Squirrels don't have jobs. There isn't some overly complex system in place to keep the raccoons doing a repetitive task to ensure that hollowed or trees are available to them. The spiders don't own those trees and almost exclusively benefit from the raccoon's labor.

Human society should absolutely collapse if it can't exist without all the inequality and suffering.

We aren't any of those animals though so I don't see how it's relevant to the discussion. We have evolved to form societies, and as such we need to work out the best frameworks given our fundamental human nature.

Other animals are in intense life and death competition with each other generally. There is not a single animal I'd rather be than a human. Non human wild animals have excruciatingly tough existences.

Humans on the other hand, travel to the other half of the earth in order to kill other humans because they're afraid that other humans will destroy their economy in the other side of the earth.

Talk to me more about the superiority of humans over animals. I'm listening

I'd rather not engage with you. This conversation has derailed into silliness.
