@nekosaiyajin8529 I used to think the way you do.... then I read Open Society and its Enemies. The paradox of tolerance states some people must be removed from society, by force, if necessary, and it is our obligation to do it.

No, they don't. Capitalism isn't "opportunism" or "entrepreneurialism." Capitalism is merely a divorce of a monopoly power, the state, from individual economic activity (taxation and regulation). Markets would, and have, always exist(ed). Laissez faire is whose hands off of what? That's what capitalism actually* is. *akshully

Not really. It was never imagined that there would never be currency as a means of exchange, nor is "charging money" for something for profit "capitalism." charging

@taylorlibby7642 I don't have "my definition" of capitalism. I have THE definition of capitalism. I guess it IS funny to laugh at obstinately incurious but forever certain people like you. Thanks for showing me the way!

The great irony here is communists eating at all. I wonder if he makes steel in the alley out back.

@Caleb-en5bo It’s not capitalist, either. Markets and currency as a means for exchange exist everywhere and in all systems. How that currency over productivity cost — profit, excess value — is distributed among the producers is immaterial. Capitalism is when the government takes its … wait for it … hands off this private process altogether. This is basic economics you’re fucking up.

@zerosaber257 I’m a capitalist, low-IQ person. A real capitalist — one who understand what markets are and what laissez fair means. . I’m a capitalist because I understand economic and embrace the evidence of objective reality and when people go astray from them. Try this instead of engaging in the emotional incontinence you quixotically conflate with “thinking.”
