That's utter nonsense. Communes predate capitalism by thousands of years. The first known settled town was a commune. There are no detectable hierarchies.

Currency wouldn't even exist for a good 5000 years after Çatalhöyük.
As far as "ultimately" failing, it lasted at least 900 years, which much is longer than most countries around today have been in existence.
Nice try though.
So... towns existed thousands of years ago... not sure what that proves about anything.
This is what you said:
Çatalhöyük was a commune. There were no hierarchies, no division of labor between class or gender. It lasted 900 years. It predated capitalism by millennia.
I'm not sure why you don't understand why that proves you wrong.
