Now, if one bothers to look at history books, one can learn that INDIVIDUALS made COMPLEX CLOCKS, BY HAND, hundred of years BEFORE the FUCKING 'industrial revolution'
Not individuals, because those clocks were built under the medieval apprenticeship system.
The guild system was capitalism, and the medieval capitalist system was far more authoritarian than modern capitalism, in that a Master could beat his apprentice, and if the apprentice ran away he could have the apprentice imprisoned or dragged back on a leash.
And if you look at furniture, you can see that when modern capitalism replaced medieval capitalism, the skill of the furniture makers declined.
