^^^^^^^^^^You get more ridiculous with every post. Capitalism is based on private ownership of property^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's an important cornerstone of capitalism, but that's not what it's about.

Capitalism is an economic system based on individual rights. You have the right to privately own (pick something) but to limit capitalism simply to ownership shows how flawed your argument is.

To a business owner, employees are important capital but you don't own them. Capitalism is not limited to ownership.

^^^^^^Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned.^^^^^^^^^

Including, but not limited to. There's more to capitalism than just money and property.

LMAO! From your very own source, which you yourself quoted!

Yet, you've hilariously attempted to claim that giving one's property away to the community was quote "*THE VERY DEFINITION OF CAPITALISM*" emphasis yours. HA, then you wonder why all I do is laugh at you.
