Replying to Avatar Comte de Sats Germain

Capitalism is the idea that capital is what drives the economy.

Now define capital...

Capital is anything that allows you to do stuff. Money is usually seen as capital, though IMO its debatable, but a factory or a tractor is always capital. Without certain equipment, your ability to do things is hindered, maybe entirely stopped. Is a bank or corporation necessary to build a house? They want you to think do, but they aren't. The hammer you use is capital ; the money used to buy the hammer is capital, but money sitting unused is not capital.

The trick they play on us is making us believe that money printed and loaned is capital. It is not. The things it buys is capital, and the printers are thieves, because the producer of the hammer didn't know the money was worth less than before.

This is why I say that banks and capitalism cannot coexist. Capitalism asserts that capital is the basis of growth. Theft is destruction, so it reduces growth.

Capitalism is not commerce and trade.

Capitalism refers to who owns the means of production.

Before capitalism things were either owned by nobility or by the people collectively.

Capitalism only changed who owns what.

We had money for thousands of years before capitalism.
