It's off topic.
Is there an actual point to this? It's so badly written it's difficult to tell.

It's biggest flaw is the idea that living in a shack, dying by age 30 after burying most of ones children first from disease and injury first is some kind of thing to be nostalgic for. "Hard life" indeed. You have no idea what that actually means if you promote it like that.

Another thing the story lacks is how those original 60 even if left alone would still happily butcher each other for all same reasons you try to pin on capitalism if the mood were to strike them. Greed is not ideology specific and evil is universal.

Finally it lacks barbarians. For obvious reasons that alone makes it useless as point making material.
