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

2018-05-28 17:10:17 UTC  

Because the only purpose of private property is making profit

2018-05-28 17:10:49 UTC  

What do you mean by private property

2018-05-28 17:11:14 UTC  

@Advocatus Diaboli like I said, that is not capitalism

2018-05-28 17:11:17 UTC  

What is the purpose of profit though?

2018-05-28 17:11:19 UTC  

that's an absolutist take i've never heard of

2018-05-28 17:11:20 UTC  

that is your view of capitalism

2018-05-28 17:11:27 UTC  

it's a very uneducated and broad view

2018-05-28 17:11:33 UTC  

What is capitalism then?

2018-05-28 17:11:33 UTC  

Is it profit to fund something, or profit because you just want to be rich?

2018-05-28 17:11:40 UTC  
2018-05-28 17:11:50 UTC  

What is private property to you

2018-05-28 17:11:51 UTC  

Capitalism exists on a spectrum.

2018-05-28 17:11:58 UTC  

@GucciToiletSalesman Scroll up a bit, there's my answer

2018-05-28 17:12:02 UTC  

K

2018-05-28 17:12:30 UTC  

Wait

2018-05-28 17:12:32 UTC  

Capitalism is not a political ideology, it's an economic system

2018-05-28 17:12:38 UTC  

By your definition every system EVER has been capitalistic

2018-05-28 17:12:43 UTC  

So is hunting grounds considered for profit?

2018-05-28 17:12:44 UTC  

What

2018-05-28 17:13:04 UTC  

there has never been a system where a man did not make something and sell it to someone for profit.

2018-05-28 17:13:06 UTC  

Because most hunting grounds are either state owned or private property

2018-05-28 17:13:25 UTC  

and there never will be one

2018-05-28 17:13:30 UTC  

USSR

2018-05-28 17:13:34 UTC  

wrong

2018-05-28 17:13:40 UTC  

1929-1956

2018-05-28 17:13:47 UTC  

you dont think there were people who created objects and sold them?

2018-05-28 17:13:59 UTC  

you think that was outside the realm of possibility?

2018-05-28 17:14:08 UTC  

they existed

2018-05-28 17:14:11 UTC  

they existed for profit

2018-05-28 17:14:12 UTC  

therefore

2018-05-28 17:14:17 UTC  

capitalism

2018-05-28 17:14:19 UTC  

so

2018-05-28 17:14:23 UTC  

stalin was a capitalist pig

2018-05-28 17:14:26 UTC  

kill him

2018-05-28 17:15:03 UTC  

You forgot about the second part of my definition

2018-05-28 17:15:06 UTC  

Waged labour

2018-05-28 17:15:54 UTC  

no, like you said

2018-05-28 17:16:02 UTC
