'runner as usual ignores the extensive evidence for evolution '

yes Foyle and you swallow the fairytale backed up by your imagination.

I always thought that capitalism would be the stepping stone to a more socialist society in the future,Silly me
With capitalism almost killing itself atm what will come next ?

'Also importantly, success was directly proportional to effort.'

Yes, of course. All the employees of all the world's sweatshops (both First and Third World) would agree.

What the author really means is that success is directly proportional to the effort of OTHERS. Or ... that the success of a small few is directly proportional to the effort of the vast majority.

And while I'm here, could somebody please translate this truly weird statement for me:

'If a woman was not careful about the man she married, then he might not come back from the hunt-and everyone died.'

So ... OK. Does he mean that, if she chooses a man who is totally hopeless at hunting, he'll be gored by a wild boar or fall out of a tree or slip on a banana peel or accidentally shoot the other hunters while out on the hunt. And then, not only will the tribe not get anything to eat, all the hunters will be dead.

And it's all that stupid woman's fault, not the stupid man who got everyone killed!

Killarney,
No translation is necessary it's pretty much as you described, it's a weird statement but the whole article is poorly thought out.
Male organisation doesn't work the way the author or outside observers seem to think, I can't explain it properly in print but watch this clip, especially from about 3:25:

There's always a Lieutentant Richard Winters and a Sergeant Frank Percante in every war band or construction crew or ship's company, they even out the effect someone like Private Blythe have on the group and everyone usually makes it home in one piece.

Socialism is an archaic and regressive behaviour.
So is bigotry.

Cooperative, human scale community (including but not limited to, family relations) is the political, social, and cultural root-source of civilization. Cooperative, human-scale community is also the primary political, social, and cultural condition that civilization tends to destroy. Therefore, the struggle to re-establish cooperative, human-scale community - and, in turn, to re-establish (within the larger political, social, and cultural order)the virtues characteristically associated with cooperative, human-scale community - is the constant necessity and the principal political , social, and cultural revolution whereby civilization can be purified of its negative effects, and whereby the integrity of civilization (and of truly civilized people) can be restored.

As civilizations enlarge and universalize themselves, the circumstance of civilized life is progressively removed from the truly human (and humanizing) context of cooperative, human-scale community. Therefore, as civilization expands, the context of human living becomes progressively dissociated from the practices and virtues inherently associated with true (cooperative and human-scale) community, and becomes (instead) progressively individuated, alienated, altogether dehumanized, and (therefore) focused in egoic (and, in general, grossly and negatively, or lovelessly, competitive) efforts toward self-survival and self-aggrandizement.
