"Thing could be worse" is not a valid argument against improving things.
"Improving things" is not a justification for ignorance. I have never seen things getting "improved" by someone ignorant of the building blocks or even worse motivated to destroy the building blocks on which we all stand.
Feudalism was once a part of building blocks upon which we all stood.
Yes so we need to understand it. You don't think our countless historians and social scientists are doing their work purely for fun or do you?
Sure. I never said we shouldn't understand it.
Understanding != continued existence.
But with that said, capitalism has proven itself to be unsustainable and in need of replacement. The longer we take to replace it the worse things are going to be.
