'Permanent' settlements did not appear until the Neolithic (approximately 12,000 years ago), and they would have functioned largely in a manner that would have been considered true communism. The crops grown and game hunted were shared by the community would not have been considered individual property, as barter economies would not develop for several thousand more years, and true currency long after that. So, recite the far-right's line that man's natural state is capitalism is completely inaccurate, as we have spent the overwhelming majority of history as nomadic scavengers and hunters devoid of basic markets and currency.

I will wager that this is not true. I have all of history prior to 1917 to back it up too.

Hilary Clinton borrowed the phrase from a 1994 children's book by Jane Cowen-Fletcher.
