Has anyone ever grasped just how absurd the Cold War was? An economic system is just about how the society is organized, such as capitalism, socialism or, communism. The obvious way to determine where a society will operate on this political-economic spectrum is to just let it develop over time, since culture is a factor, or let voters decide.
When you stop to think about it, nations preparing to launch nuclear missiles at each other because they have different economic systems is just absurd beyond belief.
I have an idea for a world war.
Does your city have a system like garbage gets collected every week and recycling gets collected every other week? You might be sent a map with a red zone and a blue zone. If you are in the red zone your recycling is collected one week. If you are in the blue zone your recycling is collected the next week.
Why don't we have a world war between people who get their recycling collected on different weeks? That wouldn't be any more absurd than a world war over economic systems.
