      Which former civilization reached that stage? I cannot think of a single one. And almost all of the countries that are around now that used to be communist are either no longer communist or communist in name only.

          And what anthropological studies are you basic this conclusion on?

          If it’s a stage of civilizational development, you should be able to find evidence.

              So no studies and no evidence.

              Also, you seem to think that the only two options for a civilization are capitalism or communism, which just shows a complete ignorance of history, and possibly economics.

                  Definitionally according to whom? Who defined it? What were their qualifications? Based on what evidence?

                  I cannot think of a single great civilization from history that reached communism of as a stage of development before the 20th century. Please name one or two. If it is a stage of civilizational development, you should be able to demonstrate that.

          I remember learning this in school and it was around then that I realized it will never happen.
