Come on now, if selling to a market makes a system of production capitalist, capitalism has existed since the end of hunting and gathering societies. Markets existed a myriad of ancient slave societies and feudal societies. There is a substantial historical literature on the nature of modern slavery in the "new world," and it just might be a good idea to read some of it before offering these kinds of theses for public consumption.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass --
