If I tell you to get the fuck out of my way I also regulate population but I’m not the state.
Regulate would mean a legal basis to dictate/legislate to.
Note that even your definition says ‘a’, not ‘the’.
You're going to have to be a bit more specific than that, there are a lot of "a"s
Also, and more importantly, enslaved people are seen as property (and thus also as means of production) instead of population.
Yes, that is how they were seen by some people. And those people were wrong. If I become a tyrant and declare I'm the only real person and everyone else is my property, then seize all their property- is that capitalism? Because 1 person just owns all the property? No, its because the definition of person is wrong. Enslaved people were still people, so they could not be property, even though the law claimed they could be.
Yep, the US isn't purely capitalist, its a mixed economy, from the logic of Milton Friedman its fair to say its nearing 50% capitalist. There have been times where its been nearing 70% but never much more than that. But the same is true the other way, to my understanding there have essentially never been purely socialist economies. Furthermore, the US has individual fields within its economy where how capitalist it is differs- like I would say the internet is generally a bit more capitalist.
Far from it. Company towns were often Neo-fuedal state-like entities where they held an illegitimate claim to the land oftentimes and would legal use violence to enforce their rules.
Capitalism is an economic system requires private control of the means of production, for real private control that requires a free and fair market. I could go into that more if you want, but I think I'll address it somewhat later.
That's not true. Capitalism is not "earning a profit and people being greedy". Capitalism is private control of the means of production, as said in another comment private != state, and when you have authority to regulate people(as in legislate and dictate to them) you are a state-like entity. If I decide to point a gun at you and force you to work for me so I can then barter with others from the profits of your labor, that is not capitalism.
Capitalism does not require commodity production. And it is not solely private ownership, it is private ownership and control. De facto and de jure. "You own the factory but the government tells you what to produce" is not capitalism, you don't truly own it from my perspective, and you definitely don't control it.
Silly yet true.
Yep, they may be the least anti-capitalist of these three groups, but they still did not care about attacking capitalism if(and it does) contradict the goal of white supremacy.
Yep, not as a sole economic system of economy, as talked about previously.
That's more of political system of corporatocracy, and y'know, isn't actually the definition of capitalism. But yes, if that is how you define capitalism, I oppose that.
But this I disagree with, there was organized individual bargaining- because I don't believe collectives exist.
Eh, Marx was not the most collectivist.
I'm glad we agree, but this is what some real people actually advocate.
To me it is less about beliefs on individual matters, and instead about priorities. The most extreme individualist believes that only individual people exist and they're the only thing that matters, the most extreme collectivist believes that there is no such thing as an individual person outside a collective- and only collectives or a specific collective matters. I agree there are very few people of that extreme a collectivist stance, but they do exist, a lot of chronically online "race realists" are like that.
Capital can be anything that is used for labor of a good, even if the good and the capital are both produced by an individual themselves. Though I do disagree with the classical definition where "means of production" and "capital" are the same thing, because I would say the modern definition of capitalism requires private control of the means of production- and would include labor in the means of production.
Already discussed our different definition of capitalism so I won't repeat it here.
This is where I will disagree, the internet being the closest to a capitalist economy out of to my knowledge anything that's ever existed- though still far from being entirely capitalist- is one of the most fractured and easily "disrupt-able"(I hate techbro words) markets- and that's despite the excessive state intervention fighting to build monopolies through intellectual property law and massive contract awards.
I support your animosity towards economists(at least most of them).
Fair, actually my favorite terms are privatist, or voluntarist- they're the most explicit.
No my point isn't that they didn't work to support it, its that they weren't the core motivators behind it. Hitler wasn't fighting to help the companies, the companies just saw that if they were cozy to him he probably would.
