While basic forms of trade, commerce, and private ownership have existed throughout human history, #capitalism became systemized 300 to 400 years ago. Still, quite a long time ago.

However, modern man has existed for 300,000 years or more.

Mankind managed to survive and spread across the planet for 299,600 years without capitalism.

It's far from being a necessity. Far from being a necessary evil.
