Except it's done more to solve it since anything that preceded it, so it's not only not funny, it's a misleading/disingenuous talking point.

Maybe, but the guys in OP aren't talking about going back to feudalism or bringing back the roman empire or anything else that preceded capitalism. It's misleading to restrict yourself to systems that came before capitalism, and not the one that lifted a billion dirt poor farmers out of poverty and created a space-faring civilization within a single lifetime.
