For example, I recently read an article that argued anarchic societies generate a lot more wealth and happiness than you'd expect - more than statist societies when you control for various factors - but they're very vulnerable to external predation

I feel like that's the argument socialists often make, actually, about why socialist societies don't last. But that is an example of how something can be great but be inherently unstable

Again idk if that applies to socialism in fact but if you can ask me 'why not more welfare states?' I think the answer to 'why not more socialism?' can't plea to something like oh America sucks. If there's one global system, that's all endogenous. If we're not part of one global system it becomes harder to blame capitalism for everything
