| Oh, it also says 800k+ deaths of Palestinians by Israel, yet the entire conflict between Israel and all Arab countries hasn't even equalled 100k. |

| Apartheid South Africa was the opposite of capitalism. Capitalism is equal opportunity, not oppressing people with government. |

That is the fundamental element of capitalism. Anyone, if they work hard, can do something and make money off of it.
Also, even if that were not true, oppressing a certain race is not capitalism. Capitalism allows anyone of any race to try and work hard and do well, apartheid outlaws it. |

That is not apartheid.
Also, you put down this video, I pointed out numerous flaws, and you only argue against one. Does that mean you agree with me on the rest of my points? |

You didn't respond to all of my threads. Does that mean you agree with them? ___ You can't answer a question with a question, and I didn't respond to all the threads because I don't feel like watching videos, write out what you want to say
Im sure the factory workers have LOTS of equal opportunity
/s ___ They can work hard and make money |

How so? Capitalism is imperialism. Explain how it is not. ___ Burden of proof, you have to prove it. However, this one is relatively easy to do, so I will do so also.
Capitalism is an economic system where people start companies and make money with limited government intervention. Imperialism is when governments intervene in other places by establishing colonies and expanding government influence. This is almost completely opposite to capitalism. |

Capitalism is based on voluntary, mutually beneficial trade.
Imperialism is based on coerced and forced trade where only one side benefits.
Pretty big difference. |
