  1. To be honest, Capitalism really doesn't exist. Literary wise it didn't become a common place word until roughly the 1920s. So for the rest of human civilization it really didn't exist as a concept. Marx created the concept of a capitalist, as we know it today, and he built his idea of the Capitalist off old Christian antisemitic stereotypes. You know, the evil money changer, the evil money hoarder, the one who never works and exploits everyone else for money. These were all old Christian stereotypes built around antisemitism. Worse, Marx even wrote an entire book called "On the J**ish Question" were he tries to shift his follower's mind set into believing "Oh it's just a Coincidence" because at the time some actually noticed his game. For this reason I've just gotten to the point that I flat out reject the notion of a Capitalist. It's Economic Liberalism, or Free Enterprise, a far more accurate phrase to use than Capitalism. To me the word Capitalism has been stained after reading into it's history, and origins. Even though the word predates Marx himself, his version of the word is the version we use today and it's a dark sinister perversion of the word.
