Change my mind: Capitalism is an inherent class struggle between those who do the work and those who own/run the means of production

Seriously, if you have a persuasive enough argument I will change my mind.

False. Capitalism is the free, as in voluntary, exchange of goods and commodities and the private ownership of work provided. Nothing less, nothing more.

What you described is the usual socialist talking point that has nothing to do with reality.

@Sicarium I see. Well maybe you can elaborate?

@SW-User On what?

SW-User

@Sicarium On the points you made.

@SW-User Did you even try to understand it? Because a blanket "please elobarate" usually means "I don't give a shit".

@Sicarium I do understand it. I just want to hear your more in-depth thoughts on the subject.

@SW-User There is no more in depth. It's that simple. Voluntary exchange. Your labor, your goods, your products, your whatever are yours. If you want to sell any of that, do it. If not, don't. Same for buying. Nobody can force you to sell or buy and nobody can claim what's yours.
