In some cases the slaves were owned by the state (or community or whatever on a smaller scale). In any case, if we’re arguing this, then the meme shared by OP doesn’t make sense anw as we’ve always had capitalism and thus parent-child relationships have been transactional from the beginning.
EDIT: While I’m writing, I might as well address the bit about elder care in the previous (parent) comment. You can see it as “humanitarian labor” or “love,” but in a number of countries, it is expected that you’ll take care of parents, grandparents, etc. pretty much no matter how terribly they raised you, or how poor your relationship with them is. IMO this is basically a transaction in that they fed you for X number of years and kept you alive, and now even if they did the absolute minimum, you must take care of them. Obviously in many (most?) cases the child will be willing to do it out of love, but this isn’t always the case.
If you consider hunter-gatherer tribes capturing slaves from those they raided to be capitalism, then alright I guess.
Is ‘owning’ people not private ownership of property?

never thought I would see somebody splitting hairs on slavery in defense of capitalism in anarchymemes, but here we are.
I went to save this for future use and had to double take when i saw the .gif extension.
You didn’t notice the eyebrows? 😁
This isn’t a defense of capitalism, but blaming capitalism for everything bad in the world is ridiculous.
you’re right, religion is the other half of all evil.
Well, I agree that religion is often bad (or at least abused to harm people). I guess you have a much more optimistic view of humanity than I do.
Indeed.
Raiders were the start of the capitalist gene.
Now recall what conquerer tribes did, and you got a capitalist gang.
