When the subject of kulturkampf comes up, I'm obliged to note that it is the marketplace that makes old ideas and methods obsolete. One cannot reject modernity and accept capitalism, because they are two sides of the same coin.
I do not understand your assertion. As I understand "capitalism"-----it is a very old system-------the prevalent
system of the ancient world
I suppose broadly speaking, Bedouin traders were capitalists. But I mean in terms of an economic policy that we would recognize. What makes the marketplace dynamic, also makes it eager to discard old methods of doing things. In fact, these two things are so similar that i feel silly mentioning them separately. As long as we have a free marketplace, society will continue to discard the errors of its past.
"Compare the results achieved by these “shopkeepers’ ethics” with the achievements of Christianity! Christianity has acquiesced in slavery and polygamy, has practically canonized war, has, in the name of the Lord, burnt heretics and devastated countries. The much abused “shopkeepers” have abolished slavery and serfdom, made woman the companion of man with equal rights, proclaimed equality before the law and freedom of thought and opinion, declared war on war, abolished torture, and mitigated the cruelty of punishment."
-- Ludwig von Mises; from 'Socialism'
I am not at all impressed. Christianity is a religion-----not an economic system. "shop keeper"------is basic capitalism ---an economic system in use for millenia and prevalent in lands that adhered to a whole plethora of different religions across the globe including christianity
