Yes, you did. But you are not actually capable of making that determination due to your never having read him.I said he was wrong.
That's a platitude and has no relation to Marx.When you give a government entity that much power, it doesn't end well.
What makes it capitalism is the way the businesses are structured. As capitalist enterprises!And it still doesn't matter since you still think the USPS or Amtrak is capitalism. What makes it capitalism to you is the fact that it isn't what Marx wanted to do.
...you're kidding me, it's not operated in a free market. Its ran by the state, it gets money wether or not the people giving the money use it, and it does not fail despite being a 17 BILLION DOLLAR black hole, being propped up by TAX PAYER MONEY. Even if this was some crazy world where this could be considered capitalism (IT IS NOT, GOES AGAINST THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF IT), this still isn't the same "state ran capitalism" you were referring to in your article...so you're just making shit up now. CAPITALISM IS BASED ON FREE MARKETS. Free markets meaning free from governmental control. Being a free market, in order to survive a business needs to provide a service or product that people are willing to pay enough for it to continue to be in business. If a business cannot it runs out of money, and is no longer a business. These business also have to compete with other business which is probably the most important part of capitalism. in order to be competitive, a business can lower prices, improve the service or product, improve marketing, or all of the above. These are the very basics of capitalism. It's the whole tax payer money thing, the fact that it's state ran, oh and the part where it's a 17 billion dollar black hole that wouldn't exist on the free market...despite getting free money vs it's competition (and still somehow can't compete), that all goes against capitalism. So if it lives in Asia, has black and orange stripes, doesn't hunt in packs, doesn't have a mane...it's actually a tiger. It's really as obvious as that. Or should I post Websters and oxfords definition of capitalism for you a 3rd time, or are they too much of brainwashed capitalistic pigs for you? You'd rather go with what the 19th century socialist said it was?Yes, you did. But you are not actually capable of making that determination due to your never having read him.I said he was wrong.

Not sure what point you are trying to make by bringing federal spending into the conversation. Not really pertinent. I never claimed the federal government was a business in and of itself.
It is operated in the "free" market. Anyone can purchase a ticket for the market price. Government isn't coercing people to buy tickets. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. It is a capitalist enterprise....you're kidding me, it's not operated in a free market.
I pay for Amtrak...even though I don't use Amtrak, I don't have a CHOICE in paying for Amtrak. 13 billion taxpayer dollars went to Amtrak. Amtrak has not turned a profit since its conception in the 70s, it is still around. It is also government ran. Not free market. See how easy that wasIt is operated in the "free" market.

That is called investing capital in a corporation, which is what Amtrak is. If that is not an investment you think is worthy you should take it up with your representative. But to say that the capital investment represents anything other than capitalism is delusional.I pay for Amtrak...even though I don't use Amtrak, I don't have a CHOICE in paying for Amtrak.
It is structured as a corporation. As the primary stock holder in the corporation, the American people via their elected representatives choose the Board of Directors. The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is run as a for- profit company. It is a perfect example of State capitalism.It is also government ran.
That's not how an investment works genius and you know it. I'm having a hard time believing you are that stupid to think to actually think you can call that an investment. I'm not even going to explain the simple concept of how an investment works, if you really are that dumb, look it up yourself. We have this thing called the internet, that pretty much has every single piece of recorded data in human history.

I think we're done here. I've said my piece and you clearly lack the integrity to look at the capitalist system objectively.That's not how an investment works genius and you know it.
