When the very first sentence misdefines capitalism, why bother reading the rest?

Capitalism produces EVERYHING socialists/communists wish to “redistribute.”

Socialism/communism can only exist as a parasite of capitalism.

Wow, hard to believe that people still think like this, after 100 million casualties and mass suffering everywhere it’s ever been tried.

holeecrud the stupid is strong

"Capitalism is defined as an economic system in which a country’s trade, industry, and profits are controlled by private companies, instead of by the people whose time and labor powers those companies"

He neglect to mention those people are paid wages and can support their families thanks to having been given a job by the 'capitalist'

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.

He HATED them.

You can NOT use any of Marx’s ideas to help the middle class.

But you middle class Marxists just love your Socialism.

The number one reason capitalism is better than socialism is socialism’s structure woefully lacks or fails every time it’s tried for the average person.

News management, censorship, history management, school indoctrination all over the USA. All working just great for the anti-capitalists.

An article in the news recently had a line explaining Henry Ford was an inventor and industrialist who popularized the car. That means it was NEWS to millennials and others who had never heard of him! What else aren’t they teaching in schools now?

The United States of America has grown from a small, startup country to rise to be the most powerful, wealthy, benevolent, and free country in the world through capitalism...Because of this, so many people from all over the world want to get into the USA...

The socialist/communist countries of the world (that are praised by liberals) are countries of high unemployment, poverty and little to no freedom...The only wealthy people in these countries are the political groups which continues to hold sway over the people with their socialistic principles...

The young people of today’s America need to look closely at the living conditions of the everyday people in the socialist/communist countries, such as Venezuala, Cuba, North Korea, China, Honduras...

Where did capitalism come from?

it came from the first time two men traded for what both of them needed but neither had, have for things they did have

Capitalism is the label that Marx had slapped on the free and unencumbered exchange of goods and services between private parties. It is not an ‘ism’.
