Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 day agoThat’s all interesting and all, but that still doesn’t tell me what you think capitalism is.
I’ll skip the step where you ask me how it didn’t answer the question:
Your first paragraph says that people are Friday now then ever and that before the Industrial Revolution, nobody was greedy except for everyone that was.
This was news to me since all this time, I simply believed the historical records that claimed that people had been killing each other over property since the beginning of civilization.
The second paragraph disputes the definition of the word job. I concede this point. The word job means something a little different to everyone, and there’s no point in arguing semantics.
The last paragraph is nonsense. Capitalism isn’t capitalism anymore because capitalism feels like capitalism but it’s capitalism isn’t capitalism? I don’t fucking know.
So, what do you think capitalism is? Because nothing you’re saying is actually true according to the definition of capitalism.

Killing someone for property isn’t the same as putting profits over most other things. One is robbery the other is cold business practice. It doesn’t matter what I think capitalism is because the dictionary exist. I’m going off what IT IS not what I think it is

An economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.
The moment someone sold something to someone else, Capitalism was born.

The government intervenes, you need permits to even sell on a business level, also capitalism is much more than just that one simple thing. Read on it if you disagree

I copied that from the dictionary. Don’t believe me, read on it.
