It happens under every economic system. It certainly happened under Marxist Communism just as under western Capitalism . . . and also on desert islands among shipwrecked survivors.
I have watched that movie, and sadly you are right. Also yes to Marxist Communism..That concept sure looked good on paper! Even if we could sustain 30 billion people, we are still tribal anyways..Even a small remote jungle village is dog eat dog on a smaller level..Our strength as sapiens is cooperation, but It's too bad that we couldn't cooperate on such a large scale..I was just thinking of the amazing talent pool of creativity a world of 30 billion under 1 common system would be.
