Try again ED. Capitalism is rather new, and war and slavery are ancient. The rise of capitalism correlates with the world becoming more peaceful.
replied 2870d
More peaceful? You stupid fuck, both world wars are created during capitalism by the capitalists and there were more wars in last century then at any time before. You stupid fuck.

Actually it is thanks to the spread of capitalism after ww2 is q contributing factor to the great level of peace today.

You are by far, one of the most ignorant fucked up individual I came across.

That cant be true. I don't support communism.
replied 2869d
That is very true, and I don't give a shit what you support or not, I can see you don't know real history or what is what, I can see you are very brainwashed.
replied 2869d
It is wrong to judge a persons intelligence by how much they agree with you. You have no idea what things you "know" are wrong, and which are true.
replied 2869d
You don't know shit about history or what system is based on, you are completely brainwashed by capitalist propaganda and you are defending the very fucks that crate all wars.
replied 2869d
I am judging your intelligence based on your comments, as many of them are completely idiotic.
replied 2870d
So you are saying that peace if achieved by Capitalist funding private military (which is what US military is) to attack others, put in their puppets? You are indeed a total fuckhead.

Who are you, Cathy Newman? Of course I didn't say that. I am saying that war use to be the way a nation would get the resources of another. Trade is the peaceful option.
replied 2868d
What about "Trade Wars", that is a sort of war, where goods and services get bombarded by taxation and quotas left and right. Luckily goods and services can not suffer themselves.
replied 2868d
This is true. Trade wars do have repercussions. I could instead say that wars have become less deadly. Which is amazing considering the rise in population.

How do you define capitalism?
replied 2870d
Strong private property rights, and free markets. Companies controlled by private interests.

That's rather vague; just a bunch of associations.
Could you be more precise?
replied 2868d
Not really. I've never defined it beyond that. Capitalism is not s government structure. Capitalism is just the system that allows for free markets and private capital ownership.

Huh. Ok. What is the system of capitalism?
replied 2868d
By system I guess I mean government policies that allow it. It is not itself a government structure like a republic, or a dictatorship, etc. Different governments can allow capitalism.

So, by "capitalism is just the system" you mean "government policies that allow it"?
And, allow what?
replied 2868d
Free markets, or at least less market intervention than non-capitalist nations. I dont think we ever see total capitalism. We just see a liberal capitalism.

What would total capitalism look like?
replied 2864d
A libertarian ideal I guess. Very little, and limited government. Most things in life being available on the free market.

replied 2864d
How do different governments allow capitalism?
replied 2864d
By the amount of private property rights they allow, and how little they interfere with the markets.
