OP doesn't say that an older system was better - especially not some super-specific one. Just that it's NOT the only possible system and likely not the best there can be.
So I'm not sure who exactly you're arguing with.
I'm arguing that if you lived in any of the previous systems, you would have dreamt to live in today's Capitalism because it is the first system that produced a world where a large portion of humanity lived a safe and happy life.
It doesn't mean that Capitalism is perfect. It's just the best system so far.
Waiting for OP to tell us what should come next.
Our current system is also going to consume itself and the entire planet in a couple generations. So sure, QOL for the select few who live in the Imperial core have increased massively. But it's completely unsustainable.
Probably a large portion of the world would agree on that. A change, especially for the environment, is inevitable.
