Oh, ok. You don't have an answer.

I'm curious, because someone else says they own my home, and they are making me pay them, or else they'll send the police to beat me up and lock me up if I refuse to leave.

Is this capitalism or not?

Nah, actually you're too dopey and dishonest for me to want to interact with any more. However, I want to make sure other people can see through your self-righteous BS, so I am putting in some time.

You've learned your lesson for the day, so no worries:

To be a capitalist you do not need to own a cardboard box, or x number of cardboard boxes, or if you do own a cardboard box that does not mean you can not be a capitalist. In fact no reputable definition of capitalism mentions cardboard boxes.

It's a small step.

You'd better take that one up with No1, he's the one claiming capitalism is only possible with the states approval, I would say that the state more often than not is the one violating property rights, if you read back through to how all this started it was I saying that the scenarios set up in Ireland and your example in the US were not the result of capitalism, you can't blaim capitalism, but you do because of your woeful compreheshion of what it is.

I don't know the details of your circumstance so obviously I cannot comment on them.

It is based on your right to your property No1, it doesn't take the state, all it takes is two people that recognise those rights in each other.

You consistently confuse any market with the particular type of economic organization called capitalism. All economic systems recognize an individual can possess property and none (including capitalism) have no restraints on ownership of property.

That, my friends, is intellectual dishonesty.
