I expected you to be a pro-capitalist shill but then you pull out this. Bravo. I misjudged you. Going back to where you said you support capitalism, I think your idea of capitalism is just outside the bullseye. Like you obviously understand a lot, I don't need to explain much to you. I think your inaccuracy comes from linking currency with capitalism, which a lot of people do. They're not the same thing. Keeping in mind I'm going to keep things in the most basic terms, capitalism, socialism, communism, are all different forms of distributive justice. Capitalism says, whomever contributes the most capital to an endeavor deserves the most distribution, labour is just a cost. Socialism says, whomever contributes labour deserves the most distribution, and communism says everyone deserves equal distribution regardless of labour and capital. You're really close to the bullseye though, so close I'm not sure my comment is even worthwhile.

To quoth my first post in this thread.

Capital, markets, and currency. All existed before capitalism.

Also, I'm generally anticapitalist. Perhaps you meant to reply to someone else? I'm of the school that thinks we should abolish the concept of unlimited private property in favor of something like personal property with much more reasonable limits. And think capitalism should only be allowed with regards to unique items that aren't generally "necessary" for society. Paintings, tchotchkes, etc.

Also your definition of communism is a bit exclusive of actual Libertarians and anarcho-communist. Isn't it? I think you are referencing leninist theory? Which has never held up in practice. The rest of it though generally tracks.

I just want you to know - you have Asperger's syndrome. (entirely unrelated to your points - all of which are objectively wrong and don't warrant a response.)

You wanted me to get up to speed - but you may not have been aware you are slow... Hope this helps.

lol objectively one of the dumbest replies I've ever seen. But whatever. A full on autistic person could reason circles around you let alone someone with HF-ASD. Because after all you can't address a single point. All you got is calling names.
