I beg to differ. Reason, you see, compels humanity forward toward a more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more cooperative global society.

That is not a reasoned conclusion. From what I have seen, that is merely one of the axioms you start with in order to argue against capitalism. Flawed axioms lead to flawed conclusions regardless of how sound the reasoning is.

From your rants, you seem to believe that the world is currently in the very antithesis of 'a more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more cooperative global society'. If indeed reason 'compels humanity forward toward a more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more cooperative global society', why are we not yet at your anarcho-commie utopia? If there is some comparatively recent change in the nature of things, which has newly led reason to compel humanity thusly, then what is that change? Or, has there not yet been enough time in all of recorded history to bring about this inevitable state? And if not, why would you expect this blissful utopia in your own meager lifetime?

I think your axiom is flawed.
