    Every capitalist society on Earth once started as “Indigenous people” that grew and evolved in to what we have today.

      There’s a lot to unpack here.

      • how many capitalist societies do you think there are?
      • is there some issue with the term indigenous people?
      • do you think that if one (or multiple?) societies have capitalism, that growing and evolving will always result in capitalism?

        I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

        1. That depends on how you want to break things down. Is all of humanity one society? Do we break it down at the country level? Something smaller?
        2. Again, I don’t know what you mean.
        3. Nope, but capitalist societies came from somewhere. All humans have a common ancestor, and started as indigenous people. At some point most of them decided to adopt capitalism.
