This is a hard pill to swallow for leftists but basically everyone is a capitalist if they are not stealing.

This is a hard pill to swallow for leftists but basically everyone is a capitalist if they are not stealing. | There seems to be a whole lot of people who all of the sudden have absolutely no idea what is capitalism. Capitalism is the free exchange of goods and/or services. Now you're an expert on capitalism; And you thought it was something else.  Sorry but Karl Marx was an idiot.  He never held a job his entire life yet he thought he was an expert on how business works. | image tagged in capitalism is not a crime,the more you know | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

So very true.

But it would have to be true history, not revisionist history. It would have to be unbiased civics, not one sided. And it would have to be actual science, not where the conclusion was decided by the government before scientists were hired to build the "science" around the conclusion and then announce the science has been settled..

All of you socialists sitting in front of your computer bought your computer. You engaged in capitalism. If you're on your cellphone instead you engaged in capitalism. If you're eating dinner you're a capitalist.

In fact the only way you can live without being a capitalist is if you steal. I suppose you can live in a cave and savage for food. But if you want to live any kind of normal and civilized life you cannot do without the free exchange of goods and/or services. Even if the worst communist nation possible, there will always be a black market where you can exchanges goods

Bartering is capitalism. Using money is capitalism.

So before you think you can destroy capitalism, just realize that you can't. No one can. And it is not evil. People are evil and can do evil things. They can try to cheat you but cheating is not capitalism, it is corruption. Greed is not capitalism. Envy is not capitalism. Corporations who buy politicians are not capitalists. Democrat congressmen and women engaging in insider trading is not capitalism.

Karl Marx invented the word and the incorrectly defined it. Karl Marx had no clue about the business world. He just observed it from a far. He never worked. He freeloaded off of everyone he knew, just like Bernie Sanders. But Bernie Sanders now owns 3 mansions because Bernie Sanders is a big time capitalist.

Capitalism is not evil. The evil comes from the people but evil people do not define capitalism.

Anyone who has ever traded money for a product or sold something and got money is a capitalist. If you traded and item with someone for another item, you a capitalist.

Capitalism does not control your life, it does not steal money from you. It doesn't make the rich richer without making the poor richer.

To the people who have been told capitalism is something else and just cannot believe what I am saying, open your mind. Stop being close minded. Just because all of your other leftist friends all agree that capitalism is bad, they are flat out wrong.

And here's the simple economic fact. When you trade one product or service or money for another product or service, both you and the person you traded with became wealthier. Capitalism is the only way wealth is created.

Socialism is how wealth is destroyed.
