Love to be told I need to do research by someone who can't even use words correctly in a sentence

Gosh I didn't know a country couldn't be capitalist if there were taxes. Please tell me more about basic terminology everyone else in the world is using wrong but you.

"i can't participate in a normal, healthy discussion and refute the other person with clearly made out points so I am going to resort to ad-hominem insults to gaslight and invalidate his points."

the "wokeist" label wasn't directed at you, i'm more commenting about individuals that take issue with cApiTaliSm but not really addressing the issue properly. Wokeists THINK capitalism is wrong BECAUSE it is capitalism. I am all for income redistribution and support a just and equitable society if you're wondering before you come at me again.

In any case, you're the one asserting it's a scam, shouldn't you be the one explaining why capitalism is a scam? the onus is on you mate, not the person cross-examining you.

Lmao I haven't had someone edit their entire comment after a reply since reddit-logo

What a fucking loser. Using woke woker wokeist as an insult. Go back to the pit

In short, the accumulation of capital by the capitalist class, profit generated by labour, as labour is the only source of capital. Hence, the working class sells its labour to the capitalist class for a wage, which ensures we'll never get the full value of our labour.

Sounds like a scam to me. Also 'no country is full capitalist' just shows how little you actually know about the topic at hand, yet you remain unbearrably smug in your ignorance. Real lib shit.
