Capitalism is when one person invests effort and/or resources to create a product and a different person rewards him with a commiserate amount of effort and/or resources, in order to pay for the use or acquisition of that product.

Both parties then walk away from the exchange without debt.

Compounding every participant's utility with every aingle transaction.

- the gap between that and what we have now is acivilization scale tragedy.

I like the simplest definition that says: capitalism is the accumulation of capital to produce more.

Yes, but I'm arguing a specific aspect of capitalism, that gets little attention.

your definition doesn’t reflect the reality though, because we live in a Fiat system where there will be debt after the exchanging the labour or resources via currency through fractional reserve banking.

That's why we need Bitcoin.

"Without debit" seems not so correct, seeing the absurd trend of instalment payments being offered and choosen, that is arising.

That's the effect of debt-based currency. No exchange without debt.

I suppose greed plays a role

big C capitalism is confused with crypto-feudalism by many people, unfortunately, but those people are retarded and are not going to get the whole freedom thing anyway

Well, we're commiserating, too. 🤭

yeah, the misery of listening to the dupes of socialist mindfuck indoctrination is quite painful i agree, especially when you provoke them verbalise their double think
