A lot of things that the left claims were invented by capitalism are pre-human. Things like hierarchy, territory, family, and many other concepts that they claim were invented by capitalist humans to subjugate others can be found in many other forms of life that never had a chance to learn it from humans.
Part of the problem is that the left relies on scientific narratives that we now know to be objectively wrong. Rousseau's noble savage narrative assume that when completely left alone human beings will always be good and it was only society which makes them evil. This was based on science that was even kind of dodgy in his time, and now it's completely debunked and ahistorical, anthropologically speaking.
That's a big deal because one of the reasons for example that leftists think we need to abolish the family is writings by Marx and Engels which incorrectly assume family is essentially a construct of late humans.
Did you see this carried through in some anthropology, where they will find one female who was given a burial in warrior paraphernalia and they extrapolate that one thing to mean that before writing everything must have been in egalitarian and all of their ideas about gender existed. By that logic, the world must have been fully egalitarian in the 1900s because Marie curie and queen Elizabeth existed.

The Left likes to give nasty names to rational adaptations in the hope of banishing the need for them.
