Well OK. But the relative price of each is dynamic. Archeology found the
world's first industrial zone in Turkey, where there was a deposit of
obsidian (capital) that was flaked into two forms- one style for the
Levant, where the land was drier, more open and another for the much
wetter more wooded North.

Nobody much valued the capital because there were so man deposits
created by the vulcanism; Hodder, digging at Chatal Hoyuk, shows us a
chart with a dozen cities that existed 10,000 years ago. He also shows
us how each house left signs of some kind of industry- pottery,
basketry, weaving, and of course, knapping points. All of these required
capital- clay, fiber, reeds, obsidian, etc. and we see the labor that
went into the result.

But there's no palace for a "capitalist". What we do see are communal
houses like the Mosou of SW China still live in. They have the same
system, each house is engaged in commercial activity, but there is no
palace for a Mosou king. Which is because the Mosou are matriarchic.

No king, means no harem. No harem means that nobody tries to exploit the
schit out of the workers to have the resources to support one, or the
palace to keep them in, or the castle to protect the palace.

That's why modern Communism failed; it was still run by men, who still
used the system to acquire the status symbols of power and wealth in
order to attract mistresses. And who still used the state trying to
control the flow of information to disguise that fact. It does not
matter whether a system is capitalist, socialist or communist; men will
find ways to exploit it to get more pussy.

The alternative is when women run things. Where matriarchy failed is
that it did not allocate enuf for national defense. The Mosou survived
only because they are so far up in the Himalaya mtns in a resource base
that lacks portable forms of wealth.

But the women taking over business and government today have access to
the historical record, and besides, the brave heart, strong right arm,
sword in hand... no longer cuts it. Smith & Wesson guarantee equal
rights for smart women, while at the same time, many of them have seen
how the cunt still works in the climb to power. But once they've
replaced men, the women still climbing up will need to rely on other
talents. But in no case will they need to exploit men at the same level
the alpha males they replace did.
