Capitalism is based on theft because it is based entirely on the privatization of the planet and its resources.
Since Mother Nature does not have a store where you can purchase the planet, 100% of this privatization came by way of pillage and plunder. Like Mark Twain said, "There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed."
Privatization of the Earth and its resources means you are claiming control over a portion of the planet for your own private benefitto the exclusion of everyone elseandusing whatever force is necessary to maintain your control.That is theft.
When you privatize a part of the planet, you are stealing that part of the planet from everyone else.
Every single good and service we produce in our economy are produced using these stolen resources. Every single business is essentially trafficking in stolen goods. So our entire economy is actually based on ill-gotten gains.
The planet and its rich resources naturally belong to everyone equally. This gives everyone a natural, equal right to a job converting their planet's resources into useful goods and services and a natural, equal right to get paid fully for that work, as equal owners of the economy, without being exploited.

If capitalism is about theft, who exactly is being stolen from?
Jackson Sullivan
mother nature is no entity we are all the same logos, we are as much with "mother nature" as everything else is. nonsense name to give this idea that the biological functions of the planet have greater worth than the nonbiological ones.
who are you to say it "belongs" to us "equally" what is equal, an exact amount for every man? all of it held in common?

The earth belongs to no one so you are free to claim its parts and resources as you please, there is no such thing as mother nature
Juan Russell
If mother nature is a person as you claim, how has she shown her personhood? How has she enacted her agency, demonstrated her intelligence and agency?

Communists use those "ill gotten gains" as well, why does it make a difference if you steal someone's shit and then share it with all your friends? And they also still have private property so what the fuck are you even talking about. It's a cute little poner booping her little snootle!!

It's funny how capitalists and porky bootlickers sperg out at the simple thought of the people taking what is rightly theirs, whether through OPs justification, or through sheer collective will to power.
The great day of vengeance will be terrible, for the bourgeoisie and their defenders.

>Capitalism is based on theft because it is based entirely on the privatization of the planet and its resources. Incorrect. Capitalism is based on the idea that transactions should be made voluntarily and at the discretion of the buyer and the seller. Regarding the privatization of the planet and resources what the fuck are you talking about? He will still have a shit ton of oil, wheat, trees/paper, soy, oranges, fruits, vegetables, and gold. And, theoretically, if a company were to have 100% market share on a market (let’s say pork bellies), he might raise the prices. If that happens, consumers will seek less expensive alternatives. Examples: A company gets 100% market share in oil, and drives the prices up. Consumers will begin buying smart, electric cars in an effort to pay less, and entrepreneurs will use this to their advantage to create a product that will provide an alternative to help our way of life. Sometimes, charging lower prices means more profit (see government taxes for example)

>Since Mother Nature does not have a store where you can purchase the planet, 100% of this privatization came by way of pillage and plunder. Like Mark Twain said, "There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed." Because if anyone had enough money to “purchase the planet”, it would be run by people who think like you (like George Soros) who think that physical commodities are in short supply (because if they were, commodities trading would be 10x more hectic) and begin limiting supply driving the price up and, because he has “bought the Earth”, there would be no alternatives, and entrepreneurs would have a harder time making good products, as most of the raw materials would be owned by this globalist monopoly. Yes, because of our pillage and plunder we have failed. It’s not like we created the most successful and least oppressive economic system ever through discovery and he harvesting of materials from those who were not smart enough to do it. Without this “pillage and plunder” the computer or phone or whatever you use for making this post would never exist, as the creators of such devices were driven by the common goal to innovate and make a profit. Again, by lowering their prices and by offering a better service, they thrives in the market. Again, you keep bringing up the plunder and pillage shit like it’s a bad thing, when in reality, this has caused more economic growth than ever. Examples: Gold found from the Americas introduced a gold market, as well as inspired people to risk their savings to be able to mine it. Because of the demand for gold (and oil), the technology to mine it better improved, as the entrepreneurs who wanted to make money created products that made it easier for miners to mine these materials.

That is how nature has operated for millions of years before human beings even showed up. No one has an inherent "right" to anything.

If you work the land, put effort into it and then some faggots try to harvest it then they deserve a bullet between their eyes when caught.
