it only took ~12 000 years to "naturally gravitate to capitalism"

I dunno man, ever since someone invented money, there always were rich and poor people, and class division

Capitalism arose well after money, it's a specific mode of production.

Yeah, because the previous prelevant system, feudalism, was so fair and not at all exploitative of the poor by the rich

Feudalism was also exploitative, but in a different manner and character as the class character was different. I don't see what your point is, here.
