    Brother you just equated capitalism with the concept of being able to purchase things. You really think you have any grounds to talk about using broad terms? I mean honestly?

      I mean fine, I guess I’m just ignorant, why won’t you help me understand the concept in a way that does not rely on me already knowing the concept?

        No the problem is you asking the wrong question. I gave you the definition of a capitalist. But what you seem to want is a definition of capitalism.

        In the most basic terms capitalism is when private ownership, ie those with the most capital, control the means of production.
