  Wait, just so we’re clear on the timeline of human development. There were tribes and no society. Then there was the industrial revolution, English Common law, and then now?

  You really, really, need to study history. You’re missing a few thousand years there. That’s probably why you’re confused. You really do think humans were savage tribes before 1492.

    Again this is apparently your story. Just making things up because you don’t have a relevant point I guess is what we are doing now?

  When Rome was established, city walls built, aqueducts constructed, complex trade networks established, no one was being paid a wage, but that was certainly a society. They eventually got money and used it, but it wasn’t essential to running a society and still isn’t.

    Uh… I think you might want to reevaluate that particular analogy. Maybe look at HOW Rome was built… also WHEN money was a thing.

    I mean unless you are advocating literal slavery as a means to build things.

      “when” is irrelevant, it wasn’t in use in the city until later. The general point was that labor is done for reasons beside wages, and you’re deluded by modern capitalism into thinking that they aren’t

        Uh… yeah generally labor was done by slaves… I think you may not understand how thing work.

        You are right about delusion- just the whom and what of it are misplaced.
