Also if you're talking about alternatives to capitalism, there is like an infinite amount

Stop thinking so rigidly

Name 10

There is a large amount of alternatives, but a little amount of workable or sustainable ones.

Not to mention that change is highly improbable under the yoke of the current system.

I mean that people are creative, and could come up with *literally an infinite amount of economic systems*

I called him on bullshit and he left the server LMFAO

Most alternatives to capitalism still incorporate elements of it, would you agree? @Josh42A

Like wage labor and/or private property

any system with a monetary unit is capitalism

I would disagree

communism is the one alternitive because they replace money

@The Big Oof do you understand from a financial perspective what capital is?

Explain your position on this.

You may have a better understanding than I do, we'll see

In accounting capital is any form of asset that has a monetary value assigned to it

Yep

any society with capital is capitalist in my opinion

true marxist communism would be the only outlier

Alright, I see your position now. It's more of a strict one, but still correct depending on how one looks at it

spain republic had no capital but they soon introduced coupons

What most people call capitalism could be called labeled "liberalism" if this definition is to be followed

*any system with a monetary unit is capitalism*
By that logic Feudalism and Fascism are capitalist.

Idk how many commies would agree with you calling Feudalism capitalist

I agree that Feudalism and Fascism are economically capitalist

@ImATomato I'm not a commie though just a humble CS major that had to take 4 semesters of accounting.

CompSci?

yes

Fair enough

Taking a degree in CS myslef

most people look at capitalism as a political system I look at it as strictly economic

Honestly idk if capitalism really exists because nobody seems to have a consistent definition of it and it doesn't seem to be a singular thing

an unrelated example of how I view things I pissed a nat soc off because he asked for a nat soc role in one server I co-own I gave him "Marxist"

and Nationalist

but still he freaked

In a sense monkeys can become capitalist the moment you give them tokens and they use it to exchange for food or groomings

yes

bonobos are capitalist as they trade a service for various things

the service happens to be sex

Hah what a sperg

I just googled the definion of capitalism for the first time and it fits my explanation
