This is one of the most obscene definitions of Capitalism I have ever seen or heard, specifically because it violates the very nature of what Capitalism stands for.

Capitalism is about an individuals right to PRODUCE by his own mind, by is own effort. In what irrational, amoral trash-can did you dig out the idea that to steal what is produced by others is synonymous with production? Capitalism does NOT include violating the individual rights of others, and never will. Capitalism DEPENDS on the individual rights of man to his own property, to what he produces.

The kind of tripe that you are spewing: to take what someone else produces for your own benefit or the benefit of others; i.e. to steal by force, is the product of Altruism, not Capitalism. If you want an example of how well Altruism works, you need not look further than the consequences of what Altruism produced: Communism and it's less "extreme" brother, Socialism.

My advice to you, and all others who attempt to infect the minds of others with this kind of amoral garbage, is to re-educate yourself on the real meaning of the term Capitalism.

In a Capitalistic society, individuals earn wealth by their own minds and by their own effort. The value of what they PRODUCE determins their wealth, not the value of what they STEAL or TAKE from others. If another man produces a superior product, then the free market trades with him for that superior product, and he gains wealth because he is GOOD, because he is talented, smart, and puts forth the effort to produce. Nowhere in this equation does Capitalism promulgate stealing what is produced by others. Again, I direct you to Altruism (and its children) for this.

Be careful of what you post on the Internet. It's in writing. Much like an elephant, the Internet doesn't "forget".
