      Which was under capitalism. Capitalism was the dominant mode of production in the 1800s. And directly responsible for the increase in diseases because it forced people to move to cities when Enclosure happened and people had to go work in factories.

      What’s the problem with my example? Roman Empire qualifies for “recorded history”.

      If you weren’t a shit lib jabroni intent on knee jerk defending a system that does literally nothing for you unless you own capital, so smug and self assured and addicted to the smell of your own farts, you’d realize the point of the “recorded history” statement isn’t “the systems used before were better”

      the point of the statement is to illustrate how fleeting and ephemeral the supposed “only system that works” is. It has literally only existed for ~300 years, but stupid fuckers like you act like capitalist wage labor and property relations are just common sense “human nature”

      Anyway, hope you’re thrown into a pit you dumb fucker
