      The possession of personal property can’t earn you any money

      If I understand it correctly my laptop and 3d printer, are private property since I can make money with those…

        No you can’t. You have to create a legal entity before you’re allowed to make money.

          I’m not sure if thats required here, but it’s totally possible without asking for government permission

          Edit: i might be wrong here because of “legal speak” language barrier, but if I understand correctly you can make money from your business as a regular person just fine (legally). There’s just a limit on how much you can earn before needing yo register as a business

            You can make exactly $600 per year off your personal property before you run afoul of tax laws in the USA.

              Thats sad(

              There its ~25k$ IIRC. (Although doesn’t count net profit, just all money you recive)

              But there’s huge gray market here, and I’m sure US has it too

                Tax evasion is like pornography. Everybody takes part in it, but you’re never supposed to get caught. Walking that tightrope perfectly will lead you straight to the White House.

                  I guess US just sucks if you want some independence in your life…

                  But back to my original point, without a state and violence what would stop me from owning that property and making money/accumulateing capital with it? (Although I personally think that just trade is free market and not capitalism, but I’m not sure about your view on this)

                  Also as a fun anecdote: our government used taxpayers money to put ads asking people to “get out of gray” and pay taxes 🤣 That’s how big gray market here

                    There’s nothing to stop you, which is why communities grow into hierarchies. Those hierarchies eventually destroy communities and start using scapegoats to excuse their own corruption and failure. As long as people accept these lies, the scapegoating turns into genocide. There is an alternate ending though, and that’s for enough people to become aware of societal injustice to establish a community that’s larger than the hierarchies, and force reallocation of resources to create an egalitarian society. That’s why conservatives, all of whom are invested in the scapegoating tactics, are anti-woke.
