Depends, do you think they define systems of production and distribution or do you agree with OP about it being descriptors of western and eastern world powers?
If it’s the first one, then no, aside from anarchy.
If it’s this second one, a more fair, equal, and direct democracy would be cool.
The Bible warns of greed, talks about how people with wealth will never go to heaven. Look at how much colonization/spread Abrahamic religions have and they still couldn’t solve this

Wait, so… you’re telling me… that… the violent bigots forcing their dogma on everyone couldn’t achieve world peace?
The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.[7]
So if both are evil, are there any good alternatives to them?

Thus is a good distinction to make.
But it didn’t seem obvious to me that OP is making the second choice?Never mind, I see the comments nowRemoved by mod
