Teddy Roosevelt will always be one of my favorite presidents
If there's a single corporation, no matter how small it is, and it's not run by the state nor it's a cooperative, then it's capitalism
Because the only purpose of private property is making profit
What do you mean by private property
@Advocatus Diaboli like I said, that is not capitalism
What is the purpose of profit though?
that's an absolutist take i've never heard of
that is your view of capitalism
it's a very uneducated and broad view
What is capitalism then?
Is it profit to fund something, or profit because you just want to be rich?
@Advocatus Diaboli answer me
What is private property to you
Capitalism exists on a spectrum.
@GucciToiletSalesman Scroll up a bit, there's my answer
K
Wait
Capitalism is not a political ideology, it's an economic system
By your definition every system EVER has been capitalistic
So is hunting grounds considered for profit?
there has never been a system where a man did not make something and sell it to someone for profit.
Because most hunting grounds are either state owned or private property
and there never will be one
USSR

1929-1956
you dont think there were people who created objects and sold them?
you think that was outside the realm of possibility?
they existed
they existed for profit
therefore
capitalism
