      Alright, Im fine with that definition, thanks for clarifying that.

      However, if I invest part of my money (eg. into stocks or ETFs) as you do if you want to start saving money, that would make me a capitalist, wouldnt it? Your previous comment kind of made it seem like all capitalists are evil and rich af…

          Im not wealthy by any means, though the wealth cant be the deciding factor, can it?

          If Im a student with a savings plan (one where you put aside money every month and invest it [not sure if thats the correct Engkish term]) so it grows over time, am I a capitalist in your opinion?

          The raw materials of trade and production are fixed quantities so any profit must come from paying the worker less than their labor produces.

          The finished product is worth more than what their labour produces, otherwise they could just sell the product themselves. Because the organization, strategy, marketing and the needed capital for all of that are values in itself.

          A quick question about that trading example, as far as I know market manipulation is illegal so using that to your advantage wouldnt worky right?

      you forgot to show the adjective definition, which is what he is using in his sentence. and you are the one dispensing in petty arguments by continueing the arguement unti you get final say.
