One take I enjoy is that communism is ubiquitous within capitalism. Imagine having to pay your coworker a fee every time you need a PR review, or pay your parents every time they made you dinner. Also let's not forget that even communist nations exercised capitalism through trade with other nations.

oh, I think that's another Talebism I find compelling:

And it's a useful framing as well. Perhaps Capitalism is the right organizing principle at certain levels, and perhaps we need a 'secret Nth thing' at the global level.

Yes, we need to be more mindful about all the different scales of coordination, especially as they're actively shifting (with network states maybe, AGI maybe). We as a species, we as a planet, we as a nation, we as a community, we as a family, we as a body, we as individual organs, we as a self or consciousness, etc.
