I'm not sure which part you'd like me to elaborate on so I'll just say a little about both statements.
I guess saying that we can't live like "this" without businesses and corporations is removed from the truth too. Society obviously would be vastly different without business interest, but what I should have said is the standard of living could be equal or even greater. All we would need to do is put the people in power of the means of production. Not wealthy CEO's part of a BIG CLUB out to make windfall profits at the expense of other humans and the earth's resources.
It should strike most people as odd when they see third world countries with massive amounts of natural resources but somehow they are billions and billions of dollars and debt and not showing any sign of rising out of poverty. It's pretty clear that this is the work of multinational corporations and banking cartel. Corrupting government officials and their leaders, corporate sponsored assassinations, and overthrowing democratically elected leaders are common things in third world countries even to this day. You won't hear it on the news, but the information is out there.
Look at Latin America. They're in the midst of all sorts of protests, revolutions, and riots. They've been in the crosshairs of multinationals for decades and they're fucking sick of it. For years and years these people have been raped for their land and resources for corporations like Shell, Bechtel, etc. They're purposely kept poor and defenseless so they can continue to suck their lands dry and rob them for everything they have.
