No True Scotsman applied to concept; fascinating.

Capitalism is circumlocutions of long dead people who provided little to society but the sound of their voice, vacuous writings.

So kind of the educated labor exploiters of the past to explain how the world must work. Very TINA of them.

Capitalism is people socially convincing each other there's a communal upside to capitalism. Sounds almost like socialist communist nonsense, this capitalism.

Strip away endless obfuscation the real economy is anything but physical statistics, it becomes clear capitalism is just empty rhetoric.

You said "if buying and selling things internationally makes a country capitalist," somebody told you that's not what capitalism is, and you said "no true scotsman."

You have to do better than this to convince people of things.

If you had said "Buying and selling things internationally makes a country capitalist" rather than posing a pointless hypothetical, you would have had to defend that, and you weren't ready to.

Capitalism and communism couldn’t be more different, in the true definition of the terms.

Communism is literally a ruling class dictating the lives of an entire country. Capitalism at least gives the opportunity of individual action.

You are allowed to hate capitalism, clearly you do, and advocate for socialism, et. al. Whatever point you think you just made with your post is completely devoid of substance.

Of course. I would argue that's even extremely obvious. But you will never hear a communist or socialist put it like that.
