Who ever said that #capitalism means that the means of production have to be in the hands of the 'owning class'? I only see commies using these terms, non of the Austrian economists, mainstream economists or economic publication are using it like this.

Capitalism just means that the rightful owner of capital or capital goods is the one who gets to control it (you get to keep your own stuff). I think the fact that we see an 'owning class' in our current society, is because of central banking. One small class of people is literally stealing 8% of the capital from the class of the rest of the people per year. This isn't capitalism, but statism / fascism.

About the #Bitcoin part I fully agree, I think it will prevent any type of government from growing out of control.

"Capitalism" is mostly, just like any other word, (ab)used without stating the definition they have attached to the word.

We see this most clearly in politics, economics, monetary theories etc.

You can just label something "Far-left, Far-right, Capitalism, Inflation, Ponzi, Climate-change, Owning class, Commies, Nazi, etc. and use it to come to some conclusions.....

It works best to hide the labeling all together and just use those words by slipping them into a conversation as being obvious what it is..... and move on to first the subtle mind settings to go to conclusions, to finally arrive to the usually extreme convictions !

If we don't take a step back and agree on the meaning/definition of the words used don't even start an argument.

It is waisted time.

Once you start to notice these practices you will see how often the are abused in news, propaganda pieces, and yes in every days life.

Guard yourself against it.

Yes, 100% agree. You can't hate #capitalism in the original meaning of the word without looking incedible stupid.

So everyone who want to control what is not theirs, have to bend the meaning to dunk on it and promote their #socialism.

It's confusion on purpose.

You agree and yet your conclusion is the opposite? Wake the fuck up

He's saying exactly what I say 😀

You are parroting propaganda from the people who hate you.

Your government hates you.

USA is corrupt. Wake the fuck up stop being fools

Exactly.

This American doublespeak makes all good faith political discourse impossible.

That's the point though.

The American government brainwashed it's people to use doublespeak so that us foreigners could never have any kind of meaningful discussion with them

"why do words have meaning"

Notice how it's only ever Americans complaining about the meaning of words?

You were brainwashed by the mainstream media and education system.

Wake up

1) If we don't agree about the meaning of words, we won't understand each other by default

2) I am not an American

3) Most of what I say is based on #AustrianEconomics, which is literally held away from the public when the gov had a full monopoly on information and is getting very popular now the internet broke their monopoly, which tells me that its very anti mainstream media and anti government
