    European colonies and the Caliphate had slaves but the rest of the world didn’t, and even then there were long stretches of time prior where slavery wasn’t a thing (though this is region dependent). Slavery in indigenous communities is also not something I’ve heard of (prior to colonisation, obviously).

    Private capital has always existed everywhere (always i.e. the past 500 years). It’s hard to imagine what you’ve never seen

      I enjoy how your commentary bounces from bold absolutes to caveats for their obvious falseness. You’re always ( ie the last 3 minutes) wrong that wherever you go there you aren’t (except when corporeal).
