Capitalism didn't even exist at the time, wtf are you smoking
Gasp reading “capitalist” as someone seeking to exploit something in order to make capital must be hard. There’s no way anyone could have possibly done something similar to that before supply side Jesus handed capitalism to white people in London or whatever.
It is a great shame that the influence of Judaism and Christianity didn’t permanently instill Western society to maintain a robust concept of usury.
I guess if you redefine reality to match your authoritarian ideology, no one can effectively argue with you.
My dude you do realize this is a meme and not a historical document written in Hebrew right?
While the concept as capitalism didn't exist, there are certainly many facets of the ancient economy that are facets of capitalism.
Most of the economy was privately held, just certain facets of modern capitalism like corporations didn't exist.
So, while you are technically true, you know exactly what they are talking about. We can't 100% relate, but issues like laborers getting a fair wage and the rich exploiting the poor were just as relevant then as now.
EXACTLY BRO!!
