nothing we do is natural, farming wasnt natural, cities weren't natural, the natural argument is transparent deflection
capitalism does many things well, nobody denies that
but it didn't evolve by itself
humans made it
^
not because they were trying to or because of some invisible force that drives them to want coca cola, it's just how history played out
there was no capitalism without laws put in place by the state to do things like establish currencies and property deeds
that's not what capitalism is either
If you make something with your own tools and sell it for money, that is not a capitalist market exchange
most people working on farms were serfs
they did not get paid, they recieved food and shelter and protection
what little money they got was from selling goods they created
Most places until the enlightenment yes
history is not a series of logical events in sequence
humans are not logical
If you pay your serfs then they are no longer dependent on you
it was not everywhere
why would a feudal lord want that
"stupid 14th century kings! Why can't you be rational like me, a big-brained modern capitalist!"
africa was mainly slave society by then
and latin america was mainly primitive society
they did lmao
who didnt were the serfs
thats what is called alienation **boi**
People in the past were just as intelligent as we are, they just had worse access to education and information or our accumulated knowledge
exactly
and many kings had knowledge about their own position
the kings received tutoring about the knowledge of the ancient greeks where they could find it
they did from a feudal point of view
so nice derailing of the argument
theological anatomy
you still haven't shown a capitalist society before the enlightenment
and so on
and donald trump things climate change is a chinese scam
feudalism only has such bad look because it was the first main enemy of capitalism
idiots do not prove general intelligence was lower
when capitalism was progressive
lol
this reminds me of that Its always sunny episode
