Witnessing a theft of food I'd be sooner to resort to violence on behalf of the starving man than the capitalist

You've never known middle-class shoplifters? Admittedly, by their 20s become risk-averse. But in high school and college, they might not be.
Don't be surprised when those capitalists you hate stop providing you the goods and services you want at prices you find affordable then.
I mean the great thing about the free market is there is always someone else.
If you hate capitalism so much, what are you doing on a forum for startups?
I don't like the smell of sewage, but I still have to shit.

If you hate being exposed to differing points of view so much, what are you doing on a forum?

Commerce != capitalism
GP was definitely attacking capitalism. For someone throwing drive by accusations of fallacy around you sure could improve your text comprehension.
I'm fully aware of this. I'm saying you could be against capitalism and still be interested in starting a business and networking on a forum like this one. People start businesses for many reasons, not only the pure accumulation of capital.
