Sounds like you have a serious reading problem there.

I think he meant they were inspired in their writing to provide an answer to fuckwits like the one in the article. Evil capitalists are not a modern occurrence, they existed in the whole of human history unfortunately

Lol no. Capitalism is not when some people are richer than you

That's exactly what capitalism is. The root definition of capital is: "wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organization or available for a purpose such as starting a company or investing"

So yes, if someone has money available for anything other than basic necessities and sufficient to help him start a business enterprise he or she can be defined as "capitalist".

Just because we didn't use this name for kings, nobles and priests in the past doesn't mean that capitalists never existed before the advent of Marx

Lmao I too love to misinterpret definitions and build my entire worldview around that

Truly spectacular.

Almost as spectacular as the void left by your reply. You assess I misinterpreted the literal vocabulary definition of "capital" yet you don't provide any alternative definition to counter my argument

lmao

I don't feel the need to get into the weeds on the meaning of words with you. You're not intent on living in reality - in fact, you believe Marx coined the term "capitalists."

Risus abundat in ore stultorum

Strong agree.

Oh my, I'm sorry you commented on my post, I'll try to avoid you commenting again in future to my replies. Facepalm

I've never said Marx coined the word "capitalists". I agreed with the OP to this thread that he was together with Hegel the one rationalising and explaining class warfare to the masses.

Strong agree.

Less LMAOs and more debate then
