After a heated discussion with a left wing anarchist, probably communist: @anarchyhasnogods, I have to debunk a few misconceptions about capitalism. Of course he can't comprehend a few basic concepts but he was also very insulting, as generally leftists are.

So I explain some basic principles of capitalism, very bluntly, so that everyone can understand it once and for all.
<br/>
# Capitalism is not there to babysit you

That is right, capitalism is not a government, a capitalists job is not there to babysit you. It's not there to feed you. It's not there to cloth you.

Capitalism is a system of freedom. Now what you do with that freedom is your choice. You can either start working, or creating a business. Or you can spend that time complaining about why the "evil" capitalist is not giving his money to you.

That is what it is, capitalism is not a welfare system for workers. You can still help out poor people with charity, but that is not it's primary goal. In an advanced market system there will be no poor people, and the remaining poor people should be taken care of by their friends, family, community and allies. Economics is not government welfare, it's freedom.

<br/>
# Capitalism is not there to give a job for you

Capitalism is not there to give jobs to people. That is a byproduct. As I said, capitalism is freedom. You can either find a good job by matching your skills with available opportunities, or you can create a business, either way, it's your freedom of choice.

If you don't have a job, you may have time that is needed to learn a profession to make money. You can start up a business and then you can give jobs to other people, but that is not the point. The point is to make money, and you can only do that by creating a product or a service.

So you are serving the customer, therefore prices should go down in a free economy. And this means that wages go down as well. It's just how it is. But there is no reason why in a free economy people can't survive, unless it's a government created problem. Freedom should never be a hostile thing.

<br/>
# Your employer doesn't steal your money

Your employer doesn't steal your money, the government does. Your gross salary is what your labor is worth. That's it.

If you are unable to negotiate a higher salary, or are unworthy of it by lacking some skills, or if there are too many people competing for your position, then your salary will be low, and by definition that is what you deserve.

Now your gross salary is what you deserve, however you only get the net salary. Usually half of it is stolen away by government. So the thief is the government, not the capitalist.

<br/>
# Corporate system is not Capitalism

A corporation is a government chartered public entity. It's more close to aristocracy than to capitalism. Capitalism is the next phase of human evolution after 10,000 years of slavery and aristocracy. A corporate system is a nasty attempt to restore slavery.

A capitalist economy is based on voluntary market interactions. The only reason why this is disturbed is because of the existence of governments, and not even small ones. Governments that usually make up 50% of the GDP by spending, and probably have 70-80% control over it by laws.

So you can't really call capitalism our current system. It's a fascist/corporate/aristocratic system with all kinds of tyranny built in it.

 -------------------------

That's all, I hope many things are clarified. Capitalism is just freedom, and you should not fear freedom. If you do, then you will only get tyranny in return.
