Who are you, Schopenhauer?
If each new mode of production is measurably better than the last (otherwise, why even bother making the negative comparison from capitalism to Rome as you did?), why are you acting like it's meaningless for humanity to surpass capitalism? Do you really think it's all the same or is it different?
Your nihilistic disregard for the improvements that could be offered by surpassing capitalism, and your detached attitude, seem to suggest that you don't think very highly of the OOP for criticizing capitalism.
What specifically is wrong with how the idea was expressed?
