    Those two concepts are incompatible. I’m assuming we’re both American so you’ve probably heard that capitalism means free market exchange of goods and services but that’s actually just commerce and is a feature of every economic system. The defining trait of capitalism is actually that one guy can own the means of production and is entitled to the capital produced. Whereas in socialism and communism there is no private ownership of production.

    It would be difficult to make a semantically coherent argument for someone who doesn’t know the definitions of the words you’re saying.

    You should read that other comment again. The democratization of production as opposed to private ownership is the communal part of communism you were looking for. It’s the profit goes to the workers instead of Jeff Bezos and his investors as in capitalism. If you demand that the root of the word mean something else then of course the argument makes no sense.














  • They don’t, but they will. We’ll keep talking until something happens and the longer it takes the worse it’s gonna get. All the years that people have been “complaining” I have never seen so many mentions of guillotines as I have this year. Either the politicians start working for the people or rich folk stop ruining everything. Otherwise we are all going to have a big problem on our hands.
