Capitalism cannot exist without the state oppression* and violence.
Definition of capitalism
: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.-Merriam-Webster
There is no state control in the FREE MARKET.
The violence where “the government have to take from someone else to give someone something” is happening in the US just now. Jeff Bezos is getting $11 million an hour, while paying his workers $12, and is going to be authorized to collect taxes instead of paying them! What would you call that?
Does Bezos receive tax breaks from government that the $12/h workers do not? USPS subsidy and tax breaks/subsidies of $1.2bil
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. 2b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state.
Government is choosing winners and losers and controlling the means of production, which by definition is socialism.
Franklin D. Roosevelt presidency (1933-1945) 99.5% tax imposed Jan 1, 1941. Dec 7, 1941, almost a year later exactly there is a War and the government uses all that revenue to create the largest military industrial complex in history. Great, socialism.
And not to mention the socialist control policy of the federal reserve (1913), controlling the means of production through centralized control and manipulation of the money supply. Which lead to the 1929 crash you blame on capitalism.
There is no free market. It is propaganda.
And yes, its all capitalism that you call “socialism”. Congratulations.

I clearly explained that the current system is largely socialist, and that there are no free markets in socialism. And by definition, capitalism relies on the individual consumer competing to make free choices without the control of government.
Please continue to research so that you don't continue to fail at understanding these definitions, and I wish you the best enjoying your individual rights before the socialists take them from you.
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about and refuse to learn. Thinking that everything so far was socialism, which will be succeeded by the “humane capitalism” is tragic. You’ll probably learn the hard way.
