    Capitalism is not the ownership of the means of production.

    Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production.

    Your arrogance is disheartening and sad. Your lack of knowledge and willingness to understand the problem and fix it is pathetic. You would rather argue with strangers than educate yourself and understand others’ points of view.

    You are part of the problem.

      You seem to have responded to many of my comments. Not sure how to take that.

      I know exactly what capitalism is and I vouch against it.

      Instead of making wild accusatory exclamations why don’t you actually address anything that I have written down so far aside from the vague definition I gave for capitalism which I didn’t realize that I need to be so damn specific about it on a Lemmy comment.

      I’m completely aware that it is the private ownership of the means of production.

      Moreover it is just a part of the definition for capitalism I provided the full definition of capitalism and socialism the same comment that you also commented under. You called me arrogant and little and pathetic.

      Capitalism does function because that’s the country that I live in and it’s not a bad life it functions well in the framework that it exists in I’m not in support of that I’m simply stating and objective fact the fact that it functions isn’t a positive notation of capitalism just that it does.

      Capitalism and oligarchy are absolutely compatible considering that oligarchs are usually extremely rich in the capitalist societies that they live in.

      I have been in detriment and have denounced capitalism in every comment that I have responded with and yet for some reason you think I’m arrogant and little.

      My original comment was denouncing capitalism for the corporate oligarchy that it has become and people were arguing against capitalism and against that too for reasons that they do not understand in context to their argument against my own.

      The mere fact that I have to provide extremely detailed definitions of what capitalism is and they still don’t understand what I’m trying to say when I’m not saying anything particularly complicated it’s not arrogant on my part it’s idiocy on theirs.

      So let me say this again I don’t like capitalism I think it’s a bad system an evil one inherently.

      Is there anything that you would like to say in reference to my comment concerning capitalism and the fact that it’s turned into a corporate oligarchy at the very least in the United States?
