As a scholar in human behaviour and a social scientist... yes. Yes it is.

@MarkPaul where did capitalism exist under primitive man, Mark?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@basilfawlty89 Primitive man engaged in barter arrangements. We know this from cave dwelling pictures... primitive graffiti, if you will. As these "primitives" in your heritage line engaged in trades, the fundamentals of what would be become capitalism formed.

@MarkPaul er...no they didn't. Barter was only used with other tribes. Early man used a gift economy, the community worked and received their fair share. There was no private property or wage. Hence no capitalism.

@basilfawlty89 Er... no. That is not how it worked... except in the comic books.

@MarkPaul er, yes it did.

You once again prove your lack of credentials. Trade doesn't mean capitalism. Private ownership of the means of production and wage labour is capitalism. Congratulations on proving you know nothing of economic theory. Keep spouting bullshit and I'm gonna tag an actual economist on here to school you.
