I can admit that I’m not enough of a history nerd to disprove you. I’m pretty sure Karl Marx uas, though.

But yeah, if you say so: Capitalism is as old as humanity. From way back when people invented money to make barter easier, which never happend. Sure thing, bra. /s

In the medieval book, The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300 (2007), Theodore Evergates dedicates an entire section to ‘The Market in Fiefs’

So… where were the medieval capitalists? O.o

The serfs left the farm because for all its hardships, it was better. They could have gone back but didn’t.

Nope, the enclosure of the commons prohibited the serfs to come back. If living conditions were so much better in the proletariat, the conditions wouldn’t have led to several revolutions.

I fail to see a distinction between a Lord owning a farm with a mill that produced flour and a capitalist owning a factory that produces flour.

The difference is that a feudal lord didn’t sell the flour for profit which he invested to buy more farmland (that’s the M -> C -> M' process Marx explains in “das Kapital”). You couldn’t buy land in feudal times.

Nor do I agree with Engels that serfs had it better because it was in their Lord’s interests. If that was the case then a Capitalist would treat it’s workers better as well.

You don’t need to agree with Engels. The industrial revolution lead to a stark, tangible decrease in living conditions for the proletariat/former serfs. That’s just a historical fact.

Not to forget all the peoples that practice Pre-Marxist socialism.

That’s not what you asked, lol. You asked “how is it not?” You got an answer to that.

I don’t appreciate that kind of sexualizing address.

Definetly not meant as a suggestive question. No, siree. /s

You still didn’t answer: In what way is that (supposedly unsuggestive) question relevant to the topic? How do you respect the context?

Butthurt much?

Private property of the means of production.

Private property existed beforehand, Means of productions obviously did. But explicit private property of the means of production is a relatively new invention.

Context matters, homie.

Private property of the mop.

I’m guessing your question was asked in quite a suggestive way. I have to ask: why should it be important?

One example: Capitalism requires private property of the means of production. Markets don’t. You can have usufruct markets.

Yeah, it’s more of a tool for an artistic purpose.

However, my T-shirts are rapidly declining in structural integrity and I’m over all that nerd shit. I wanna make a crow Design and put it on a shirt.

Enshittification engaged. /j

Exactly. This is a bet that Plex is going to lose with the proliferation of Jellyfin.

So… no to laser, right?

Alright. After I’ve built my Voron, then. ;)

Can this laser attachment (safely) cut vynil, tho? (Serious question)

Idk, a dragknife seems like less of a hazzle than a laser, but what do I know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Might not be worth sacrificing my only working 3D printer for a project I don’t know I will (be able to) follow, amiright?
