I think the mistake here made me realise something about myself, I was like "I'm not sure this guy understands how capitalism is actually defined... actually neither do I" when I looked it up it was basically that all the money is owned by a few people and everyone else works for scraps. The American Dream was originally "anyone can work hard and become wealthy" is more at odds with capitalism than I would have thought. With capitalism not being that different from a monarchy, it actually feels that it's against everything the Americans stood for when they told the British to piss off.

It's about a "Free Market" which is dimensioning quickly in America. I'm not sure that it's so much about Fuck Capitalism as it Fuck Those Who Exploit Capitalism. It's just like socialism, if it weren't for the people involved, things would work just fine. I feel as this game is about pushing the pendulum back towards center. Which always causes it to swing the other way, but when you decided that you're middle of aisle most of your time is pulling things back to center.

The goal of capitalism is to make a profit. It's also about competition since your competitors will cause you to make less profit. So if your competitors start using slave labour then you oughta use slave labour as well  if you want to stay competitive. Otherwise you will be failing at capitalism since you will make less profit. The free market allows private businesses to offer lower prices due to the slave labour without government intervention. Capitalism is a game and the goal of the game is to make a profit. The government is the referee and they won't do much intervening or regulating of the competition. With little regulation and the pressure to make a profit, what did you think would happen? Did Jeff Bezos exploit capitalism? Did he find some bug in capitalism that allowed him to speedrun to having a billion dollars? That ain't no bug. It's a feature. He did exactly what you're supposed to do as a capitalist: Make a profit. He won at capitalism. Jeff Bezos is capitalism's endgame.

Free trade allowed for the trade of slaves. Lots of them too.

Socialism also allows right to property. I used Google to look it up:  

"While socialism calls for collective or shared ownership of the means of production, it does not imply that there is no private ownership of personal property. Thus, corporations and factories would be shared among the members of society, but individuals and households would still own their own personal effects." Source

I don't think anybody wants to share a communal toothbrush.

"Arbitrary" at best. Lmao yeah there's zero difference between owning a toothbrush and owning Amazon /s

That's why you've owned just as many Amazon's in your life as you have toothbrushes, right?

Imagine thinking you're so important that every socialist has to stop and address all your points.

You don't have anything original to say doofus. If people aren't answering you it's not because you're clever, it's because they've already heard it ten other times.
