    People where mostly growing food for themselves and their family, not for each other. This changed when the first basic forms of capitalism where invented, things like markets, guilds, and skyrocketed with industrialization.

    No other system that we tried ever worked as good and produced so much peace and prosperity like capitalism. Is it perfect? Fuck no! Nothing that involves humans could ever be. But it is the best we have from a bunch of broken and fucked up systems.

      Why do the capilaist countries have to spend so much time and money to prove socialism and communism don’t work? Embargoes, sanctions, and coups shouldn’t be necessary if capitalism is objectively better.

        Markets are a proto-form of capitalism. Producing something for the whole purpose to make a profit at a market is the core of capitalism.
