  13.  @andyknowles772  "Then how come it can be traded and owned?" - Pay attention. I know this is hard, but you are clearly willing to lie. A share is a CLAIM of ownership. You can trade your claim of ownership, but it isn't actually a physical thing you can touch. Just like an agreement is not actually a physical thing. You can not touch an agreement. You can touch a piece of paper where the agreement is written down on, but that piece of paper is NOT the agreement. That piece of paper is a piece of paper. The agreement is a abstract concept, just like a share (claim of ownership) is an abstract concept. "No, that would be you. Here is your claim again: "If something has shared ownership it is by definition not private"" - That is not being dishonest. That is the literal definition of it in both legal and dictionary contexts. You however keep ignoring what is said and make up false equivocations. Just like how you ignored that "shares are a claim of ownership" in your previous point. "So if a couple own a house, it is not privately owned by your definition." - That is actually correct. It isn't publicly owned, but it isn't private anymore. It is a share property. It does no longer belong to just one individual, which make it not private. "Find the dictionary definition that defines public as the opposite of individual." - Fine. Dictionary(dot)com 1. of, relating to, or affecting a population or a community as a whole 2. done, made, acting, etc., for the community as a whole 3. the people constituting a community, state, or nation 4. a particular group of people with a common interest, aim, etc. Cambridge Dictionary 1. public adjective (PEOPLE) B2: relating to or involving people in general, rather than being limited to a particular group of people 2. public adjective (GOVERNMENT) B1: provided by the government from taxes to be available to everyone 3. public adjective (PLACE) B1 A public place is one where a lot of people are 4. public noun all ordinary people Marriam-Webster 1. exposed to general view : open 2. of, relating to, or affecting all the people or the whole area of a nation or state 3. of or relating to people in general : universal 4. of or relating to business or community interests as opposed to private affairs : social As you can see. All dictionaries agree in agreement. Public is a word that is used for the concept of People. As in a group of people. It is ALWAYS defined as a group of people. You can not say that a group of people are not a group. Individual is ALWAYS when we talk about one person and their affairs. Public is always when we talk about groups. I think you need to list the dictionaries that say that public means individual.

  14.  @casaroli  The definition you gave is still wrong sadly. You have added a word that does not actually exist in any real definition. The word TOTAL does not belong to the definition. The reason for it because that should be an impossible standard to have. NO ONE has TOTAL control over anything. You have also put in another word that is actually completely meaningless in this context. What do you mean with "social control"? This can mean a lot of different this to a lot of people. Parents have social control over their children for example. The police can have social control from their job as well. However are Parents the same as Police? This word is meaningless as it means just about anything you want it to mean. It is a weasel word. You are also wrong in that Capitalism companies are not controlled by the workers. They very much can and are under capitalism. If all workers buy all the shares in a publicly traded corporation, they are the owners of it AND control it. Ownership alone is not actually what defines what is and isn't capitalism. You have socialism when EVERYTHING starts to become controlled or owned by the state/government. In capitalism, you are free to do what you want with your property without government interference. To a common sense degree ofc. We can not allow someone to dump toxic waste and endanger everyone else because they are to lazy to be responsible. While the Soviet Union went with state ownership of everything. The Nazis went with state control over everything. Sure. The Nazi state might not OWN the factory. But if that factory did not do its part to support their political goals and support the war. The ownership might just be "removed" from the owner.

  25. Okay. A few problems here. How are the "insurance companies" supposed to enforce their rules that keep people from just stealing your stuff? How are they supposed to protect you? So lets say you have a protection group. This protection group can not operate all over the world. They need to be there when you need them. If you get mugged, they need to be able to get to you within a reasonable time otherwise there is no point in using them. This means they need a piece of territory where they can post guards and centers from where they can deploy. Like departments. They can only protect you while you are within their territory. A service area so to say. Now lets say the same group gets into some bad stuff. There is a massive riot and they are called out to stop and prevent people from getting hurt and hopefully save peoples businesses. There is no way to ensure who has and who has not paid their protection policy. It just isn't possible to do when you may have to fight for your or someone else life. They have to act as if everyone has paid their fees even if they can't check if they have or not. The best way to ensure everyone has paid for them, is to make sure only those who have paid for them is allowed to be within their service area. You are free to not pay them, but you also can't be within their area and gain protection from them without paying. This means you have boarder controls and forced service fees if you wish to be somewhere. Fact is that there is no place on earth that isn't claimed by someone. If you do not wish to pay this protection group, where exactly are you supposed to go? The protection group will force you out by force as they can't do their duty if you do not pay them. This will mean you have two choices. Pay them what they ask for, or leave to some other place that will ask you for taxes. There is no choice unless you have managed to find a way to paddle water in the middle of the ocean forever. The protection group also need to make sure there are terms to who they are supposed to protect. They can't protect a child trafficker and a murderer against his victims just because he has paid their fee. So there need to be rules you have to follow within their service area. Those rules also must exist so the protection group do not make arbitrary decisions. Even if you do not need the protection groups service, you have to pay them. It is the cost of doing business. They are required to be trained and keep themselves ready for anything at any point. You can't arm yourself after you are required to defend yourself. You can't pay for a backup of your business computers after all of your data has been lost in a fire. You are required to pay for the backup service even if you never need the backup. The problem here is that all of these reasons are reasonable. You need to require all of these in a actual situation where you have to deal with hostile people that do not care for your ideologies. The sanctity of the holy church do not prevent the vikings from breaking down the door and plunder the church so to say. Your argument "because they do not coerce people into using them" do not work for the simple fact it does not work in reality. You are forced into paying someone to protect you if you are not going to stand for that protection yourself. They are not going to risk their life for you out of the goodness of their hearts. You are after all not willing to do it for them, which is why you pay them in the first place. At some point. All those associations or groups will start to collect taxes to pay for essential services. You have no other choice than to pay for the simple reason that you have nowhere else to go. There is no more unclaimed land on this planet. You have to pay someone for something eventually. A fee everyone has to pay is a tax by another name.

  39. A few problems here. 1. High cost of housing isn't a problem caused by capitalism. What cause high costs of housing can be several factors. Factors like: - Not allowed to build houses due to government regulation. (not capitalisms fault) - Not enough time to build houses (not capitalisms fault) - A high demand in areas (not capitalisms fault) Just because housing can be expensive doesn't mean it is caused by capitalism. You must be rather arrogant to think everyone should be able to get a housing in very crowded cities at a cheap price. The more you demand for housing within a set location, the more expensive it become. It isn't caused by Capitalism. It is caused because your neighbor will pay more to live where you want to live than you will. 2. multi- millionaires pay more in taxes than you do. The top 1% pay 38.8% of the total income tax. The bottom 50% pay 3.1%. That means the upper 50% pay 96.9% of all taxes, where the top 5% pay 70.9%. You complaining that the rich isn't paying taxes is factually incorrect. They are paying more than you ever will in taxes. If you don't believe me, just go and look up the statistics from your government. They actually have the evidence for this as it is well known. 3. You claim you are "enslaved" is just silly. You are free to leave when you want, but you do not want to. You think living in those massive cities are so much better because you are not willing to move to a smaller town. You are not enslaved. You have enslaved yourself by not being able to look outside of the box you placed yourself in. 4. Being poor and being broke are not the same thing. When you have no money you are broke. When you are poor you have a bad lifestyle that keep you poor. If you do not want to be poor, you need to lose that lifestyle.

  40. I don't agree. Capitalism and Socialism is an abstract concept. Pure Socialism or pure Capitalism has never existed sure. But it isn't name calling to call for example the Soviet Union socialism. At some point your actions do justify a label. If we are going to go with only pure labels on everything we are going to have to label everything "unknown". The Soviet Union was a government based around an unknown ideology. The USA is a government is a government based around an unknown ideology. It gets silly after a while. How was Hitler to the right socially? There was a time where many nations all around the world looked up to Germany as a new and legit way to run things. They subsisted vacations, ensured workers were promised breaks for lunch (was the first to put legally enforced lunch breaks if I remember correctly) and many other stuff. This is not what you see from someone on the right. I want to point out the definition of what Socialism is here. The definition is: "Socialism is a social and economic policy where ownership or control of the production, property and resources belong to the public instead of the private." Every single ideology that belong to Socialism must have the core tenant that everything should belong to the state since it is the representation of the public. The nationalization of industry is part of socialism as it will bring the ownership to the workers instead of just a single or a few individuals. If the nation owns it, the government owns it. If the government owns it the community it represent owns it. Of the community owns it, the workers working their owns it. This is why nationalization = worker/communal ownership. If I get what you are saying correct, I think you are very wrong in saying that Socialists are nationalization. They are very much for it because they are for communal ownership, and a nation is just a big community with a piece of territory. I don't get how you any Socialist should be against nationalization, unless they are the kind of socialist that doesn't understand their ideology.
