What's your best, longest-lived example of a society without capitalism? Do you have any?
By capitalism, I mean
"private individuals or companies that own and control businesses and property", the simplest definition of capitalism
Capitalism was literally invented in the last few hundred years.
any socialist society will be inherently disadvantaged by the fact that the global hegemon, the USA, is hellbent on destroying them. so, given that, maybe the soviet union? china? they certainly aren't perfect, soviet union especially, but any future socialist project can (and should) learn from their successes and mistakes
You have mercantilism and other forms of private business without capitalism. A yeoman making something and selling it isn't capitalism.
Your definition is intentionally bad because you do in fact have to separate capitalism from just the very generic concept of private enterprise.
Tell me you've never studied history pre-1800 without telling me you've never studied history pre-1800.
Tell me you don't have a clue without telling me you don't have a clue
If you want actual examples, almost all societies before 1800 we're not capitalist. Feudal society wasn't capitalist, neither was Roman society. Hunter gather society by most accounts was a form of primitive communism, and that is the vast majority of human history.
