This is why liberals claim capitalism isn't a specific material circumstance, but an abstract set of values, or simply when trade exists. They want to make it seem like capitalism is an intractable part of human existence that's existed for as long as we have. One time I was talking to a guy who didn't seem to be joking who told me capitalism began when the universe did, because chemicals trade electrons.
