it isn't though
if you leave a closed system alone, it eventually defaults to capitalism
@franti mein memerreich idol is the best
Its a result of scarcity *existing*
everything always goes back to capitalism in the end
"Capitalism" is literally as old as human trade
by just existing people innovate and do things
Capitalism, in its current form, is very recent
Well, that's a poor explanation for capitalism because feudalism is also predicated on scarcity , as was previous economic systems,
and those were enforced by ruling classes
"scarcity" is also kind of a weird thing, that doesn't even exist (yet)
a peasant was ALWAYS a peasant
and so on
there was no vertical movement
Fuedalism is moreso power than anything else
Perhaps... Mercantlism?
Mercantilism is referred to as early capitalism in Marxism
Eh
I.e when capitalism was still bound to states
And state interest
You mean.... state capitalism?
Yes and no,
Schrodinger’s State Capitalism

Anyway, I have to sleep, and wait silently for a certain german’s autism to act up
The main distinction was divorcing capitalism from nation state policy , i.e the actions of capital were no longer subservient to national or imperial interests
@Puma who's?
@Farseer Selna Vesha lol when did that ever happen?
And the capitalism had become a truely global phenomenon , globalism started in the 19th century truely,
@Fitzydog roughly around the 19th century, though one can argue mercantilism didn't completely end until the 70s when the USA ended the last gold backed currency
It's own
I'd argue the opposite
The market was largely unimpeded until the state took a controlling interest in it by monopolizing the control of the currency and regulating the market
I'm also gonna go to bed, it's late here and I shouldn't be up late arguing with random liberals on the internet
>when you think everyone else is a liberal
