bodies that cannot produce consistently', it's a fundamental reality of life. Either you are capable of getting enough food for you and your family, either directly by farming, gathering or hunting, or you are not.</p>

<p>> Well, for a time greek city states did fight pretty much like this. Small armies of hoplites were raised outside harvest season, went out, fought almost show-battles with very few casualties, and tribute changed hands based on the results. Everyone went home for the harvest.<p>This is a view held by a small group, but is in no way the accepted view of it for historians. See the link for a blogpost of a military historian talking about the orthodox and heterodox schools of thought on this.<p><a href="https://acoup.blog/2025/11/14/collections-hoplite-wars-part-i-the-othismos-over-othismos/" rel="nofollow">https://acoup.blog/2025/11/14/collections-hoplite-wars-part-...</a></p>
