T-60s have Iron Man flight suit powers now and they're portrayed as nothing but a liability.

No, my idea of capitalism's development is much earlier than colonies and cities. It has to do with you having chickens and your neighbor having pigs. You want pork, and have eggs. So, you trade eggs for part of a newly butchered pig. That works out great until you realize that chickens don't lay eggs in the winter and pigs only breed at certain times of the year. So, to solve that problem, you come up with a non-perishable intermediary that stores the value of both eggs and pork. Something like coins. From there, the world's your oyster.

Market economy and capitalism are two related concepts, but not equal. The existence of a market doesn't mean a society is capitalist: for instance, a neolithic society can have bartering and a proto-market of some sort, but that doesn't mean it's a capitalist society.

Political economy aside, the show is fucking stupid and so is the obsession of every media product to portray the overcooked "capitalism bad hurr durr" as some kind of deep societal critique, whatever your political ideology may be. Straight up "I'm 14 and this is so deep" type of critique
