Capitalism vs Trade

When I say capitalism, I'm talking about trade. When you say capitalism, you're talking about a lot of things. One of those things may include what was happening America in the late 1800's. Some of that may include slaves. Now, historically, some slaves have been black. Some slaves have been white. Also, some of the slaves have been children.

Capitalism vs Communism

The following defines communism: “I have a banana plantation, and a group of you who are ready to work at my plantation all day are going to get one banana. The rest of you can drop dead.” So, your quote defines communism, not capitalism. Also, your Marx reference is also defining communism and not capitalism.

Defining Terms
It comes back down to how words are defined. As an English Teacher, I can tell you that words mutate over time. Some words can be coined. Words can have specific and also generic definitions. Also, some people, like Light Eye, may be triggered by words like Capitalism. So, I just use the the word "TRADE" instead as that is the word he used. So, I will say that I like trade. That is what I like. I like "C" word. But I guess that "C" word is bad. Yeah. So bad. So, we will use the T word. Trade.
