Somewhat, I suppose, although, people probably grew and made most of the necessities to support their lives, eating the food that they grew, hunting, spinning their own clothes, etc.
I doubt that capitalism provides much in the way of challenge. Socialism doesn't either - but the whole point of either arrangement is to help us solve the problems life throws at us - which it would no matter which one we chose to organize our societies by.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The challenge of living in a capitalist society appears to have defeated you throughly and comprehensively, and reduced your brain, such as it was, into a pile of scrap. It is inconceivable that any society can prevent you from becoming a blithering moron. but the further decline into your current state might be prevented in more socialistic society that wasn’t so ruthless in giving you the bait and switch.

Ahriman isn't so much supporting capitalism as he is supporting what he imagines capitalism to be. The imagination is a glorious thing. Boru
