no, that is not capitalism

the proletes are being oppressed by the burgers in a post-imperialialist colonial system of wage-oligarchies @fen

"A system built on capital"

Then venezuela is capitalist

Yes

It is

Lol

It has no freedom of association

It failed to organize its society.

it has no private property

I think capitalism is reaping what you sow, equality of opportunity

Venezuela is 70% private economy

it is controlled by a coercive state

Kid... get out into the real world.

Nationalizing an industry here and there does not equal socialism. In Venezuela, the capitalist mode of production reigns supreme.

correcc benny

the larger a contribution the more you make

If you sell something you get the money

how was that property acquired?

If you do something you he t the money

@fen "muh coercive state"... It's called failed planning of a damn economy.

I bet that it wasn't in a free market.... it was through the exploitation of the workers by the state and its friends

Property aquired by paymwnt

@Benny_Boi (weeb hunter) equality of opportunity will never exist because some are strong, some are intelligent, and some are not
and there's nothing wrong with that

Payment*

dude, just because you own a company doesn't mean you are a capitalist... Venezuelan companies can only strive because they are protected by the state

Correct

But

@karbon Fucking agree.

Atleast trying

>equality of opprotunity=Equal outcome

Your IQ is showing

Anybody has the opportunity to *try* is the point.

I don't believe in equality as it requires cohersion by default as nothing or nobody is equal.

Fuck the state.

Regardless of physical potentials, the point is that it's *possible* for one to achieve a large opportunity.

difference in perspective on free will, but that's irrelevant to this

exactly, thats the point they don't get... if you don't like to work for someone else, you can work for YOURSELF!

@fen "Free Markets" don't exist. Capitalism is kept afloat thanks to government intervention in the marketplace. And there is overwhelming evidence which supports this fact. The Financial Crisis of 07-08 being one instance.

don't like the company you are working on? Create your own company!
