I think you are going to have to peel away a few more layers to get to any understanding, let alone solutions.

What if reality is fundamentally binary? A polarity of opposites, in which the feedback loops, tension and friction between them are the essential dynamic of reality?

Yet we seem to have this culture of monist idealism, where some narrative must eventually lead to the promised land, if we could only decide which.

The overall effect being that both sides of this cycle see themselves as on the road to nirvana, so those going the other way are misbegotten fools.

Yet all of Western civilization is based on this linear assumption, where if some is good, more is always better.

We mistake the ideal for the absolute. Necessarily though, an absolute would be that from which we rise, not some ultimately cultural ideal from which we fell.

As in a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

Even the absolute is only one end of the spectrum, yet the other end isn’t idealism, but infinity.

Capitalism and communism are branding labels, applied to much deeper forces, states and dynamics. Think nodes and networks, as one example.

I’m not knocking your efforts, as you are trying more than most, but it’s still a long way to go.
