Maybe I should say this way. The colonialists did things in a feudal way so that it actually hurt the capitalism in America. The nature of American revoution was to promote the capitalism.
>>All men are created equal before God (and endowed with certain inalienable rights). It had absolutely nothing to do with who owned what.
Marx dinn't think so. Marx believed that the social status was determined by the economic status.
>>In Marxism if I own more than you then we are not equal.
Rgiht, because we are at different starting points.
>>In American-ism. If I am a billionaire, and you are a peasant, we are both equal before God and the law.
Not true in reality. You can hire a lawyer to escape imprisonment but I can't afford, so I go to jail.
Some people say those lawyers may not be as good as others (sometimes) and that is constantly talked about as a weak point that must be addressed.
Everyone has a lawyer though. No matter who you are. (That is if you get in trouble with the law).
"Capitalism" is a made up word. It was made up in the year 1877. That is over 100 years after America was independent.
"Capitalism" is a communist code word.
The Brits were monopolistic bullies, and the American entrepreneurs did not like that too much.
Define "capitalism"... I think your statement here is strange...
Marx dinn't think so. Marx believed that the social status was determined by the economic status.
Marx thought this way, but the Americans did not, and still don't.
Rgiht, because we are at different starting points.
America was born with religious beliefs. We do not start out at different points because we all started from God and should be treated like that is so. Rich people were born naked just like poor people.
