Tell that to Trump. He's the guy who stiff his contractors.

That'd be white collar crime, not at the point of a gun.

So say again, just to be clear: your thesis here is that the difference between capitalism and communism, at least as perceived by the exploited worker, is the presence of gunpoint?

Communism is not to supposed to have money at all, so no pay for anything ever. Also the original meme is about how socialist talk about capitalism, not how it actually is. Finally under actual capitalism, not paying people what you agreed to is a crime.

???? Communism has money, the point is that trade happens on behalf of the community, not on an individual scale.

And yes, the OP was about how socialists perceive capitalism and I fixed it for you. We see it as a lot of work in exchange for flimsy excuses not to pay us properly. White collar crimes, as you put it.

Communism is not supposed to have money, rather everyone owns everything collectively and the collective decides how everything and everyone is used. You do not need to pay others for the use of your own property. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

And you didn't fix it, you called a crime capitalism and got how that crime happens wrong.

You keep calling it a crime. And don't get me wrong, wage theft should be a crime. But a major complaint of what you would call socialists is the way wage theft keeps getting encoded into law.

You went back to theft, like in the original meme. Also the complaint generally goes along the line of the rich steal all the own from their workers.

You've been only one I've seen talk about it being encoded into the law, but even you used cases of illegal contract violations, or theft by fraud, to start with.

Basically, you have a chance here to understand better how socialists actually perceive capitalism to be especially as itv relates to Trump being in any way the face of it, instead of lecturing people on what you think they think.

So you're lecturing me on what I think others think and telling me what you think others think to do so. Irony. I can see that different people see things differently, but you're the only person that I've seen to put this issue the way you have.

While my person experiences with socialist complaining about capitalism need not represent the whole, I have no evidence what-so-ever that yours do either.
