Yeah, this is a completely false choice. The choices are not "let unregulated capitalism externalize all its harms or go back to a fuedal system".

We have plenty of examples of modern production that doesn't externalize its harms and still produces a modern lifestyle. Often for not much more than that which does externalize.

For example, take some time to read up on Mondragon - a worker owned and operated behemouth that provides much of the economic output for an entire region of Spain.

There is the German Mittselstand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand

Japan has similar industries I believe.
