Capitalism is only a couple hundred years old. Humans have not been paying to live/survive on this planet for thousands of years. Please understand this
Production for profit and wage labor are two things Karl Marx demonstrated were fundamental aspects of capitalism. The dominant way by which humans obtain their daily needs now is through the wages they recieve from working. So no capitalism hasnt existed for 1000s of years lol
If you think capitalism is simply trading shit, a form of money existing in society, hierarchy of power please read Karl Marx:

Capital volume 1-3
Grundrisse
Wage labor and capital
German ideology

All that shit youve learned in economics class will be destroyed by these books
