I think personally That commerce as we know it has played it's role in the success of humanity But now more and more of the bad is showing and way way less of the gain

I personally think it's time to move on or at the very least adapt the systems we have in place

Edit: this was more focused on capitalism not commerce

Imagining a society with out trade is a very hard one for me to grasp

Well it doesn't have to be private exchange between entities. There doesn't have to be like for like. There can just be stockpiling and withdrawing, for lack of a more nuanced conception.
