(82,333 posts)For another thing, you have not defined society. Is it an extended family, a clan, a state, a nation, a hemisphere? Once you have defined a particular society, take a look at it and see if it indeed is bound together by greed or by cooperation.
For a final thing, capitalism scorns these quaint notions of society. It stops at no border, it has no loyalty (even though the supreme capitalist judicial organ has bestowed upon it personhood), it has no obligation, indeed it has no consciousness. It simply flows to the areas of greatest profit. It seeks the place of greatest exploitation of natural and human resources to feed its appetite, leaving in its wake those who marvel at its progress arguing with those, stunned, who have experienced its passage.
