The left is tolerant of anyone who votes for the left.

averagejoel posted...Wry-Guy posted...But humanity has never "thrived" without capitalism. In tribal economies the hierarchy was always determined by who was strongest, most accomplished, smartest, or had the most. More successful models of this were empires like the Mayas and Aztecs. There have been some small tribes here and there that mostly stuck to themselves and were a bit less capitalistic, but I can't think of any that weren't capitalistic. For one thing proper resources are necessary for survival. For another accomplishment and the gain of power are human needs. that's called trade, or exchange. it existed long before capitalism. currency and work also existed before capitalism. capitalism is more specific than that, though those things are certainly part of it. read some history --- peanut butter and dick ...

Literally anything that isn't communism, pure socialism, or extreme state controlled authoritarianism is a form of capitalism. Barter / trade, monetary based, anything. Splitting hairs and calling an empire uncapitalistic is like saying America isn't capitalistic because it's actually an oligarchy. --- Not just another Shy-Guy ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm suggesting you pay more attention to the definitions. Economic and social systems can exist in tandem with one another and can have aspects of one another.

Economic and social systems can exist in tandem with one another and can have aspects of one another. this does not negate anything i said. feudalism had some qualities of capitalism, so depending on how you're defining the term, it might be "capitalistic", but they're still two distinct economic systems. capitalism came after feudalism. --- peanut butter and dick ...

Capitalism specifically describes that there exists a system within a society promoting private trade and profit. This can exist in almost any type of government including ancient governments and isn't new. I'm not sure why you think it's a recent invention, it's as old as humanity.

You can quibble with the timing a bit: some might place it earlier in the 1700s, but he's about right. Capitalism is not just "all trade or commerce." --- kin to all that throbs ...
