private property is theft
Does that mean that I am using YOUR feminine hygiene pads? Or I mean the ones you wanted to use?


oh capitalism works the greatest for the tiny minority of wealthy elites. not so much for the rest of the population.
Same for communism except the lifestyle quality gap is even more exaggerated under communism.

Where you got feminine hygiene products from private property, who the hell knows.

it's like you're not a real person by an alien trying to learn what humanity is about.

I try lots of things. =)

Is there another definition besides economics based upon private ownership and profit?

There's a more detailed and complete definition. Private ownership of what? To what end? And how is profit gained? What is profit for? All these things make a complete definition of what capitalism is.

Bartering is not included in this, although it isn't antithetical.

this absolute inane crap anna writes isn't even surprising at this point, this is just how ignorant she really is. you couldn't really get a wealth gap so disgustingly out of proportion then we have today.

..not without inciting a revolution anyways..

Yeah, Andrew Carnegie built a community centre in Vancouver at Main and Hastings. Capitalist philanthropy really worked wonders there.

Yeah, Andrew was known for his generosity, built quite a few libraries too. Probably supported a lot of construction!

Who says bartering isn't being done under capitalism? Funny, I know all kinds of people who barter for things. While it may not be very public, it does go on. I know a painter who barters with all sorts of people for the things she needs; a mechanic fixes her vehicle and in turn she paints whatever he & his wife need done in their house. A retired teacher barters her services for tutoring for whatever it is she requires. My dad who is a retired barber, will cut his neighbours hair in turn the neighbour cuts his lawn in the summer time. (My dad will be 90 in January) So it does go on - not necessarily in the "light of day" so to speak.
