Farming basically invented work and employment. They should have realized something was not right about that back then.
Right, because hunting and gathering isn't work. People just got food into their mouths doing nothing - like wild animals.
There's a difference between working for your own and your communities good and working for someone else while not being allowed to keep your (fair share of) product/profit.
That’s not how farming started though. They started farming so that they can feed themselves and their community. It eventually devolved into that, but it’s not how it started.
