Just curious: What do you consider the first #capitalist society?

Generally, folks seem to think of the 19th century. Roughly when #Industrialisation moved the power to exploit people from "power by noble birth" (#Feudalism) to "power by capital ownership" (#Capitalism) on a large scale. With a lot of overlap, of course.

Yet some Marxists as well as "Capitalism= #PrivateProperty" folks argue an earlier beginning of capitalism.

If you want to get morbidly angry at the capitalist ruling class like I just did, read the 6th chapter of Karl Marx's "The Civil War in France": The Fall of Paris, as well as the whole thing since it's a really good book.
