The "died broke" is a favorite lie among the Marxists.

It's pretty easy dumber, tell us what you would excel at that requires no capital investment, no money?
You made a retarded claim - can't you back it up?

Read my posts, illiterate cumstain. No, wait. Have a literate 10 year old read them, then EXPLAIN them to you. Have them use crayons snd stick figures. Perhaps you’ll be able to grasp those concepts.

So the voluntary production of products and services for voluntary sale at the agreed upon price is 'evil'. You would rather see socialism, which depends on theft to exist, as 'good'.
You are fucked up.

Because she so eloquently describes the benefits of capitalism, and why it is superior to any other economic system?

So you won't answer the question. You can't define what capitalism is.
Won't work. YOU have to define it. You cannot use anyone else to answer for you.
Slavery is a form of socialism. It is based on theft of labor. The Master takes care of the slaves and exploits their labor. That's socialism, dude.
Who are YOU to say "it's enough"? YOU are not the king. Price controls don't work.
There is. If you want to give your labor away for nothing, that's YOUR problem. You are in a market saturated with losers just like you. Go out and get yourself a skill and make yourself useful to people.
A man with great advice.
Nope. He paid them market wages.
Yeah, he did misuse Darwin's failed theory that way.
So?
Carnagie paid his workers the market rate. That is not slavery. They were allowed to quit anytime.
There's that socialist 'we' again. You are not everyone, Sock.
Whining about your miserable lot because you choose to remain unskilled is YOUR problem.
Buzzword fallacy. What is this 'pollution'? What is it 'polluting' and how?
So you whine yet again. Get yourself a skill, loser. Make yourself worth something to somebody. You have only yourself to blame for low wages.
Capitalism is the voluntary production of products and services for voluntary sale at the agreed upon price.
Your label is a service. You volunteered that service for the market (agreed upon) price. You have only yourself to blame.

Well put.
He is trying to redefine 'slavery', which is a form of socialism, not capitalism. Like all forms of socialism, slavery is based on theft.

Individuals, companies, corporations, and business in general is all about human beings, Sock. A market does not exist without human beings.

Okay. Let's talk about this greed.
Company Y produces a product X. It competes with other companies producing similar products.
People like product X, and it's for sale at a price people are willing to pay, so they buy it.
If product X from company Y is better built, but available at the same price, they are going to sell more. There is better quality for the price.
If product X from another company is inferior, people will buy it, but be disappointed in it, and word gets around. Fewer people buy the inferior product which is sold at the same price.
Company Y of course wants to charge as much as possible for it's product X. That's greed.
People buying product X want to pay as little as possible for that product. That's greed.
Somewhere along the way, product X finds a price that people are willing to pay. That's compromise. It is the heart of capitalism.
If Company Y charges too much for product X, people won't buy it.
If Company Y charges too little for product X, people will buy it, but company Y won't make much money (if at all).
Yes...greed drives capitalism. Greed on BOTH sides of the deal. ONLY when the price is discovered that BOTH sides agree on, does the deal go through and keep company Y profitable to produce even better products or a greater array of products.
Griping about Apple using 'slave workers' in China? Oddly enough, Apple paid them. That's not slavery. If you don't think Apple's business practices are very good, don't buy their product. It's as simple as that.
What makes these wages so low for unskilled workers? The simple fact that there are so many of them! What people will pay for is something that is more rare. They don't pay a lot for common sand. They'll pay a lot for diamonds, though.
Fortunately, it's possible to go out and get yourself a worthwhile skill that people are willing to pay top dollar for.
Whining about your low wages is like sand whining that it's sand.
Such whiners have only themselves to blame.
Capitalism encourages people to produce a better product or cheaper (or both!) to compete in the market.
Example: The computer industry once consisted of machines that needed a fair sized building just to house it. They were expensive, required many trained technicians and programmers to run it, and they broke down a lot and consumed a lot of power. They even needed a dedicated HVAC and fire control system dedicated to just that machine.
Today, personal computers are so common people don't even recognize them as computers far more powerful than an IBM360, such as their phones. That little Android or Apple phone can easily run rings around an IBM 360. Desktop machines, laptops, phones, even kiosk machines (like ATMs and slot machines) are far more capable (and a lot cheaper!) than that big iron. No dedicated HVAC or fire control system required either. No special wiring required. Just plug it in to a standard C15 wall outlet.
What reduced the size of the computer to sit in your pocket or on your desk? Capitalism. One by one, piece by piece, the personal computer was born and became part of everyday life in America, and the market for them has expanded to trillions of dollars.
And good old capitalism did that!
Only capitalism can create wealth out of nothing but work, innovation, drive, and maybe a few raw materials.

Capitalism needs no 'fetters'. It can run without any government just fine. It is self regulating, since price discovery is the compromise that makes it all work and creates the incentive to improve available products and services.
Government manipulation of markets has a name: fascism. It is government telling you what you can make, how much you can sell it for, where you must buy your raw materials from, who you can hire, who you can fire, your hours or place of business, etc. That is tyranny. Price controls do NOT WORK. They always cause the same thing: shortages. It doesn't matter if it's price controls on gasoline or price controls on wages (like minimum wage laws).
Government ownership of markets also has a name: communism. It is government OWNING companies, products, or services. They intend to be a monopoly. Indeed, monopolies can ONLY EXIST with government help.
Under capitalism, a monopoly is self destructive. It's only a matter of time (usually short) before some little company comes along and shoots the larger corporation's kneecaps off. The big company is simply to big to maneuver as well as the smaller company in producing a superior or cheaper product. Examples: Microsoft that shot off IBM's kneecaps and broke that monopoly. Linus Torvald's OS (linux), and Amazon's Web Services, and Google, that is currently shooting off Microsoft's kneecaps.
Before there were cities across the U.S., people traveled out into the weeds to where these cities would eventually be built. They created products (food, clothing, guns, whatever), and formed communities. They built every single building now in those cities over time. One by one. They build that city out of literally nothing but hard work, a few resources, and innovation and drive.
There was no government. They formed THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT after the fact. No government built those communities. CAPITALISM built those communities, and the cities to follow. They created whole cities out of the weeds, themselves, and formed their own government as they saw fit to quell any thievery and other crimes.
Fascism (government manipulation of markets) is NOT capitalism at all. It is socialism. All socialism is based on theft. Only capitalism can create wealth out of nothing.

Fascism is not capitalism, Sock. Taxes and regulations are not capitalism either. Monopolies can only continue to exist with government help.
