    Before agriculture people were like that, but as people settled down it created a class system. Then people got more powerful and such and states began to be created.

    During this time (Around 4000bce and 400ce) feudalism wasn’t really a thing, but after the Western Roman Empire fell around 400ce the power vacuum it created lead to the creation of feudalism. This was because of several factors, but I can’t remember them all right now.

    But money did exist even before the creation feudalism, since the Romans and the Egyptians did have money. Even in Mesopotamia currency was used. And even if money didn’t exist trade was still being done with valueable things like resources and other commodities, which lead to those things becoming a de-facto currency.

    So basically pre-agriculture was like tribes that shared their stuff and such, but after agriculture not so much. Of course this isn’t a one-answer-fits-all thing, since there are always exceptions.

    Sorry for the long ramble. I just got really into writing this thing. Also I could be wrong on some things, since I am writing from memory.

    Mainly mercantilism which just means that everyone wants to only export and importing stuff is literally the worst thing in the world. Mercantilism also had a lot more state restrictions on it compared to capitalism.

    Feudalism mainly died out in the 1400’s when more of the power was centralised to the king instead of their vassals.

    They have brought up some good points, but the good points they make are over shadowed by the whole genocide denial and “dunking on libs”.

    The following example is not meant to represent hexbear users, but to show an example of how I could see it.

    Think of a fascist who brings up some good examples of modern problems in about 1/10 of their messages, while the rest are talking about how Mussolini was actually good, since he brought up the living standard in Italy and expanded the public sector. And when someone brings up the bad things Mussolini did, the fascist just says “It’s clearly western propaganda”.

    You wouldn’t want to read their messages, since they are full of this fascist apologetic garbage, and the good points they bring up are ignored because of their other opinions.

    It doesn’t matter how good willed your opinions are if no one wants to associate with you.
