    It is meant to be against capital because it comes from the brutal medieval era. Thats at least my interpretation of it

      the medieval period may have been brutal in europe, but next door, the islamic golden age was happening at that time, involving huge advances & development in medicine, mathematics, philosophy, art, etc between the 8th and 14th/15th centuries.
