The term "capitalism"

Some obscure author, I can't remember the name, is sometimes mentioned as the first user of the term "capitalism." About the same time as Marx began using the term in a concerted effort to promote a programmed economy, Marxism (effing communism also works) and in promoting the planned economy, Marx used capitalism as a term to deride that evil economy of personal choice. That's right, the left supports the personal choice necessary to exterminate a baby, but opposes the economy of personal choice (as in not participating in social stupidity).

If you're digging and you save up money and buy a shovel, YOU are an evil capitalist. If you buy an extra shovel, hire you're buddy to run it and make some of that P word (rhymes with mofit) then you are an enemy of the people (or at least the DNC).

I don't really apply capitalism to an economic discussion because "economy of choice" or more descriptive. The discussion really involves a comparison between a planned economy or economy of choice (laissez faire is French for leave alone - but we have a nice language in English). We must stop the commie fags from controlling the language. Who can oppose the economy of free choice? The commie pukes have vilified capitalism for most of a century.

Funny how those that vote for the socialists/communists and riot and loot because their despicable candidate loses or some other BLM type nonsense, take their vouchers and ebt cards, paid for by taxing capitalists and those mainly employed by such, and hit the major Walmart type super centers, the bastion of capitalism, without any thought of who really feeds the pig. Are any of them smart enough to realize that such generous freebies and goodies don't really exist in actual communist societies, and their type of crap isn't tolerated?

Thinking in those terms, that is irony. The planned economists take the money generated by the work of the tax payer, and then give it to the welfare class not in a planned way such as it was originally designed with help to obtain commodities being very regulated:

("Portland area residents who were "on relief" purchased booklets of orange colored stamps at a value equal to what they normally spent on food each month, or at least $4 per month, per family member. Orange stamps could purchase "any food usually sold in a grocery store," as well as "household articles usually bought in grocery stores, such as starch, soap, matches, etc," but could not purchase alcohol, tobacco or food eaten at stores (USDA, 1939).
For every $1 in orange stamps purchased, 50 additional cents of blue stamps were received. Blue stamps could only purchase commodity surplus foods. Grocers posted lists of the allowed surplus foods, adding fresh vegetables as they came into season.")

But have argued continuously for economy of choice with those funds to the point of expanding to ebt cards that can be used in about any gas station or bar. The push is constantly for more choice in use of the funds that were taken by lack of choice.

That is rich.
