and some think yoyu don't have a sense of humour! :crazyeyes
whatever
did i hear the fridge door slam shut?
Errr...it proved you're entirely wrong. Want me to quote it for you?
Here ya go
MR is right, you are paranoid for a fight.
Errr...you're not reading are you? I said that trade != capitalism. Yes, trade is part of capitalism that is not in dispute. What is in dispute is your assertion that trade is the same as capitalism. It isn't, not by a long shot.
That doesn't even make sense.
I am agreeing with Morrocan, you are paranoid and as a result looking to stir things up for no reason.
Eh? What the fuck are you on about? Have you been taking drugs? You're asserting that "in modern times the use of the term capitialism in a business and economic term, not a political term is easily understood to include the use of monetary compensation for something provided, including farming, livestock, etc." Which doesn't really make much sense, but what you seem to be saying is that capitalism is defined by trade. It isn't.
Eh? Just because I'm showing that you're completely wrong, I must be looking to stir things up and I'm paranoid?
Trade is not the defining characteristic of capitalism.
Hence why the Soviet union was not capitalist :d
No, your definition of capitalism is not accurate.
Motherfucking trees. I KNEW IT! I'll teach them!
No. What you need to understand is that capitalism has defining characteristics that don't have anything to do what you state. The commodofication of labour, the accumulation of capital for its own sake etc are all defining aspects, not having a "free" market. Its you that has your own defintions - you consistently fail to point to any theory to back your points up.
Bollocks.
Labour is always a commodity, nitwit. You still haven't updated your ideas around the area of money have ya, ya big lunk!
I learned Mini's definition of capitalism in Uni. Where did you get yours? Out of a cereal box?
Profit or capital are not accumulated for thier own sakes. Thier reinvestment is crucial to the expansion of production and hence wealth, which is why the economic definition is as stated in the first post of this thread.
Capitalists dont just try to earn profit so they can sit on a golden chair amoung piles of gold laughing thunderously at the poor peasents adding more money to thier bank accounts.
Errrr...you're wrong. The making of money has become an end in itself. Money ploughed back in is not profit, its an expense and is accounted for as such. Private personal profit is the goal of capitalism.
Sure they do - it's called "dividends".
