@@hodgepodge2749 It's a reference to the theory that the tools of capitalism will be what is used to build socialism. If socialism is to take root in the world capital has created, what else would but the tools of capitalism would be used to bring it about? If socialist values are to win an ideological battle against the current hegemonic individualistic neoliberalism, what would be stronger than an appeal to making good on the heretofore unfulfilled promises of liberal democracy? Or so goes the theory.

@Emeril Lugosi I appreciate your point, and I'm sure we have much to learn from the hunter-gatherers. But most modern conceptions of socialism include mass industrialization, which makes any potential socialist future quite different from however any pre-industrial societies lived. I argue that these imaginings of an alternative mode of production (modern socialist theory) are independent from whatever modes of production or social organization prevailed in hunter-gatherer societies, even if there is overlap. And I argue that the idea of transitioning beyond capitalism is only imaginable within capitalism. This is a framework which accounts for the world capital has created, implementing and co-opting some of its infrastructure. There is a difference between "beyond capitalism" and "outside capitalism". I would put modern socialist theory in the former group, and pre-modern hunter-gatherer societies in the latter.
