well ancient egypt did have payrolls and quarterly reports because that’s kind of just a necessary function for a civilization of that scale. I know everybody hates payroll and doing quarterly reports but that isn’t because sharing and / or having that type of information sucks, it’s because it’s all to do more nickel and dime shit
I think “technically” it wasn’t slavery, atleast as envisioned in modernity. But there was definitely coercion involved so it probably amounts to what anarchists would call slavery. So yeah not something to take inspiration from. But an easy “gotcha” for people saying without capitalism there is no progress.
(Not that I’m necessarily a fan of the heirarchical organisation of Ancient Egypt, but sharing cuz shows ur point)

They used slaves, so not too far off from capitalism.
