capitalism was born out of the fallout of the Enclosure Acts in England

the cities were flooded with heathens (commoners) and the "capitalists" put them to work and applying new theories about production lines to lower the cost of production so all of the commoners could have shoes and working WCs and all this kind of thing

previous to the act of the oligarchs to claim ownership and send armies out to drive all the dirty roaming herders off the nice meadows that the princes and earls wanted to themselves there was no need for this, these people were just living hunter gatherer herder lifestyles

so it was a huge cultural problem instigated by the wealthy titled oligarchs that led to a big problem

the great fire of london was one consequence of this, and another was the inception of capitalism, and it was a solution for the POOR to clothes and equip themselves for urban life

and the people who did it were the most lowly of the oligarchs, and this entire WORD capitalism was a slur against these barely landed gentry who turned their property to the use of production for higher efficiency

anyway, ultimately it's got nothing to do with any particular brand of christianity, the calvinists just created a doctrine to bring all those herders into their anglican churches to indoctninate them, they were just exploiting the poor people, unlike the capitalists, who gave them the ability to earn some coins by making stuff their peers could afford

anticapitalism is a mental disease of the megalomaniac privileged ruling classes
